The Skinny on Type Pad

Today is the last day of the 10% off for life Launching sale of TypePad. My advice is to sign up today for the one month free trial which gets you in on the final day, and kick it around for a few weeks. If you dont like it, cancel. I find Typepad works better…

Blogaholic

Dang! Now i REALLY have to go to bed. Just reading all the blogs coming up by Christians, recognizing all the people and writers and realizing that: 1. It really is a small world 2. This new blog is really narrow minded and i might be off to a bad start – i look like…

Typepad: I saw my name!

I saw my name pop up on the “Recently Updated” list of Typepad bloggers. Thats cool! That used to happen to me a lot in the early days of Blogger – back in 2001, when there wasn’t a gizillion Blogspot Bloggers all posting at the same time. BTW – I jumped on the Blogger.com site…

Proverbs translated in our bedroom

The Scribe in our basement is now the Scribe in our bedroom. Space at our place is scarce and Sasa Flek has moved his desk and office into our bedroom for the time being. No problem – He arrives for work at 8am and leaves at 5pm. No . . . he is not there…

Amazon knows I am skinny

I went head to head with Amazon last night. I began a new account, in order to start a new wishlist. OK. The truth is i forgot my password and my wishlist was soooo old that i cant even remember starting it. So I went to Amazon fresh and started again. And without even asking…

Ungoogle is the Antichrist

The people at Ungoogle made it on to my desktop as my default homepage. Thats impressive. While i figure out how they did it, i will just leave it there. Ungoogle is the other search engine, representing all the lesser engines (altavista, etc). If Google is the God-figure of the internet (and I think it…
