Theme Changing

I'm looking for a new theme. I love Hemmingway, but I don't think that it is very usuable for some possible viewers.

A move from Wordpress to Blogger

I really like wordpress. It's functional and aesthetically pleasing. It's easy to use, open-source, and customizable. But, there are some things that I don't really like that much. I don't like the constant updating of the software. It seemed like every time that I logged in it was time for an update. I also didn't like the commenting system. So, I decided to move to blogger. There shouldn't be any hiccups, but it will take me a few days to get the layout like I want. So, thanks for your patience.

Why do Interfaces always change?

It's been a long time since I have written anything. I logged into the new blogger today with it's new interface. I upgraded to Lion with it's newer interface. Why do people always change the interface? Why are there so many themes, skins, or whatever you call them? I think I might have an answer. Really I've boiled it down to two possibilities.

If gmail still looked the same as it did when they released it, people would think that it was old and out of date. However, I don't remember two...

TESOL Part 3: Everything Else

This is the last in my TESOL series reporting on the 2009 conference. One thing that I did differently this year is that I spent more time networking and more time in the Electronic Village. As far as networking, I met some big names in CALL, like Phil Hubbard. That was good. I spent a lot of time talking with publishers. Part of this was me hoping to get a job offer somehow. I actually think that I wouldn't mind working for a publishing company. In the Electronic Village, I spent time talking to other tech gurus. It was fun. One of the highlights for me was the Hardware Fair. I finally got to get my hands on an OLPC. Great Idea, but I wasn't two impressed. It looks like a good idea for children in countries with poor economies. Really, wouldn't we be doing them a favor by providing something that has a more prolific OS. Even Ubuntu might be better. With the dropping prices in computers and the growing popularity of the netbook, the OLPC and Classmate may soon be a thing of...
