Excuse me, Google earth flight simulator!?!?!?!?!?! I think I just wet myself.

Performancing

Right now I’m blogging from the Performancing extension. It’s pretty nifty, and now I don’t have to think about using that flock browser (until they do something fantastic) for awhile.

Performancing for Firefox | Performancing.com

Performancing for Firefox is a full featured blog editor that sits right within Firefox. Just hit F8 or click the little pencil icon at the bottom right to bring up the blog editor and easily post your WordPress, MovableType or Blogger blogs.

Did you read that? It works with wordpress.com. That’s good news for me. However, there’s still another thing that stops me from blogging on a regular basis and that’s the fact that we don’t yet have a high speed connection at my house. Yeah, we party like it’s 1999, unfortunately. But occasionaly there are times when I’ll be in the middle of an extended stay somewhere where there’s some delicious high speediness floating around.

Oh yeah, the performancing thing has this little feature that lets me add technorati tags too. Fun.

Pardon Me, Livejournal

I love the idea of blogging and knowing that a stranger or two might possibly be reading my posts. That’s why I have keep a blog in the first place! But since all blogs are not created equal, there comes a time when one has to choose a favorite. There are three favorites on my list now. Livejournal is a really nice blogging service, and has a client that can be used in conjunction with it; blogger is a google ran service for blogging, and I can post there through microsoft word; and then there’s wordpress. This being my first post with wordpress, I’ll have to reserve judgement for awhile. But there is something about this blog that makes my fingers tingle a little bit.

I think it has to do with all these options I have, and the very nice looking theme, and ability t o categorize posts. Just recently, I abandoned my blogger blog for a livejournal that has a lot of cool features. LJ has categorizing, a client, the ability to make posts private or friends only or even public, a great commenting system, and so much more. But, there is something inside of my soul that wants to switch to wordpress for some reason. I’ll sort out the details later, but until further notice, I’m going to update this blog indefinitely, and the livejournal blog … well I’ll update that too. It’s time to make some decisions here. And I’ll let you know when I’ve made mine.
