Selling Out

You may have noticed a few extra boxes over on the right for Sponsored Links and an offer to buy advertising. It's true: a year after we thought about it, we're sellouts. Don't worry: I don't feel any particular obligation to appease advertisers and the money is just a way for us to enjoy a […]

Upgrading to WordPress 2.5 and Switching E-mail Services

I'm ashamed to admit that our website is powered by really ancient software. WordPress 2.1.3 was released way back when we did our server move about a year ago and it has kept our site chugging along ever since. Recently, WordPress 2.5 was released along with some news: if you don't upgrade, Technorati may […]

For Frank (With Apologies to Shauna)

So I got tagged for an Internet meme, and the only thing I can think of is something my wife has said before:
Thing #Only:

I don't do these things.

Pictures from Italy, Round 2: Florence

The pictures from Florence are now up! I promise I'll add captions as time and motivation permit. In the meantime, check out the new gallery.

Pictures from Italy, Round 1: Venice

Yes, yes. I know we've been remiss in sharing tales of foreign lands and awesome foods. I've been working on the trip log since we got back (when time presents itself) and I promise to have it done by New Year's. In the meantime, enjoy a new photo album of our pictures from Venice.

On a side note, I have to say that I'm really impressed with this […]

I Want Your Vote

Betcha didn't know I was even running for something, huh? Bradley Ross, the guy who runs the Bloghive, has decided to form an advisory board to help steer it and provide some input on operations. I accepted a nomination to be considered and as of today, the voting has started.
I think I'd add a lot […]

Hiatus (Or, we’ll be in Italy)

Shauna and I leave for Washington, DC tonight to visit her brother Bill, and then we're off to Italy! We'll be cut off from cell phone access and I don't fathom that there will be a lot of WiFi, so consider us as incommunicado until we get back on the 17th.
Ciao, everybody. 

What happened this morning when I tried to upgrade the server?


A Year of Blogging

As of August 9th, this little blog has been going for a year. Since then, we've built up from nothing to over 1500 unique visitors dropping by over 4200 times a month, moved from a dinky secondhand server on our cable modem to a real hosting provider and posted 316 times (including this one) amassing […]
