As part of the blog neglect/reinvigoration/navel-gazing, I have been thinking about what a techno-dinosaur I am to the young things today. I still run Movable Type, which all the cool kids used to use, but now they’ve all gone WordPress or Drupal or whatever. I don’t even run the latest version of Movable Type – [...]
Summer Self-Portrait Things have been quiet here on the blog, as any of you who are still reading may have noticed. Life has gone on, with parenting and pedicures, cuddly boys and cat pee, celebrations and re-calibrations. Over the last 6 months, while I’ve been avoiding posting, I’ve been thinking about my blog a lot. [...]
Thanks for entering my first-ever contest based on my first-ever Muxtape! I really enjoyed reading all of your entries…especially this one, which is especially funny if you’ve ever dissected a movie with Heidi’s mom. The question: What do the following songs all have in common? “Celebration” by Kool and the Gang “Smoke on the Water” [...]
UPDATE: We have a winner! Way to go, Aaron! I thought I’d try something new and check out this Muxtape thing the kids are all talking about these days. As a result, I was inspired to create my own Muxtape (which took we quite a while – but hey – now I know how to [...]
No, not by any overwhelming incident, or gift (although the gifts were amazingly generous and heartfelt, and we did have a Christmas Eve ER incident…more on that later), but speechless because of laryngitis. I felt it coming on and thought I had staved it off with a couple of days of rest and then an [...]
I’ve been tweaking the blog some more. I’m loving learning more about CSS and Movable Type. Using the awesome resources of a rockin’ website, I moved my “About” page to its own template within my blog – without having to make it an entry (and added more hyperlinks to it). Very, very cool! I may [...]
I did more CSS nerding tonight! Yes, instead of mopping the kitchen floor or folding the laundry, I learned how to make my own custom “blockquote” style! (more…)
How did Dave and I spend our Friday night? Making rss buttons, comments feeds, and favicons. Yes, we’ve been married 14 years. Yes, we are nerds. (I have to admit, all his nerdy help tonight makes him waaaay attractive to me. That, and the fact that he put both kids to bed…) So, check it [...]
I’m having Lap-Band surgery on Monday, April 30th. I have a blog about it, called A Little Squeeze. I haven’t really figured out what I’m doing having 2 blogs. On one hand, I have read many WLS (weight loss surgery) blogs and they have helped me greatly in my personal decision about whether to have [...]
I’m working on writing more and developing my voice. I’ve also been writing a lot about my faith in Jesus and about my passions. Lydia from Emerging Women has started a blog for those writing about faith to share and solicit feedback. It’s called, straightforwardly enough, Writing About Faith. I put a link up there [...]
