Notes from the Trail

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I’ve been using Sitemeter to track my stats for a while now, and my stats always dip on the weekends. I wonder if that’s common? Of course, I rarely post anything significant on the weekends, and this post is no exception.

I got a laugh from Engadget’s post of the following: The Worst USB Device Idea

Heads up to all the moms who read this blog…



Mommybuzz.com is here. I don’t know much about it, but it looks like a nice way to network with other moms out there for tips, ideas, and encouragement.

Aaaaah. I accidentally deleted Smallville Season 5, Episode 2 off of my TiVo the other night. I was stunned. What to this point only Kryptonite could do, I had accomplished with a plastic remote in less than a second.

You may recall my self-confessed Smallville Addiction.

So… here’s my plea. If any of you have it recorded or know someone who does, please, please, please contact me. I’d pay for the tape, DVD or shipping. Maybe even send you a free ticket to the new Superman movie coming out this fall.

I’m a complete idiot.

Yes, I knew that William Booth founded the Salvation Army upon the tenets and principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but I had ignorantly assumed (a prominent attitude in the States, I’m afraid) that it had been neutered of much of its evangelistic and Christian base.

Enter a link from headphonaut’s nanolog to the Salvation Army. After a few minutes of wandering through it, I was humbled and grateful for their work. They’re not just bell ringers. Like I said, I’m an idiot.

Not that I’m claiming Notes from the Trail had anything to do with any of this, but consider the following:
? ServantBlog was the first featured “Off the Path” link here at Notes. A week later, it was awarded membership into the 9rules network.
? TypepadHacks was the 2nd featured OTP link, and shortly thereafter was listed on Typepad’s homepage as a featured blog.

Now, with all that being said, I’m recognizing Steve Rubel’s excellent blog: Micro Persuasion as the 3rd OTP link. It’s a wonderful wealth of informatio and resource for bloggers, design hackers, and webheads. Thanks to Steve for great work being done!
