Something About Blogging Platforms
A fellow blogger is making the move to WordPress from Google’s Blogger service. The blogger said that lots of people are doing that and that there seemed to be some issues with the function of the platform. In looking at Blogger’s twitter account I discovered that there hasn’t been a new post since May whereas WordPress posted an article on October 21. That isn’t good or is it?
I think what goes on behind the scenes is important when choosing a blogging platform. New features are important as long as they enhance functionality and improve workflow. Sensible changes can improve your experience and when the platform works the way it should you can focus on creating and connecting vs. always doing maintenance.
More Pictures Of The Day In Murphy, North Carolina
Today we went with our friends John and Connie to Murphy, North Carolina to see the fall colors in the trees and to explore. Well the fall colors weren’t happening due to the drought conditions we are having in the region. However we did explore a very charming town with a great assortment of things to see and do. It was a great day of getting out and going to a state I hadn’t been to in 17 years.

AT&T to buy Time Warner in media mega-deal – Oct. 22, 2016 – CNN Money
AT&T and Time Warner have agreed to an $85 billion deal — one of the biggest media tie-ups ever.The move, announced Saturday evening, will help AT&T expand beyond wireless and Internet service into programming. Time Warner is the parent of CNN, TNT, HBO, the Warner Bros. studio, and other channels and websites. AT&T to buy Time Warner in media mega-deal – Oct. 22, 2016
This move caught me off guard. Granted I wasn’t looking for it though. AT&T and TimeWarner are two of America’s largest distribution and media companies. I am not sure this is good for competition or for diversity in opinions. We will have to see how this shakes out or even gets approval by the federal government. AT&T recently bought DirecTV and TimeWarner was bought by AOL years ago and spun AOL off to independent operation. Again, wow, this is huge!
Something About Sleep
Sure, I enjoy a full nights rest like the next dork but some nights it just doesn’t happen. My bladder is as old as me and when you have to get up to go to the bathroom/loo it can interrupt your sleep cycle and in some cases you never get back to sleep. There is too much life happening and that can make your brain click on and that is never a good thing when you wanna get some good shut eye. Sleep is vital to ones health and well being so when you don’t get enough of it then there is room for concern there. One thing I don’t like is how lack of sleep effects me late in the day. Falling asleep at work isn’t always a good thing according to most bosses.
Life is something to do when you can’t get to sleep. Fran Lebowitz
I suppose I have too much living to do or something like that.
