You Don’t Get…

The link below says it all. Just because you ask doesn't mean you'll get what you want, but you definitely won't get it by staying silent. So do remember to ask for things.

Do let people know that you want something. It could be a promotion, a vacation, more money or whatever. If somebody doesn’t know what you want how can they give it to you?

First Post as a Blogger Blog

I am in the process of moving my web sites from WordPress over to Blogger. This is the ffirst post written in Blogger. If nothing else using Blogger will save money as I will not have to pay in order to have a custom style sheet or a custom domain name.

In terms of features both Blogger and WordPress seem fairly equal - though WordPress may be better for heavy duty bloggers. Blogger does allow, however, the inclusion of more things such as inline frames ao that in the end Blogger may win because of its flexibility.

First Post from iPad

Here is my first post from my new iPad. I have to edit in HTML mode. Blogger is the same way.

At Diana's apartment. MichaelD just sabred his first bottle of Veuve Cliquot. Newb shot Champagne everywhere. We forgive him.

At the SFMOMO Modernism show with cousin Diana. The silk hats are here in droves. And the art is simply the cat's pajamas.
