Honest Abe was inaugurated as the sixteenth President on this day in history. “So, how does time off from work affect the recently laid-off,” you ask?
Trivia. Lots and lots of trivia. This fills in the time between applying for jobs, updating a post, reading e-mail, scanning news and general screen-staring.
I like to think of the looking up of trivial information as a palate cleanser for the brain.
Anyhow, tall hats off to you Mr. 16th President.
I spent 10% of yesterday looking for a job online and 90% in web design bliss. Me, a blank document, a keyboard and a screen. Hmm, sounds like a new geek version of A Chorus Line.
I was planning on having WordPress serve as a blog page but its tools and plug-ins have gone ballistic. So much so that I moved it to my root directory as my home page. This is mainly for organizing purposes.
I can’t wait to trick it out some. Add some new plug-ins or develop my own. We’ll see.
Reactivated my Twitter account and had a laugh when I read Jeff Jarvis’ interview on Metromix
…the Internet is a magnificent vehicle for individual expression. That said, my 16-year-old son Jake recently complained that the problem with Twitter is all people Twitter about is Twitter. But that’ll change in time.
A few technical setbacks: DandyID crapped out on me and WordPress wouldn’t let me link using the Visual form. Safari 4 Beta version is the most likely. Will revisit.
