Tersosity & Verbosity

New Blogs

Posted in Administrivia, Blogging, Family, Link, money by Jay on the March 14th, 2010

While this place has been rather fallow, between my not tweeting and the feed from Twitter failing to work properly for a while, I’ve been working on new blogs. Not sure what will happen to this, which never had much focus. It’s generating a wee bit of revenue on the joint ad enterprise with my ex, which makes it not to be removed completely, but doesn’t make it a big focus either. It could have been my new general personal blog, but I missed that boat.

Digression aside, and besides that I do plan to post at some of the existing blogs more than I’ve been doing, there are two new blogs I would like to note.

One is The Frugal Guy Cook, which supersedes and expands upon the ill-fated Married Guy Cook. It’s food and cooking, yes, but also shopping, saving, practicality, plus coping with allergies and catering to kids.

The other is Divine Hamster, which took me until today to grok the focus of fully. I’d thought of making it an everything personal blog, or just a parenting and kids blog, or a fun and culture blog. There will be some of that - even a lot of parts of that. However, it’s going to be personal for me in that it will double as a place to remember the past, my childhood and things that may not even exist any more, while also covering what is current or classic that is associated with or part of the memories of my own kids. Memories and times past meet current culture and memories being made. Seems like I nostalgia blogged a lot in the past, so that should be easy. Stay tuned…

This seems right…

You Are a Rock Star


Even if you can’t play a single instrument, you’re a total rebel and creative type.
You couldn’t imagine yourself with a corporate job, and you couldn’t imagine having a boss.

You are expressive, original, and often times a bit moody. You are very real about who you are and what you’re feeling.
You tend to get in trouble a lot. You have a total bad girl or bad boy attitude, and you just always seem to be landing in hot water!

  • I love how even thinking about what I need to get done unsettles the kids and bogs me down with them. Argh! #

  • #10yearsago I was near end of 1st year of full time self-employment & had just fatefully saved business from closing 8 years “early.” #
  • New year’s eve for me means going to be slightly later than normal, hanging alone with the kids until next year when Mom gets home. #
  • I look forward to 2010 as it’s hard to imagine it being worse. I never make resolutions, but being resolute would be good. #
  • If it weren’t for the state of the world, I might call 2008 worse. At least in 2009 I was working all year at a job I loved, albeit PT. #

  • Mary & Joseph invested all that gold, frankincense and myrrh in trust for their son, but lost it in the great money changer bubble. #
  • @dmataconis No! And what about the “two oh one oh” folks, eh? (Seriously though, fewer syllables FTW.) #
  • Trying out http://teuxdeux.com/, which seems cool in its simplicity. #
  • Debating whether to retry/complete migration from Expression Engine to Wordpress, or revert #WP to #EE on Blogblivion. #
  • #EE to #WP is nigh impossible. Not sure how it’d be migrating newer posts from WP to EE. Easy enough to return EE install to root. #
  • Of course, the more interesting one will be porting from pMachine to WP, but that seems to be better documented and scripted than EE>>WP. #

  • Having made me lunch at 3:00 gives me little enthusiasm for making supper at 5:00. Sickness aside. #
