I’m starting to get a bunch of spam comments on my blog. Random people bots are trolling my site and submitting lame comments with links off to spamville and phishland. Akismet is supposed to ward off these spamming troll-bots. But, apparently, it’s not 100% foolproof. If these spam comments don’t stop soon, I’m gonna have to look at other alternatives.
Speaking of other alternatives, we all have our preferences for our favorite browser. Mine happens to be Opera. People typically use Internet Explorer. And techies seem to love Firefox or Safari (macs). But, I noticed that Firefox is jacking up my WordPress Theme. What the…!?!
Ok. I think I have finally tweaked the site well enough to start blogging on a more regular basis. So, with that in mind, you’ll want to update your subscription links. Here’s the new Feedburner link for your RSS readers.
Most of you know that around Christmas last year I purchased a barely used 2005 Dodge Magnum. I love this car. It’s such a smooth ride, has tons of room inside, and looks very gangster. The only changes I want to do to the car are maybe add a bit more tint to the front windows and possibly change out to a better radio receiver.
But, in the 8 months that I’ve owned the car, I’ve noticed one very important trait about my new vehicle. It is an animal killer! Literally. Not counting small insects, I am positive that I’ve mamed, wounded, and killed more animals driving this car moreso than anyone other car I’ve driven. I’m not sure why this is. Is it that this car is sneaky? Is the engine quieter than other cars? Does the engine hum in a frequency that attracts animals – kinda like a dog whistle? There has to be something to this.
Be patient, and listen to this guy. A great message for the American public of why we fight for and defend freedom. This is an amazing video from a well spoken Marine. I’d have this guy in my corner any day. Here’s the text of his prose…
Will Smith tells the kids at a Nickelodian Kid Awards show what the key to life is. He says it’s Running and Reading. I think he may be right. Give a listen.
A few weeks ago Lifehacker had a user photo contest for the coolest workspace. I meant to submit my photo, but the deadline came and went. But, who can really compete with this view? Sitting in my bay window, looking out onto the lush hardwood trees. This view really looks cool in the fall and in the winter after a snow/ice event.
I read Om Malik’s blog pretty frequently. For those of you who don’t who Om is, he is a writer for Business 2.0 magazine (and I think Wired too). But, he’s a good technology junkie and so am I, so I like reading his blog. The other day, he mentioned he was out in SLC and visited the team from Dooce.com. So, I checked it out, and found this funny. Apparently Dooce.com is a highly popular blog kept by a new mother and wife. She left the hussle of California, moved back to Utah to be close to family, and the end result is her blog.
I checked out her writings, and this one if funny. The results of a stressful day. How to self medicate with legal substances. Thought my Mormon acquaintences would appreciate.
**WARNING** The writer tends to use flowerly languange. (which lends to my mormon-release theory)
No updates I haven’t blogged here in a very long time, and I’m sorry. Twitter and Facebook now are my two discharge points for daily thoughts. I will blog big events and thoughts here on a more seldom basis.Comments Off
1 Tim 6:17-19 17Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.Comments Off
Real estate marketing I recently met Mary McKnight via Twitter. She seems like a cool professional with a heart for real estate marketing. Great minds think alike! ;) I’m looking forward to following her tweets @REBlogGirl.Comments Off
