I have found a new tool for blogging and will have to see what it does and kick the tires a bit. I found it through Sharp Reader, which I use to read through some RSS feeds once in a while. (RSS feeds are collections of links to stories, blogs, etc). That is how I get the unusual content that I do so many times. This will allows you to blog all your stuff off line (say on a laptop, or just you want to think about it before posting it, and maybe change it).
The program is called w.bloggar and has some WYSIWYG type functions to it so it looks like it would make some things that I do by hand easier. It also allows you to edit templates (the way your blog looks). Give it a try. (OH just found the spell checker... 2 more points!)

New twist. Hey man, stop the chase, meanwhile I will keep driving. Got to be a case of the gene pool is definitely cleaning itself.

::: XPLANA.COM ::: Exploring how we can learn and teach with technology: "How to Measure Time for Online Activities and Courses"
Being an online student, I found this article quite interesting and explains why I feel at a loss in on line classes many times. I think it should be required reading for all on-line instructors. and since I have been one, I know to some degree what I am saying.

New Scientist:

"A computer program that hijacks the personal computers of ordinary home users in order to pass on pornographic web pages has been discovered by US researchers."

May be time to update the antivirus software, but from what I have read it may not do any good. Most do not have the code to study it yet. Not on a high percentage of machines, but it is on a lot of AOL machines (yuck yuck).

Yahoo! News - Greenspan Says Fed Could Cut Rates Again

I actually watched this on CSPAN2 and understood what he was talking about. Of course I just finished a summer class in Macroeconomics also. The article is kinda whitewashing. Many democrats verbally atacked Mr. Greenspan, and many Rebulicans tried to gloss over the problems. Oh Well. This is where our economy is going.

ZoolLinux Project
Interesting tool. Linux that will boot off a floppy that will allow you to muck around on the HD of a system (not necessarily Linux [read windows]) and maybe fix a down system. Will have to look at it and explore it a little bit more.

My daughter Annie asked me what I was doing the other day, she is 6 going on 16 so she is an exploring girl. I told her I was bloging, and she asked what it meant to blog. Well I told her it is writing stuff for other people to read about. What do you write about? Well I write about stuff that interest me? Like what, she asked, you mean me? Well, yes, people and events that I have an interest in.
So I looked back t my BLOG. It is long on news stories that interest me and the rants that I make about them, and not so long about what goes on in my life.

Annie is my only girl of 4 children that are blood to me (5 if you include CJ my adopted son). People thought that she would wrap me around her finger, but guess what. Though she is close to my heart, she is disciplined. We enjoy a lot of things. But to tell you the truth... she has a crown that I want and I have a crown she wants.

You see we play a lot of games together since I work nights and she and I have a lot of daytime to play games. The scoreboard as it stands now.
UNO © Crown - Dad
Chinese Checkers - Annie

She wants the Uno © crown back from me but I am not giving it up without a fight.

BTW, you know how hard it is to play 3 way Chinese Checkers with a 6 year old girl bent on beating you and a 5 year old boy (Israel) who does not understand the object of the game and moves his pieces randomly? Especially when you need to get your pieces in his slot! Sigh......

Love ya kids!
