Age != wisdom: Why does Livejournal keep getting it wrong?

No Comments »

Anyone who knows me well knows that two websites are responsible for almost all of my “social life”: Livejournal (LJ) and Yelp. I have an especially long history with LJ as I’ve been an LJ user for almost eight years now. Livejournal is a blogging tool, while Yelp is devoted mainly to business reviews. Through osmosis or design, they’ve both fostered rather strong social networks as well.

My new favorite blog. Yes, this is a very shameless plug. My three friends and I love to cook, and this is our blog. The three of them live in the same house (both floors of a double-decker) and I’ll be moving in as the fourth resident sometime soon. We call that house “The Awesomesauce” simply because we couldn’t think of any other name. Hence “Awesomesauce Eats,” because we eat. A lot. We’ve been thinking for a while now it’s time we started a food blog, and finally she-who-calls-herself-Plumduff made us our new home. You have to blog what you love, right?

Yet another one of my photos made it to the UniversalHub frontpage!

I was walking around the Back Bay area on Sunday night and just happened to have my camera with me. I’ve always wondered about this castle.Was this an old armory? My google-fu fails me here. Does anyone know the story behind this structure?And yes, admittedly, this is a rather sub-par photograph.

And yes, also admittedly, I’m not updating this blog NEARLY as much as I should. I’m taking a hard look at where my content is (isn’t) going, and I’m trying to figure out what makes the most sense to concentrate on here. Cardinal Rule #1 of Blogging is to keep content fresh, and I’m breaking this one left and right. It’s been nearly a month! Ai yi yi. Sorry for the silence on my part.

In true blogger fashion, there are video interviews of Matt Mullenweg at the Greek blogger camp, from what I’ve seen so far he talks about the future of WordPress and WP features. Interesting stuff straight from the source!
