Blog Redesign…. kinda….

I don't recall how long I've been using my previous blog design but I think it was at least 5 or more years since I put up that design when I moved from Blogger to WordPress.   I recently went through the themes that were available on WordPress.com and decided to refresh the design a …

Wow 10 Years of Blogging

I just realized that I have been keeping this blog active for the last 10 years.   I'm pretty sure I don't have a lot of readers because I don't really blog about anything substational except my travels, games, and technology but I think its significant that I've kept it up this long.  I've definitely …

Post Number 1000!!

I started blogging in 2005 and after 9 years I've finally hit 1000 blog posts.  A lot has definitely changed in 9 years since I started my blog.  If I hit the time machine button, I can tell you that I was living in Tampa FL when I first started my blog and my posts …

Happy 2014 Interweb Denizens

As is customary during this time of year, I've decided to add my first post of the new year.  I've been doing this for almost 9 years now (since 2005 when I started on Blogger) and I'm still pretty sure no one reads anything that I post.  Thats ok, I'm mostly posting for me and …

Almost up to 1000 posts on my blog

I just published another post and this is what WordPress displayed on my Dashboard after it was published.  Looks like I need to post another 19 (this post is 981) in order to hit 1000.  The year is still young and I'm sure I'll find something to blog about sooner or later. I guess this …

*Dislike* for the WordPress Dashboard Update

I wouldn't say that I'm a very old WordPress user or even an old blogger.  I've only been using WordPress for a couple of years.... I think... I can't remember when I did the switch to WordPress from Blogger but when I joined WordPress the thing I liked was its overly complex Dashboard that was …

Chronicling my Internet Past

I've been on the Internet for quite a while and I've posted a lot of stuff over the years from status updates, check ins, and pictures. There are probably things I've posted that I've long since forgotten about but I'm trying to archive as much of my activity as possible recently just so I can …

Trying out ifttt

I'm trying out this new service that I discovered while browsing through my Twitter feed on Flipboard.  It's a service called ifttt, for those of you that have never heard of this before, it stands for "if this then that".  This is a neat little service that allows you to "put the web to work …

Testing the new WordPress for iPad

WordPress for iOS devices recently got an upgrade so that you can make more edits within the app rather then having to use HTML code. Personally I never knew HTML all that well so it was hard for me to make nice and compelling posts just using the app itself. Now there are ways to …

WordPress for iPhone lost my blog post

Yesterday morning I had a little time before I boarded my flight to MSP so I decided to fire up my WordPress app that I keep on my iPhone and iPod Touch. I don't blog a lot from either device because I normally like to use a full keyboard and add some photos and stuff …
