Does this make the blog formatting go all crappy?

edit: Update – No it does not.

I get bored easily as you can tell. Please don’t read any of the past entries. They are a complete waste of time. I like to try out new things and then move on. What can I say.

I get really pumped about something, read anything and everything I can about it. And then I instantly lose interest. It’s just my nature I suppose. I almost unpublished a bunch of the posts below because it is slightly embarrassing to see all the failures, but ahh screw it.

I’ve had thoughts of going all Twitter all the time. Nah, too public. Too personal. Side note: I have just about completely replaced my Google Reader time with Twitter reading time.

How about Posterous? This service really appeals to me. Short and sweet but not quite twittersize. Nope, I don’t control the site and I really like everything being on this domain for the most part. The same reason that I don’t use Blogger or WordPress.com.

I follow a bunch of people one way or another. Visit their site, follow them on Twitter, or via Google Reader. Maybe part of the reason this blogging thing feels so intimidating is because I feel like I have to write a friggin essay or journal entry. ^Case in point. But that isn’t true. Some of the people I enjoy reading the most don’t post long diatribes. Maybe occasionally, but just a sentence or two works just fine. pbump.net for instance. Most days he posts a quick little entry with a link or tidbit that I somehow missed in my daily traversing of the intenets. From AmberMac to Zatz, I read it all. Or so I thought. What now? We’ll see.

Installed.

So in the never ending battle of trying to think of something new to write about during a brainstorming session I had an idea. What about having a section on the website that listed domains for sale. Probably right over there ——–>>>> in the sidebar. Not just random websites but sites that I own.  I currently own close to two dozen domain names. I’m somewhat of a domain hoarder I guess you could say. I love coming up with a good name and then hurriedly checking to see if it has already been registered. It’s as if I feel like someone else had the thought at the exact same time I did and we’re racing to see who can register it first. Sound familiar to anyone?

Like the word hurriedly for example. Just typing along in that last paragraph and the word hurriedly comes up. Damn, taken. Anyway a lot of those domains sit parked at NameDrive collecting 3¢ a month. In my opinion they are good names. Why am I not putting together a site or blog and monetizing the hell out of them? Damned laziness. That’s the only excuse I can come up with.

It will be pretty hard for me to part with them, so what I may do in the mean time is register some domains for the explicit purpose or reselling them. That sounds like a better way for me to ease into it. I’ll get this up and going over the next couple of weeks.

As you can tell from the title I’m writing this post from an iPhone 3G. But, it’s not just any iPhone 3G, it’s MY new iPhone 3G. That’s right. I was finally able to get one of these bad boys. Better late than never. I’m I pretty big gadget guy but unfortunately my budget doesn’t always allow me to partake in the latest and greatest. The original iPhone was just too damned expensive, price drop or not. But when Steve announced the 3G I knew I had to get one as soon as AT&T would let me upgrade. That happened to be last Friday. I bought the 8GB black model. Piece of advice for those of you that don’t yet have one and are thinking about picking one up. Get the 8 gig. Several people that already had iPhones told me this because unless you need to have more than a couple of movies on it, you can use the app SimplifyMedia to stream your entire music collection from home. I will add some pictures later when I get home.

*update: Links added from home. Photos coming as soon as I take them.

*updateupdate: Done.

Just to mix things up a little bit so that it’s not all business all the time, how about a picture of my dog.

Here we are again. The blog is now running Ma.tt and crews latest and greatest. As of today that is WordPress 2.6.2. It is always fun to see what new features they have come up with. This 2.6.x revision is looking very polished and mature. Can’t wait for 2.7.

Just got around to installing the latest and greatest from WordPress.org. WordPress 2.5 is pretty nice looking. I reccomend installing it if you haven’t already. The change to the dashboard and the admin interface is worth it even if you don’t like any of the other changes.

Whew, this place sure is dusty.  Yeah, yeah, sorry I kind of abandoned the place. As I kind of predicted in my very first post here I mentioned I had the tendency to burn out quickly. Sure enough it happened. Well, I’m back again. For now.

I won’t be making any promises any time soon as far as post frequency go but I have been getting interested in blogging and trying to make some extra money online so I’ll see how that goes. More later as I feel like it.

If anyone happens to see this through their RSS feed reader (which I don’t think anyone will), this is a test post from Google Docs. No, I didn’t just write it in Google Docs and copy and paste, I will actually published (if this works) straight from the Google Docs interface. Let’s try it out.
