The little things.

Yeah, so this stuff might not be of much consequence to you, but I just registered a new domain:
http://www.coverthisphotography.com/
Which is a pretty big deal for me. :-D

I also just launched the new Miss Maine Scholarship Pageant Forums here, and I just got all this seasons episodes of House, so I will be catching up on that over the next few nights. So, yeah… Geek stuff, I know, but it’s my life.

I was right.

So it’s official, that college search site I was talking about in my last post actually pools all posts mentioning covered colleges and places them on their site. Very Web 2.0, but I have this feeling I will be the first to render this service utterly useless, by making my every poor-thought on Susquehanna heard, on the very website hoping to sell it… Fun. “Let the games begin” they say…

Free dance pads.

I think I mentioned I have been trying to get Step Mania up and running here for a few days in my last blog, and if I didn’t, now you know. Anyway, turns out that Kraft (the cheese people) are giving away free USB dance pads, for the price of shipping ($6.00).

The offer only lasts until July 31st, so get them while the gettin’s good! Also, a little modification is needed to get them to work in Step Mania, but for this price, who’s complaining?

Pray for those who have died too young…

A mutual friend of Jon, Justin and Mine, Garrett, got into a fatal car crash past Friday… At 22 years old… Well before his time. There will be a funeral sometime this week, I will check back in when I find out. I really don’t know what else to say…

I have been going back in time, tagging all my posts for technorati. I made it as far as A little late, and now I have got to go to the Portland Pirates game. GAH.

Update

I have just updated my review of embedded media solutions of blogs. Now it includes the formidable “multi-headed hydra of” iMeem. Check it out.

del.icio.us

I’ve been del.icio.us…ed… I recently signed up for a MyBlogLog account, and I never knew how helpful it would be. It just informed me that I got my first del.icio.us bookmark yesterday, by Dan Kantor. I do not know Dan, but clicking around leads me to believe he has something to do with the Streampad Widget, which I reviewed here. Rock on.

What the Hell!?

The Technorati Ranking System confuses the hell out of me. Can anyone tell me why, when I only had ONE link from ONE blog, I was ranked 1,919,393rd, yet when I am now listed as having FOUR links from TWO blogs (when I really only have 3 links from 2 blogs) I am listed 1,932,777th?! Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t that lower? (and yes, they are all inside the sample period to determine rank)

A thought on blogging…

I was reading up on the Technorati Ranking system this morning when I came across this interesting post and its accompaniment over at docsaab. And it got me thinking, why do we blog?

Maven Winery, New Zealand

By pure chance I have had the pleasure of meeting a one Bethlene Jobin, from New Zealand. No real significance, no… But she does work as the Marketing & Export Executive for this fantastic winery in said country, and I think you owe it to yourself to check it out. Introducing…
