WordPress on Android

I am posting this from my amazing HTC Evo using the latest WordPress app and I have to admit.. this is awesome.

Blogging has declined in recent years, due to the rise of twitter and Facebook, but I still regularly read blogs. Blogs allow commentary and in-depth information to be posted quickly, the way few other things can.

I am not going to promise to blog daily, but I would like to get into more.

Here’s to the future!

I’m getting married!

http://wordle.net/ is a great way to visualize text. It works just like tag clouds do, showing words that are used more frequently in a larger font. Here is what Sarah Palin’s looked like from the Republican Nomination speech

I’ve been working some long days lately… (I haven’t been off work before 10pm for weeks. 2am is the new 5pm) Sometimes people wonder what could possibly be difficult about an IT person’s job. “How could working on computers be stressful?”

Well, the simple answer is…. Working with computers ISN’T stressful. Working with LIVE PEOPLE on those computers is…

A real help ticket:

Hence my favorite word—mouthbreather.

Hulu Releases PBS Programming: Fans go Wild

Bart — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:33:40 +0000

Hulu is a video-streaming site. You can’t really compare it to YouTube, because it’s commercially-driven to provide TV/Movie/Documentary clips and shows. It’s becoming quite the popular site, and I had to make sure the students in the dorms couldn’t get to it, but…. For those of you on the “outside”….

As part of Hulu’s “Days of Summer” promotion where they release something new every day to keep people coming back…. They released a lot of PBS programming, including Carrier (a show about a USS Nimitz carrier ship), a design show, and three science shows which I’m going to have to watch… Nova (an example clip is embedded below), Scientific American, and Wired Science.

Looking forward to learning some stuff. If you hear me rattling of scientific terms, you’ll know why..

I’m signed up to download this great new browser, and I’ve been using the Release Candidates since they were released, and it’s the best browser out there, hands down. So speedy and so many features, and remarkably easy to use
