Evil Review

As I perused the Toronto Film Festival schedule, one of the films I considered seeing was Alan Ball's directorial debut. After reading this review of Nothing is Private from The Reeler, I'm really glad that I didn't.

Don't read the review if you're easily offended. And definitely don't see the movie.

Opps

I've been totally neglecting this blog. It's not because I have nothing to say, and it's not because I'm too busy to jot down a couple words about the things I've been doing in the past few weeks. It's because I haven't had time to post all my photos from my recent cross-country road trip, and the weekend I spent at the San Diego Comic-con.

So, I was waiting to finish that before I write about the things I've done since. But I decided that's silly, so I'm going to stop doing that. I'll come back to those things when the photos are posted. It's not like I'm going to forget about them!

Blog fixed!

Hooray, it took a while, but the blog seems to have sorted itself out. To be more specific than I was in my previous post - Sprint Picture Mail broke my blog. I tried to email a photo from my Treo directly to the blog. Flickr handles that really well, but Blogger doesn't. So, the post included the whole ridiculous HTML email from Sprint, instead of just the photo with title and description.

Not that big a deal, I guess except that it displayed in an ugly, illegible way, and when I tried to delete the post it wouldn't delete, and things I posted afterwards weren't showing up.

Overnight it seems to have refreshed and all is well again.

Damn it

I think I broke my blog.

Vox vs Blogger Continued: Vox... eh.

Vox seemed really easy and handy at first. After a couple weeks the charm has worn off. It looks busy. The things that they make easy to do are things I can work around (or do without). And the things it can't do (though they know about them) are really just too frustrating.

Blogger's looking pretty good. Got some other things to try too.

Blogger vs. Vox

So, I'm test driving two blog platforms at once. Is that wrong? So far, what I've found is that:

• They're both pretty easy to set up and edit.
• Both support moblogging (although, setting it up on blogger was so counter-intuitive, I almost didn't do it).
• Blogger lets me add lists of links ("blogroll"), but Vox doesn't have that capability yet (!!)
• Vox lets me directly integrate my flickr account. Not sure yet how useful that will be, but since posting photos to flickr is my primary online obsession, I have a feeling that will be pretty key.
