Hey folks. I am just testing a feature I found by accident in OneNote. It allows me to send a blog post directly to WordPress from within OneNote. Neat, huh? We’ll see if this shows up. If it does, I’m likely as not to delete it.

With the notable exception of a few staples, my interests are…well, fleeting. I usually bounce back and forth between things I’m “into” at any given time.  While I always return to old favorites, my choice of music, books, movies, TV and games all tend to be dependent on my current whims.

In an attempt to update my blog a bit more often, I’m going to try to post a weekly “into” list, for those curious about what I’ve been entertaining myself with recently.

• Reading:I just finished Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novik, the fourth in an amazing series.  Next in line is A Brother’s Price by Wen Spencer.  Kenn highly recommended it, but as I have not yet started, I cannot give an opinion yet. Read the rest of this entry »

Granted, it has been up for a while now, but the Now IT Works blog is available for your perusal.  Now IT Works, my employer, offers networking and computer services to small businesses, acting as a contract-based outsourced IT department.

Most of the blog posts discuss ways to make your IT services run easier, offering tips and presenting new products we can offer.  I write there regularly enough, as do my coworkers.  Check it out if you get the chance.

You can also follow the Now IT Works Twitter feed, which serves to notify folks of new posts.

Few things are more difficult than seeing a friend going through something so heart-breaking.

Thoughts and prayers go out to Dan and his family in this incredibly tough time.

While I do enjoy the ambiance of my current Wordpress theme, I believe I may need to change it soon.  The one I’m using seems a bit too browser-intensive, and a little ungainly.

In the past, I have always just picked themes by virtue of color and columns, with little regard for what my audience thinks.  With this in mind, I reach out to my readers for suggestions.  I only have a few requirements for a theme:  2-3 columns is a must, full support for my current plugins and widgets, and a pleasant look and feel.

Please feel free to post suggestions in the comments, and I will take each into due consideration.  If you have some trouble finding themes, you can check here for some, or just use our old friend.

The Dark Knight was, without a doubt, the best Batman movie ever made.  It would not be an unfair statement to say it is the best superhero movie ever made.  I’ll not spoil the fledgling film’s story for those of you unfortunate enough to have not yet seen it, but thoughts of the franchise’s future have certainly sprung to mind.  With the unfortunate and untimely demise of the film’s true star shortly after the movie’s completion, Batman’s future nemeses have some gargantuan, toe-stomping shoes to fill.
