Cooper: Diane, last night I dreamed I was eating a large, tasteless gumdrop, and awoke to discover I was chewing on one of my foam disposable earplugs. Perhaps I should consider moderating my nighttime coffee consumption.

Starting Over Again

In June of 2003, I first started "Dan's Place" by editing text html files (dlog).  Then, in October 2005, I started using Greymatter to have more of a real blog look to it, while still keeping everything under my own control: dlog2.  Now in March 2010, I'm trying blogger.com, mostly to make it look even more like a real blog, and to gain things like tags, categories, and gadgets.  And I figure, why do I really need to have all the raw files.  Google's not going away, and if anything's lost, it's lost.  It's not like I'm Edgar Allan Poe. Or John Lennon. Or even Erma Bombeck.  Plus, with comment verification, I don't expect to have any more spam comments to clean up.  And, assuming it's possible and it works, I like the idea of being able to subscribe to a feed instead of having to check every once in a while to see if I made one of my infrequent updates.
