This blog, on the strength of a decision by Lead Über Design Decision/Integration Technical Engineer (LUDDITE) Robert Stacy McCain, migrated from Blogger to WordPress a couple of years back. We’re in good company, apparently. 22% of U.S. web sites are using it.
Once that call was made, a query among the other cool kids, including Jimmie Bise, led us to the hosting services of Silver Logic. This has proven an excellent relationship. I suspect I’m one of SL’s more demanding customers, knowing just enough of the technical aspects of the MySQL back end to be dangerous. It is great to be stuck halfway around the world, need a bit of specific technical support just to be able to blog at all, and get it promptly. Blogging is a mighty fine addiction, and SL has been a great resource.
Even if you’re not hooked enough to need your own hosting, keep blogging. We stand in the tradition with the pamphleteers who drove the Revolution. Now our federal government has become as odious and unrepresentative today as the British Parliament was then. If we do not apply pressure to restore life, liberty, and the pursuit of debt-free happiness to subsequent generations, who will? Barney Frank? John McCain? Nancy Pelosi? Lindsey Graham? Harry Reid?

My money’s on Snooki. Or Capt. James T. Kirk. Whichever.
Thanks Smitty and congratulations to you and family for service to USA and bringing into our world your new child.
22% is not “one in five”; it’s two in nine.
Somtimes you scientist/lawyers are real pips.
Hear, Hear! Admiral Smitty. A hearty ‘Huzzah!’
Speaking of Lindsey Graham has everybody noticed how he seems to be kissing up to the Tea Party all of a sudden. He’s up for re-election next year, right?
Scientists/lawyers are pips 67.6543% of the time, not “sometimes”.
He and Orrin.
Have you also noticed Sarah is taking up for ol’ Orrin. Wonder what that’s about? I’ll give him this much, he has been good on protecting the vitamin supplement industry, which I at least appreciate.
You are of the body?
Now that you mention it: why, yes…yes I have noticed: WTF Sarah?.
Considering how New Jersey’s been governed/represented before Christie came along, they could do a lot worse than elect Snooki. At least she’s up front about being an attention whore.
Graham needs to die in a (primary) fire. Hatch, on the other hand, is looking like he’s capable of learning.

Ahh…the triumph of hope over experience, eh?
