WP 2010 in review
The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health: The Blog-Health-o-Meter™ reads This blog is on fire!. Crunchy numbers A Boeing 747-400 passenger jet can hold 416 passengers. This blog was viewed about 4,000 times in 2010. That’s about … Continue reading
Short Shrift
Well WP ate the entire post I just wrote for no apparent reason and I’m not going to spend another twenty minutes writing up. Weird. Just a reminder for me to write posts in a word processor first and then put them on the blog. Too bad. I thought it was a rather nice, long … Continue reading
Cinco de Mayo
First off, Cinco de Mayo! For those unaware, Cinco de Mayo celebrates the Mexican victory over France at the Battle of Puebla. It’s kind of ironic that so many outside of Mexico celebrate the holiday even if some only do so as homage to Hispanic culture when the holiday is more a regional event in … Continue reading

Theme change
Got bored with the old theme for the blog, so changed to this one. Once my hand is better I’ll likely come up with my own unique header image. This one is pretty good, but obviously generic. I’ll have to finish a header for a biz partner first. Sucks having the dominant hand, in essence, … Continue reading
Missing Posts?
Hmm. I seem to missing my posts about the Olympics. I’m going to need to check what’s going on since none of the posts are private nor mention any spoilers for Americans on what’s going on there nor do they contain anything even remotely pro- or anti-China. Maybe it’s Scribefire messing up, but it seems … Continue reading
