Blogs Away
Wednesday, November 16th, 2005
Although I avoid calling this website a blog in public, I do use blogging software to keep it up to date … or out of date, depending. In that vein, I’m keeping up with the times by updating to a 2005 blogging app … just in time for 2006. Oops. (I’m now using WordPress instead of Blogger. I signed up for Blogger in 2001 and had been using ever since.)
While moving my site, I redesigned it and got rid of some old posts I wrote in 2001 and 2002. Many of them weren’t relevant or worth keeping up anymore, but I did find some oldie-but-goodie links to share.
- Boring North Pole webcam. Originally posted in June 2002. Oh by the way, it’s dark there from October to March, so this webcam publishes blank, black photos six months a year. (See above.)
- The Haiku-o-Matic. When I posted this in April 2002, one of my favorites was: alien life form / lays its eggs within my chest. / my shirt is ruined.
- What do you do when the world’s about to end? Many of you may have answered DRINK!! — but when? Be sure to keep this handy Apocalypse Drinking Game on hand to be sure you’re playing by the rules. As useful today as when I first posted it in April 2002.
I hope you enjoyed these highlights, because I spent an hour following old, broken links and reading “Sorry I haven’t posted lately” posts in order to gather them for you.
Up next? A new 5 Gadgets post is coming your way this week. And if you want to leave me new comments, that would be swell — I lost all my old ones in the move.

As promised, I’m making some more changes to this space. As much fun as I had renaming this site to uber webcredulous, it’s just not fun for anyone to remember. I thought I’d pick something from the English language this time. So welcome to my new new name, electron zoo.

I am writing about technology. You know, embryos with lasers in their navals
and oversized killer robots. Horrible impending doom and the like. Oh and
neat gadgets. Yeah, for sure.
