Road Trip! Crash Test Goofy says goodbye to his pal MooPunk before leaving for two weeks on the road. CTG will not be driving on this trip because his license was suspended long ago, because frankly his record was shockingly bad. Strangely, no one was ever hurt. Crash Test Goofy will try to send photos of himself from the road, possibly with latitude and longitude information and short, snappy updates. Okay, that was interesting. My first attempt at getting the moblog to work, and it sent to the main entry. I thought when I set it up that it would…

And finally, because I was fooling around with Elements just now, here’s the diaper cake that my niece and sister took to a baby shower a few weeks ago when we were visiting in March. I’m sorry, I’m just really glad to be childfree when I consider that people actually spend time and creativity and thinking up gifts like this… and giving them. I mean, really. Ewww. On one level, it’s really cute and quite pretty, and and a clever way to give a practical gift. On another, let’s all dress up the poop and pretend it doesn’t stink. It’s…

Hey, it’s Last Thursday, let’s go to the Gallery Opening! When I lived in Seattle, First Thursdays of the month were the night people went downtown and went to the art galleries, which were open late and full of crowds looking at the latest works of art, photographs, and blown glass. The artists would be standing there, ready to chat with anyone who wandered up, with a plastic glass of wine in hand. The gallery openings were almost always free and often very crowded, and they were great ways to get out and about for very little money. It was…

We’ve had a spell of very windy weather, and it looks like there finally might be a storm coming. For 3 days now, we’ve had high, warm winds blowing steadily from the West. Until yesterday the skies were clear, but today it’s steadily gotten greyer, and the clouds are starting to pile up on one another and look like something’s about to happen. We haven’t had much rain, so I haven’t put out the other two rain barrels; I need to get some blocks to raise them up abot a foot or so, and also they would just fly away,…

Oh, crap, here we go. I’ve tinkered with my own gallery, and have yet to upload many pictures, but I can at least do it easily enough. Now I’d like to have the ability to do a little moblogging from the road, if possible. Ideally, send images to the sidewall area that’s currently occupied by several static images. It’d be nice to have them change in random order, with new images added via email. gme.jp: How to make a moblog sidebar in MovableType Mfop2 etc. Alternatively, there’s a way to moblog to Gallery, or integrate Gallery within MT rather than…

I’m revisiting a topic from a few weeks back that I never successfully resolved. I didn’t previously see The Designspace: A couple of ways to post code in MoveableType before.

I’ve been reading a trip blog calledDucks on the Road since the very beginning. I ran across it in a list of newly-created blogs, and subscribed via Bloglines because it looked interesting. For one thing, they were from Oregon, and we Ducks are always interested in other Ducks for some reason – maybe the trauma of having a cartoon character college mascot makes us feel the need to support each other. The Ducks on the Road folks have driven around visiting family and friends; it’s been a relaxing trip. Today they’re in Moab, Utah – on the return leg of…

In the latest development in what has become a chaotic inaugural month, Air America Radio is losing two of its top executives, including the network’s co-founder. Mark Walsh, the former AOL executive and Democratic National Committee operative who announced the network’s launch to much fanfare five months ago, said Monday that he has stepped down as chief executive officer. Separately, the network confirmed that Dave Logan, Air America’s vice president for operations and programming, has been replaced. I’d describe myself as a loyal Air America listener. I try to listen to some of it daily, because I’m in late-stage early…
