I have a confession to make. I am the world’s worst typist.  No, truly I am and I am willing to admit it. Though I did learn to type many years ago, it didn’t really take. I skated through and it really shows when I’m at the keyboard trying to compose and I spend more [...]

Well that was not too bad. I just changed the template to my blog and it has not yet been very painful. I’m uncertain about whether some code made the transition smoothly but I’ll know for sure by tonight and if it didn’t it won’t be world-ending–it’s fixable. Regardless, the template that I fell in [...]

  First off, let me lay out who am to the degree that you can get some context. I’ve been blogging for five years, participating in forums two years longer than that, and using the Internet for eleven years. I had a career as a licensed clinical professional counselor prior to health issues which are [...]

What criteria do you feel makes a good QotD? A good Question of the Day should open up the possibilities of an answer that reveals something about me that I might not have thought to write about and in reading other’s answers I’ll be enlightened about them as well. I need to be able to [...]

Go to Disneyland. I’m serious! I’ve had a plan to meet up with out-of-state friends at Thanksgiving in California with part of my family’s time spent in the Land of the Mouse. We go every two years. However, my calculations were based on what I was earning at the time I made the decision. Due [...]

A quiz for all things Terminator Much more on this website on Terminator: TSCC That is one of the hardest quizzes I’ve ever taken for a television show. I did OK but I think maybe skipping one Terminator movie did me in! Great questions though. Some really hard even if you’ve seen some of the [...]

  I have no self control. I’m heading downstairs to watch Battlestar Galactica instead of going to bed. I hated that it was off for two weeks and I’m really hating that it’s the last season and I’m depressed because work is way down and TypePad which I’ve always loved is FUBAR and unlike their [...]

Since I keep a number of blogs I have about as many reasons for blogging so to simplify, I’ll keep my answer to the most personal one. The reason I blog is because I like to express myself. I’ve been doing a fairly good job of that even before I could write. I am intrigued [...]

I see that WordPress 2.5 is available for download. Without a doubt, I’m most excited about anything to do with new features for photo management. I really need to get my hands on the built-in galleries because I haven’t found a single plug-in for WordPress.org that completely matched my needs but equally important, my skill [...]

Think of 10 Internet years ago compared to today. Remember when AOL was a major player, Google was a quaint-looking but fast growing start-up, Pets.com–remember them with the talking puppet commercials on television? No one really knew what Amazon.com was, people become dot.com millionaires overnight. They were flush with success as were so many other [...]

And there’s really no reason anyone should care what I think of it but I like it; it’s a compelling read, study of two young newlyweds on their wedding night in 1962. I read on the jacket blurb that author Ian McEwan “is the master clockmaster of novelists.” Nicely said and very high praise from… [...]

Some folks I know do blogging for pay. I sometimes do, too. At best, it’s very part time earnings which I’m allowed to make though I receive a small disability check due to early onset heart failure. After several years went by and I improved from a very sad state to a state of “maintenance,” [...]

For the past 8 days I did nothing really but be sick. Today I: Changed all the towels and started and finished a wash. Spouse folded whilst he watch teevee as I was back on the ‘puter by then. I made delicious Banana-berry smoothies for younger son and I and they came out perfectly! This [...]

  Chris has been sick, sick, sick and home from school and my mood has mirrored today’s weather–bleak, gray, dismal. I fished through StumbleUpon looking for inspiration as well as Vox’s QotD’s and my saved stuff in del.ici.ous–nothing is inspiring me. I chose this blog to complain in because I’m really tired of reading other [...]

Google’s might drove the shock bid Microsoft wants to buy Yahoo in what analysts regard as a response to the seemingly unstoppable rise of Google. The emergence of Google has been staggering for observers and threatening for established players in every market it has entered. Microsoft’s response could level the playing field. “This consolidates the [...]

and the sentiment behind it cracks me the heck up! (photo by Gnal) A small but vocal minority on Flickr are already staging online protests at the prospect of a Microsoft takeover. Flickr is one of several popular Web 2.0 websites owned by Yahoo that loyal users fear will suffer under Microsoft ownership. As soon [...]

Oh my goodness, I just about had a panic attack just now. I’ve been installing things, mostly “widgets” on two WordPress blogs all day, tweaking things. And then I started getting a Google pop-up about a navigational key that I needed to procure from the GOOG themselves. Out of curiosity I went to see if [...]

  I couldn’t get what I needed for The Love You Make with the free host I was using so I moved from WordPress.COM to WordPress (the proper name is WordPressMU(sp) or the like (I may have it backwards) but no one seems to want to call it that) this and my maplelakeontario site which I lost completelyin [...]

Huntington Beach, California, Ruby’s Diner, Huntington Pier What are five words you really like? Vacation. Sleep. Private Island. Money. Of course I like those^^^ words for their meanings. Five words that I think are “fun” would be (to start) Flapdoodle WYSIWYG Kerfuffle Jabberwocky Woolgathering Related posts What I did today. (0) TypePad: Why are you [...]

  I imagine most of you are too busy to have noticed my absence the last few days. It really comes down to the fact that I’m stubborn as hell and won’t give up on something I want ‘till I’m thoroughly exhausted or every option known to humankind is. The “something” to which I refer [...]
