Tom Simpson has tagged me as a part of the “Why do I blog?” meme that is circulating in the blogosphere. Here’s my list. I want to share the things I discover online with others. I enjoy experimenting with my ability to put things on the web. I learn by playing with the technology I [...]
No, this isn’t a religious post; the title just seemed appropriate to the day on which I’m making it. I’m referring to my own resurrection from not posting here recently. I didn’t die, and I wasn’t buried. I was just off exploring various things on the net and have been a bit remiss in posting [...]
As I indicated I was going to do, I didn’t turn on my computer at all on Saturday the 24th, and by so doing I observed Shutdown Day 2007. In general, I’d have to say that the day was very pleasant, quite productive and surprisingly easy to do. Some of you who commented on my [...]
Just a quick post near midnight on the 23rd to say, I’ll see you on the other side of Shutdown Day 2007. Be back on the 25th. Have fun while I’m away.
My blog has always been just a place for me to test whether I could put things on the Internet and a way for me to comment on things I find interesting as I surf and experiment with them. Although I’ve been blogging now for about 5 years, I’ve never added advertising to this blog [...]
Today at 9:30 AM I turned off the computer with the intent of leaving it off for two hours. Actually, however, I left it off for 2 and a half hours. It wasn’t so bad. I didn’t get the shakes or suffer severe anxiety. I’m sure that I’ll be able to manage the 24 hour [...]
Details of this online experiment can be found at this site. It’s simple actually. The challenge is to go for one day without turning on your computer, and it’s planned for March 24th. A blogger who calls herself Moonair suggest 7 ways to prepare for it in this post which is pretty funny. Actually I [...]
Tonight I attended a gathering of a number of bloggers from here in Knoxville and the surrounding area at Calhoun’s on Kingston Pike. Glenn Reynolds was kind enough to post links to the blogs of those in attendance. The affair was surprisingly well-attended as we overran the table set aside for the fifteen that the [...]
This morning both of my sites, this one and The Fun Addicts site, hosted at Dreamhost have been up and down intermittently. Obviously this blog is up right now. Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to make this post and you wouldn’t be able to read it. So if you attempt to view the site or [...]
As you can see, I’ve changed the theme (a.k.a. template) again. This time it was sort of out of necessity. Today I upgraded my site to WordPress version 2.1 and thought I had everything working properly, but tonight when I visited Mike at work and saw this blog in Internet Explorer 6, I was horrified.
