A Slight Diversion and a New Blog
I recently created another blog specific to my interest in Photography. While I haven’t exactly been burning up the Internet with posts on this one, I think I’m about to make some changes. Part of the reason I’ve not written here quite so often is my frustration with Movable Type – just signing in pisses me off. The new blog is under Word Press and I’m thinking it’s time to change everything to that platform. While MT is fine for corporate accounts & Britney Spears, who can hire developers to tinker around with it, it’s just a giant pain in the ass for a guy like me who only wants a decent configuration tool so he can get to the business of writing. MT’s online configuration tool is laughable. Until I can...
The Path to Zion
I’m taking a moment to brag. It’s not a huge thing, but this photo was selected as the Image of the Week at the NAPP Member Portfolio site. At least it was enough to make me smile. http://www.photoshopuser.com/members/portfolios/
Dumb Dogs
I’m not sure which of my three dogs is the dumbest. Today it’s the little one, Max. A few months ago he seemed to be at death’s door and could barely move. The vet wanted to operate on him, but his blood test revealed a liver problem. We figured he’d be dead in a month. I started giving him some wet food as a treat in the morning, and he recovered. It’s not like he was starving, he always ate his food the same as the other two dogs. It’s just that this food seems to excite him. What dog doesn’t like wet food over dry? Keep in mind this dog is about 17 years old, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if he were ready to pass away. He’s old, can’t see for cataracts, has cysts all around his body, and generally...
Obligatory New Year Post
I’m going through my Google Reader, checking out my subscribed blogs, and it’s no surprise that most of them are wishing their readers to have a happy new year. It’s more than a wish, it’s almost a command. “Happy New Year” just shouts out at you, doesn’t it? People said the same thing a year ago, and look how that turned out. I could join and wish you a happy new year, but I wonder if that carries any legal obligation. Suppose you don’t have a happy new year at all. Can you sue me? Have I become responsible for your happiness during the year? As much as I may want you all to have a happy new year, I’m afraid I don’t have enough power to ensure that it actually happens. It’s one of those...
