Twitter Predictions
The Bloggess posted about a site that will predict what you will say next on Twitter based on your past tweets. So here is what they think I will post next. Fairly accurate I think. 375AD. Julian last ruler of signing paperwork. Steroids don’t make lousy emperors. So I’m in heaven. Happy Bastille Day! CNN [...]
Analyze Me
I haven’t written anything since the trip to Florida mostly because I just haven’t been in the mood. But today I wanted to post this analysis of my blog writing from an AI website. You can go there if you want to check out other sites. randomthinking.info is probably written by a female somewhere between [...]
Why Do People Visit?
Why do people visit my blog? That is the question. There are some people who are friends and they drop by to see how Mikey is doing or to see what nonsense I am writing. But there are other people who do a search on a topic and end up on my blog. So what [...]
Who are you people?!
When you have your own blog, one of the things that you sometimes wonder is, who the heck reads this thing? I know I am getting hits because I can track them but I have no idea who any of my readers are other than the few who leave comments. That is why I added [...]
Breaking Benjamin – The Diary of Jane
Welcome to the Friday song off my iPod. And once again, I found a song that I didn’t even know I had on my iPod! Breaking Benjamin is an alternative rock band from Pennsylvania. The group was founded ten years ago by Benjamin Burnley (lead singer) and Jeremy Hummel (drummer) and gets its name from [...]
I am a bad blogger
Sometimes life gets in the way of blogging. I spent a good part of the previous week attending a conference on Down syndrome and then finally upgrading downsyn.com with a new dedicated server. The upgrade was well worth the time and effort. The forum was constantly down when I was running a shared server. We [...]
31 for 21 is Over
I managed to do it! The Get it Down: 31 For 21 Challenge is over and I managed to blog every single day in October. Which brings up the NaBloPoMo challenge. But I think I’ll pass on that one.
Mailbox Full of Spam
I used to have a link to my email address on downsyn.com so that if someone wanted to send us an email for more information they could just click the link. This worked great at first but over the years the amount of regular email became overwhelmed by spam, just like in the Monty Python [...]
Moving my Blog
I have been using olm.net to host downsyn.com and my blog for several years. Service has been going steadily downhill for the past year and it seems like we are down just about every other day. So I signed up a package with dotster and moved Random Thinking there to see if things are better. [...]
The 31 for 21 Challenge
Tricia, the mom of Georgia, and blogger over at Unringing the Bell, has created the 31 for 21 Challenge. The rules of the challenge are fairly simple… blog every day for the entire month of October in salute to Down syndrome Awareness Month. Your blogs don’t even have to be about Down syndrome. I think [...]
