It’s been a few busy busy weeks and I haven’t had a chance to swap out the default pictures in the swell cutline wordpress theme. Something went awry on the blog anyway and WordPress was unhappy and not serving anything. As a result, this site is probably not google’s 95th most popular Bernie.

In the past couple weeks we launched two new blogs at CNET: Crave, and Webware. It’s very exciting to see these up and running and growing. I’ll leave it at that for now.

I didn’t mention the one year anniversary of moving to San Francisco, partly because I wanted to have something more profound to say. And tomorrow will mark fourteen months. It’s been worth it. It’s been a challenge. It’s been exciting, but we are finally settling in.

San Francisco is becoming Home.

Crazy.

Granted, I’ve never accessorized well. I have a hard time buying a belt. I like a lot of the aspects of this Hemmingway theme, but I’m not sure about this front page display with the two truncated posts.

Back to k2?

Or something home-grown? (no time though!)

hmmm….

del.icio.us daily blog posting
. In theory, pretty cool, but in practice not so good for me. Daily posts of links look… well… ugly.

I use del.icio.us quite a lot, but those daily posts are going to outweigh regular posts – always. why do you care? Well, maybe you would be interested in the javascript linkrolls or perhaps the json implementation. Good stuff.

I’ve been playing around with blog software for a long time – Blogger (the non-hosted era), greymatter, and more recently Movable Type which powered this site (in fits and starts, of course) for a few years.

And somewhere along the line… MT v3, I believe, I got bored. I got bored because I am more of a tinker-er than a ‘blogger’, and MT 3 threw in a ton of template cruft, and sad default templates that it didn’t seem fun to re-engineer the templates to a simple state. And then there is perl. Guh. So WordPress, thanks for making playing with the web during off-hours fun again.
