• Byte Cellar: Apple //c as a Dumb Terminal to my Mac mini Gotta try this out. There’s an old Apple //c lying around somewhere. Oops, I’m missing the Mac mini.
• Leave those kids alone “The idea that adults should be playing with their kids is a modern invention — and not necessarily a good one” (this article sort of relieves the guilt for me, I must admit)

• Dr. Gabriel S. Dy-Liacco - Faculty Bio Uncle’s bio at Regent University website. Page’s title misspells our last name, the body’s got it right.
• Dy-Liacco System Security Model A Google Book Search reveals a security model named after my grandfather’s brother.

• Renewing Strength One young mother’s blog about her struggle against the effects of ameloblastoma, something I myself had to endure several years ago (and still enduring).

I’m contemplating buying a multi-ticket train pass to jumpstart a train/bike combo commute starting today. It’s Bike to Work Day* after all. I used to ride the train and my bike to work daily. It kept me in good shape.

*The above-referenced site was designed by me for the non-profit bicycle org, by the way. I created a full WP theme for it.

Ok, that’s enough “tweet” posts on my blog homepage. My blog has devolved into the “what-I-ate-for-dinner” type, something I’ve always dreaded of it becoming. Granted, that’s what Twitter is all about: being able to write seemingly irrelevant posts for many to follow (Twitter’s tagline should be: Getting stalked has never been easier!). And I signed up with Twitter for that very reason. There’s some value in being able to post about something that would otherwise be a fleeting thought or moment, permanently stamped on the ether of the internet. Populating my blog with tweets, I thought, was a great way to have ‘fresh’ content on my blog. I used the plug-in Twitter Tools to publish all my tweets for the day in one post. The problem is, all I had on the homepage for days on end was tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet!

So I’m removing my tweet posts from my homepage. They’ll still be available to be viewed in the archives, and of course, on my Twitter badge in the sidebar. I’m using the Category Visibility plug-in to exclude the Twitter category from the homepage.* I’m back, however, to my original dilemma, which is creating fresh, “real” content on my blog. *sigh*

*sort of like what ms. renaissance girl has done for a while now, separating her blog posts from her blurts (hey, ms. mona’s quite the pioneer, isn’t she?).
