Volunteer-work, volunteering. Just look at the word and think for a moment about it. It’s honestly up to you. Anyhow, I’m trying to make a point here. Everyone always says how great volunteer-work is and how badly we need volunteers. I must say that I can’t disagree with them, especially since I’m about to become a volunteer myself. Let’s face it, they say that it’s a great thing but no-one ever becomes a volunteer themselves.

Anyhow, I should go back on topic. I’ve been thinking about doing volunteer-work myself for quite some time and I’m actually going to do it.

Yesterday I got the opportunity to register a domain with my name within it. That is this domain Martijn.co. I’ve simply picked that domain because I’m using the blogs Netherthoughts and Continious in order to express my self to all you peeps on the web and that domain got something of myself within it.
