Everyone is blogging now. . .

except the women. Blogging is kind of like scrapbooking, I guess. You write some interesting text and put in some cute pictures. Except there are no borders to cut and you don't need a special tote or paper cutter. Deckling scissors are definitely out. Today I was shoveling a few inches of snow off my driveway and my neighbors. It took me about an hour. During my time shoveling I was thinking about our blogs. The family blogs, I mean. A few things occurred to me. In no particular order, here they are, in typical KurtSchroederstreamofconsciousness fashion.

• Jim is really doing a nice job on his blog, and it will be nice to see if he writes some stuff about his work. I started a blog for my work, http://wrksplf.blogspot.com, but I haven't posted very many entries yet. One of my goals for IBM this year is to have the different groups in the support center start their own blogs. I don't know what hosting service we will eventually choose.
• It would be funny to create a blog for the boys where they could post what happens to them, or modify my blogger templates to make different entries look like they were posted by different people. I don't know how much work that would be.
• I have been unable to spend the time to make my NetFlix queue show up properly in my blog so I'm just going to change the link from a link to my current NetFlix queue to a simple link to Netflix itself. It's absurd to think people would even care. The movies I do enjoy I can just write a blog entry about, like I did with Grave of the Fireflies.
• It would be nice if Annika had a blog where she could post her pictures, but I think that's overkill. I can just post them here.
• I'm going to start making more blog entries where I just e-mail a message to blogger.com and it automatically creates a post for me. I can get in more blog entries that way and it will take less time. That's a highly overrated function of this blog service--the fact that you don't have to login to create a post.
• I don't see why Lonsky's would use Blogger when they have their own server where they could host any data that they wanted. It would make more sense for them to just install a blogging application on Nick's computer.
• I used the check spelling option on this post, and it flagged the following words as unknown: blogs, blogging, Blogging, shoveling, blog, blogger, and Blogger. The fact that the Blogger spell checker didn't know these words is simply asinine. It knew the word asinine, though.
  

Well, that's it for now. Because Annika took a nap today, we all watched Wallace and Grommit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit tonight. It was pretty good, so maybe that will become a favorite just like the Heffalump movie.
