Testing BlogJet
Harry picked up on my not-so-subtle Blogger frustration and recommended BlogJet – a desktop blog client. Admittedly, I’ve done zero research, but I’ve learned that even a mention from Harry makes software worth checking out, so I am.
I’m hoping this will help me address Blogger’s voracious appetite for eating posts, but I’m also expecting it will greatly […]

Things I Love About Blogger… NOT!
Blogger has had a downright annoying tendency to suck witty posts-in-progress off my screen and into the bit bucket lately. Just wrote a great one (hey, they’re all great, aren’t they!), went to post it, got a nonspecific posting error and *poof*. Gone, just like that. Second time today. You’d think […]

Tanya is Famous!
Tanya, a co-worker of Harry and Norman, is famous! Tom Peters wrote about Wabi-Sabi on his blog a few days ago. You can check it out here… Wabi-Sabi is Tanya’s Blog!

Countdown to Roofdom - Not Soon Enough…
Probably not a big deal for those of you with roofs, but I still don’t really have one. The Army Corps. of Engineers blue tarp roof is tattered in a few places - thankfully all over the garage, where I guess it doesn’t matter much if the damned drywall ceiling gets ruined a bit more.

Moss Grows on blahgRolling Stone…
Damn, I’m monitoring over 100 RSS feeds now thanks to NewsGator - I’ll bet some of you monitor hundreds or even thousands. Great source of info, but I’d better start organizing them into categories or I’ll never get them all read as the number continues to grow.

Some Folks Just Get It…
Here’s a brief e-mail exchange with someone I’ve never met, and had no idea existed before today. Extends my comments below on evangelism and getting a kick out of offering ideas and seeing them implemented in the real world:
