Windows Live Writer's still in beta, and Blogger's out.

Shannon's old mojo profile

a little about me

In a turnabout is fairplay moment I decided to let my friend Doug write my profile for me since he let me take care of his- so here goes, the way I am and what I'm looking for, according to Doug ;) Hello everyone, I am Doug. In a fun turn of the screw, I am now writing Shannon's profile. Shannon's come a long way since I first met her. She was living in sin with some semi-literate mouth breather, and took a job her daddy got her in the office in which I worked. I watched her suffer repeatedly through sexual harassment by middle aged sales guys and inept computer nerds. After listening to her tales of woe one day, I offered to let her have the small room and non-private bathroom in in my spacious 2 bedroom apartment for 75% of my monthly rent. She accepted, securing my illusion of heterosexuality to the outside world and lining my pockets with her hard earned wages from toiling at the front office of a small business. She got much smarter living with me, and I figure her time with me is directly responsible for the highly paid professional geek that she is today. Her taste in datable men is still questionable, but she's all growed up now. I'm proud to call her a friend. And a tramp. But mostly I call her friend. PS: She sleeps very soundly.

what i'm looking for

I left Quixotics versions of my needs and wants in place, who doesn't want true love and a spanking, my only correction is the monkey should be a trunk monkey not a helper monkey. What Shannon wants, and what Shannon needs are very different things. She wants true love, a sharp looking young man with a job and a love of dogs and driving far outside of the Louisville city limits. What she needs is a spanking. And a helper monkey. But don't spank the helper monkey.

Old Mojo profile

little about me

[Quixotic = Doug. Shannon = Doug's friend & former roommate.]

My name is Shannon, and I have been selected as Doug's 'profile Proxy' as he has really just run out of interesting and fun things to say about himself. There are a million things I could say about Doug, being his former roommate I know plenty of stuff the average friend doesn't and probably really *shouldn't* know about him. But I won't go into his love of great, and even sometimes really bad porn, and I won't talk about the various leather accoutremonts that he has tucked neatly in a box in his closet.. what I WILL talk about is his love of his friends, his devotion to charity, and how he is always there if you need someone to talk to, cry on, or tell a really good dirty joke to. Doug is a giver, a lover not a fighter, a listener, and a great friend. He's also a great roommate, and if you've ever wanted to know what it's like to wake up at 3am and find a guy you're *not* dating and who isn't some stalker rapist standing in your bedroom with your panties on his head, Doug is your guy. [ed -- The panty thing did not happen. She never woke up.]

what i'm looking for

Now for things Doug wants, or is looking for. That's an easy list. Doug would like a busty asian woman willing to rub oil on his shaved head, he's also looking to win the lottery and/or find a woman wealthy enough to support him for the remainder of his hopefully long time on this earth. Most importantly he would really like a helper monkey (that one is actually for me) but I'm sure he'd enjoy having either the helper monkey or the trunk monkey available to him at all times for those sticky situations life tends to throw at you.

What holds you back?

http://www.wesabe.com/blog/index.php/2006/10/17/what-hold-you-back/

1. Make a will.
2. Pay off your credit cards.
3. Get term life insurance if you have a family to support.
4. Fund your 401(k) to the maximum.
5. Fund your IRA to the maximum.
6. Buy a house if you want to live in a house and can afford it.
7. Put six months expenses in a money market account.
8. Take whatever money is left over and invest 70% in a stock index fund and 30% in a bond fund through any discount broker and never touch it until retirement.
9. If any of this confuses you, or you have something special going on (retirement, college planning, a tax issue), hire a fee-based financial planner, not one who charges a percentage of your portfolio.

So I have life insurance, and a maxed 401k. And uhh, that's it. Time to get to work.

Instant Karma's Going to Get You

When will a new technology break through?

Engineers - think it will catch on simply because it’s possible

Economists - think it will go mainstream when it’s cheap enough

Marketers - are sure it will explode if they spend millions marketing it

But the most important thing is that it will not catch on before it’s user friendly and easy to understand!

Live Writer Update

Apparently Windows Live Writer now supports blogger beta. If so, I am very very happy.

Web development links

Ajaxian This one looked like it was worth keeping.

DigDoug ToDo List

• integrate my del.icio.us links


• integrate flickr images


• Remember to update.


• Track GTD type metrics


• Opinion vs. Experience?

Beta Blogger Post

This post is from the built in blogger tools. Afterwards I will try from the new Windows Live Writer. I have a feeling it may not support labels, and the newer features of Blogger.

Thank god for labels though, really.
