Bent Corner

I saw this happen yesterday on Meet The Press and it made me cringe. The more this campaign drags on, the more I’m convinced John McCain has Alzheimer’s.

The newest version of everyone’s favorite blogging platform is now available as a free download. I told myself I wasn’t going to upgrade anymore until I was certain it was bug free. For some reason this morning I felt like living life on the edge and decided to spice things up by doing the upgrade.

So far, so good.

They actually changed much of the interface. The look is totally different. The dashboard used to be a sloppy, confusing place. Now it is much more streamlined. Everything seems to be set up in a much more user-friendly manor. Of course you wont ever see this unless you are a WordPress user. The actual blog looks the same. The actual blog acts the same. At least from what I can tell so far.

It appears that the ability to embed YouTube videos is built right into the platform, making the use of third-party plugins unnecessary.  With prior WordPress versions, you would have to post in the non-visual editor mode to post a YouTube video.  Otherwise the WYSIWYG editor would botch the YouTube formating.  I wont know for certain until I try to embed a video, but it looks like I should be able to do it.

If you are a WordPress user and you are wondering about doing the 2.5 upgrade, by all means do it.

And I’ve seen quite a few creepy things on the Internet over the years. The music accompanying the video didn’t help.

I swore I would never by another Windows computer ever again. Staples then put the HP Pavillion dv6000 on sale for $550. What the hell? How can I pass that up? So far, I’m loving this notebook. It has built in wireless so I can sit here in the living room on my recliner while I surf the Internet. Is it still referred to as surfing the Internet?

I don’t know. I don’t care. I’m sitting in the living room in my recliner watching stuff on YouTube. Life’s pretty good.
