Blogger to WordPress

By Adam | Published: May 22, 2009
I’ve finally made the leap from Blogger to WordPress, and while the migration was relatively easy, I’m still using an unmodified, canned template. I’ll be doing some construction & remodelling (how web 1.0 is that!) soon, but will be more frequently posting now that the migration is complete.

My favourite bit, however is where Kit Eaton, the author, describes why the crippling of the phone so that it will only work on a WiFi (and not the 3G data connection) is so backwards. Kit derides the way mobile providers continue to believe that… [...]

By Adam | Published: January 20, 2009
Today, much history was made. Of course, I’m speaking of the induction of a new President of the United States; and the first time a black man has been elected to the highest office in that country. But more than that, there were a few other things that happened. People around the planet watched the [...]

By Adam | Published: January 13, 2009
