Am I a Geek?

TagFest: Tech

This tag category is kind of my catch-all for various topics, mostly internet-related. Here are some highlights:
Pandora Rocks: where I start up my own radio station, WKBJ
Say What?: where I get all excited about my brand-new Mac Mini
When Your DVR Lies to You: where I attempt to watch what I want when I want
Gmail Chat Away: where I persuade a recalcitrant friend to try a chat program
Going Off the Map: where we peruse cool places on earth from satellites
Gmail-Jackin': where I started getting some dude's Amazon emails
To see other tech posts, click on the word "tech" in the Tags section in the sidebar on the right.

I'm really enjoying the new Blogger. It takes a blink to publish a post when before I'd be sitting around for a few seconds. Of course, you know I'm loving the tags. The customization of text and elements on the page is much easier (e.g. "7 comments" can be "7 POVs" or even "7 wishes for you"). Comments can be dated now which makes it easier to know when your fellow readers have been visiting (and leaving their own POV). However, you still can't edit your comments. (Why can't they fix that?)

But my favorite thing so far is the navigational tools. If you're at the bottom of a page, you aren't forced to scroll up to the top to keep reading—there are links to newer or older posts right there waiting for you. If you click on the posting-time link ("posted by bjwill at 9:09 AM") and you get to a page with a single post, you can even maneuver from post to post easily with the "Newer Post" and "Older Post" links below the comments.

If you're a Blogger user and have not yet updated. I would highly recommend it.
