Can anyone explain to me why Facebook seems to prefer the MySpace-esque message posting system, which (on your page) only displays the messages someone posts to you, but only displays responses on the other person’s page (without including the original)?
At least with Facebook you can click the link to see the conversation in order, but [...]

More traveling… this time internationally! This was the first time the kids had been technically outside of the US (unless you count Christian’s in utero trip to Sweden), and the first trip to Canada for any of us.
We were fortunate to run into a helpful guy at a gas station in Washington who clued us [...]

2007-08-06 - [ More vacation catch-up posts ]
Today was spent exploring Seattle. We went to the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame and the adjoining EMP (Experience Music Project). Both were very fun.
The sci-fi museum was a great reminder of the rich history that exists in that genre, presented in all sorts of [...]

In a follow-up to the articles I posted earlier (first, second), it appears that Google has begun to penalize sites for selling PageRank via text links, and TLA specifically. [More detail, from the site in question...]
Also, as I feared / predicted, Google gave NO warning to the site owner before the penalization took effect, and [...]

We had so much fun yesterday “floating the river” that we decided to do it again today, this time a bit down the road at a place called Sunriver. It was a longer trip this time and even more enjoyable than the last.
After that we packed up and headed north for Seattle, prepared for another [...]

We had originally planned to leave on Friday and finish the trip today, but since we had extra time, we decided to go float down the river through Bend during the day. Everyone got some rafts, although I ended up just swimming it, kind of like an all natural “lazy river” with a lot [...]

[Catching up on the backlog of day-by-day vacation posts... I had originally just typed notes / drafts while I was gone, planning to go back and add to them later, but at this point I think I just need to go through, clean up, and publish them].

Not much to say about today, other than that [...]

If you aren’t reading the Dilbert blog, you should be. Unless you don’t like things that are funny, often in a sarcastic way.
In catching up on old feeds, I came across this post where he analyzes various “common knowledge” threats to society, such as:
When I was a kid, it was common knowledge that you would [...]

Well, we’re back, and I obviously didn’t ever get around to doing daily posts while I was gone.
I did type up some drafts / notes as I went, so I will have to go back and clean them up and publish them later, but I’m not about to stay up late tonight to do it.
For [...]

2007-08-02 (I planned to do a daily log of this thing, and so far, I’m woefully behind. Here’s seeing if I can catch up at this point)
Well, we ended up taking off a day earlier than we originally had planned to. Randy and Jacquie and Randy and Kristi had already planned to take off on [...]
