Acknowledging a few people

I have some comments related to people and blogs.

I would like to welcome and acknowledge two recent readers. First is Aden. We attended the same high school. He has a blog reviewing the movies, music, and books he comes across. Aden has made many comments on posts, even if the posts are well beyond the homepage.

Next there is James. We lived on the same floors freshman and sophomore years of college, were in the same political club, and wrote/edited/managed/promoted/traveled the state and country for/distributed the California Patriot magazine. James's blog covers working for a Korean accounting company and bringing the redemptive power of Jesus into people's lives. At one point there were rumors we were brothers because of some similarities in appearance.

Lastly, I am rolling out a blogroll. Also on it are other frequent readers and commentators (since commenters is not a recognized word). Their 10 second introductions:
  • Amanda is attending law school in the District of Columbia. We met in college and worked together in a lot of things at church. Between leading Seekers Bible study for 5 semesters, being on the Student Ministry Team for a year, and a bunch of other things we spent a ridiculous amount of time working together. The vast majority of the time was fun.

  • Linda lives in San Francisco and is a fan of fashion. We lived on the same floor freshman year and she spends a lot of time with my Associate. Linda has a degree in English and is a people person.
Time for an aside. I am mystified why Blogger and Chrome have different spell check dictionaries. For example, blogroll is correct in Chrome, but Blogger thinks it is misspelled. They are both Google products, it would be logical they have the same parameters for spelling. It would also make sense both of them are as good at guessing my intended spellings as Google's search engine. Sometimes logic is lacking.

  1. I don't like the Blogger interface. I feel that it's somewhat clumsy. C'mon, Google, we expect more out of you!

  2. You could try a Wordpress blog and see what that interface is like. I used Wordpress for over two years and I liked it a lot. The code for adding pictures is much simpler and it tracks links to your blog automatically.

    My only complaint was once after the blog software was updated, it blocked all logins. A once thriving and well read blog died ;(
