Back in the old hometown for a bit

Just thought I would let you guys know that I FINALLY got some time off from work so I am taking the entire Christmas week off to e with family and to get the hell out of St. Louis for once! I have been relaxing for several days now and I have even found time to go to 3 MSU Bears games!!!!! :D

Today, I am packing to head to Kansas City for our usual family tradition so keep me in your thoughts as I travel. The roads look like they are going to suck. :/

Trying out something new

I have been reading a lot on the Interwebz about a site called Intense Debate that allows you to “outsource” your blog comments in case of dis tater. Basically, if something were to happen to my blog my comments would be safe on Intense Debate’s servers so I could recover them easily, also the site allows you to have threaded comments to better follow what is happening in a discussion and whatnot.

The also support Twitter, OpenID, and many other features that you can read about here. Please test things out and let me know if something is broken.

Playing with Habari

Recently I’ve become interested with Habari and I will be experimenting with it over at my Habari Testbed in order to determine if this is a platform that I might want to move to in the future as Wordpress is getting bloated and I think it may be time to move on. I will let you know ho tings go.

This was quite a fire!
