Back to using Windows Live Writer

I have installed the latest version of Microsoft’s Windows Live Writer. Of all the blogging tools I have tried, I continue to find this tool to be the easiest and most versatile. Maybe it is because I have grown accustomed to using Microsoft tools.

Free

I plan on reading the book Free by Chris Anderson. Anyone can read along for themselves below. There is an intersting economy being built around 'free'


FREE (full book) by Chris Anderson

One Year (and a few months later)...

...I finally throw something out here on the blog. I've just turned over another birthday and am now fully into my forties. Anyway, I have been building up all kinds of intersting links and articles and I have even starting reading. I've been reading books printed on paper. And I have gotten through a few pretty good ones after warming up on a few Dr Seuss classics :-) I've recieved a few more as recent Father's Day and Birthday gifts.

Blogging from inside FireFox - ScribeFire

In an effort to become more fluid and productive wit this blog I am trying a few new tools to make creating the content and getting it out to the blog easier. I came across ScribeFire, an extension for FireFox and am using it to post this entry.

Music, Music, Music

I have been meaning to get a list of music out on this blog for a long time. Heck, based on my last post (July 2007) I've been procrastinating for three quarters of a year. Well I am going to try and change that. I have recently been updating my music library and improving my stereo setup at home. So I expect I will have a bit more to talk about on the music front.

In the meantime, here is a link to my CD collection (PDF File) as of July 2007. I actually had everything ready to post back then, just never did it. I'll be working up to Memorial day to update the document and post an updated version.

40 from 40

Forty songs from Forty years...

As promised I have created download files containing the list of songs, albums and artists from 1967 to 2007. Using this list as a guide I intend to write about each song and year. I hope that many of you will follow along, comment about the entries, or add to the stories.

I am using the online storage site Box.net to host the files. It is a free service and certainly worth checking out.

The available files are listed below and require Adobe Acrobat reader for viewing:

Forty from Forty - The full list of selected music from 1967 to 2007

Fifteen from Forty - Fifteen favorites from the list of forty

Fifteen from Forty CD Cover and CD Insert

Enjoy.

Google: Hello Council Bluffs!

From the Googlfied Blog... Welcome to Iowa.

Google recently put up a “Google Council Bluffs Data Center” site to let the Council Bluffs residents know more about the $450 million data center Google is going to build there…

We anticipate opening the Council Bluffs data center in Spring 2009. Eventually, we plan to employ approximately 200 people, ranging from technology assistants to experienced data center managers. We’re confident this $450 million investment will be good for Council Bluffs, Google and our Internet users.

The construction of this data center is in process on the 55 acres of land near the Lake Manawa.

By the way, the Google guy in the video, Paul Froutan, is Google’s Director of Hardware Operations.
