Going Mobile

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

I just installed the WordPress app on my Droid. I can now blog from anywhere. But...will I? For short posts (like this one), I can see the advantage. For long posts, I am not so sure yet. We shall see.

Why Are You Following Me?!?

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

I have yet to get on the Twitter bandwagon because I don't quite get it. However, the nice thing about Twitter is that a user's tweets are available via an RSS feed, so you don't even have to be a user to "follow" someone. I think officially following someone on ...

Quote of the Day

Monday, November 10th, 2008

I've mentioned in the past that I think Scott Adams is very funny.  This quote from his blog entry for today just cracked me up: It's expensive to travel anywhere, but on the other hand, the new season of 24 is almost here. I don't need to go to faraway places ...

Better Off Who?

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

Apparently, there's going to be a comedy on ABC called Better Off Ted debuting midseason. I know that the name of my blog is a play on the phrase better off dead and I don't have any ownership of that, but I thought the name of my blog was clever and ...

My Friends Get Me

Wednesday, April 16th, 2008

A friend of mine sent me this picture after filling up his car at the gas station. Can anyone guess why? Hint: The rising gas prices doesn't have much to do with it.

The Blog that Would Write Itself

Friday, November 9th, 2007

I have a friend whose in-laws have recently moved in with him. If that isn't a good enough reason to start a blog, I don't know what is. His in-laws are living with him!! Can you imagine the possibilities? He has put "starting a blog" on his list of things ...

Bye, Bye Blogger…Hello, WordPress

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

I have completed my transition to WordPress from Blogger. As much as I respect Google and everything they do, I don't think Blogger (which Google owns) is nearly as feature-filled and easy to work with as WordPress. Probably the most difficult thing for me in making the transition was to find ...

My Yahoo! RSS Frustrations

Monday, March 13th, 2006

I haven't been blogging much lately. I used to really enjoy typing out the little funny stories (funny to me, at least), but for some reason, it hasn't been as fun lately. I think it started when Yahoo! stopped refreshing my RSS feed. I subscribe to my ...

RSS Problems

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

I honestly don't think that anyone but me (and maybe some automated content aggregator bots) subscribe to my RSS feed.  I added the feed for this blog to My Yahoo! page just so that I can make sure that it is always up to date.  Unfortunately, even though I've been ...

My Apologies

Wednesday, August 24th, 2005

I would like to apologize to my loyal audience, who I'm sure still numbers in the low single digits. I haven't posted in awhile. I've been on vacation and very busy at home and at work. I feel like I have lots of stories to tell, so I hope I ...
