Blog Review


gingerOne of traditional Asian cuisine’s most often used ingredients, goyin contains ginger. Goyin, the new mood enhancing energy drink, contains many ingredients borrowed from the far east’s traditional medicine cabinet. Ginger makes goyin a digestive aid, an ingredient that has been used to treat dyspepsia and colic.

There are many other uses for ginger, making goyin a very useful part of your routine. Ginger has been used to decrease joint pain for arthritis sufferers and also has been found to have cholesterol lowering powers. These qualities compliment other goyin ingredients perfectly.

Update: Goyin Forum

Since I was young, I knew I was goyin to be someone important and rich. That’s why I’m goyin to join this MLM. If I want a rich life, I am going (going?) to have to start thinking on my toes. That’s why Goyin will be my life’s focus for the next couple hours.

BlogDesk-button

As all my reader know, I don’t blog very often. Its not for lack of content; I have tons of articles that have been written and unfinished. The method of blogging in a browser is inconvenient, having to log on with a username and password, using different tabs for uploading images and writing the article, etc. (I use wordpress).

Lewis tipped me off to BlogDesk, an application you can download for free and that allows you to blog without openning a single browser. It was easy to set up my blog. It just asked for simple pieces of information that I could remember off the top of my head (like username, password, blog address, etc). It even automatically uploaded my categories.

BlogDesk also comes with a spellcheck. I found it humorous that the words ‘blog’ and ‘blogdesk’ are not in the dictionary.

Annoyingly, the ‘insert link’ function doesn’t allow you to write your own anchor text. If I’m missing the boat on this, someone let me know.

Also annoying was my first attempt at using BlogDesk to post. I inserted some HTML (so I could choose my own anchor text for the above links) and when I went to post, it said something about invalid HTML, and then it automatically shut down asking if I wanted to send an error report. I was pleased to find, however, that BlogDesk had automatically saved my unfinished post. Not bad.

Dan Garfield’s blog entitled Today Was Awesome is worth checking out. I found the articles humorous and spontaneously splifferific. That is all.

The best thing that happened to me so far today (so in the last 46 minutes) happened when I logged onto the Official Elliott Smith Site for the first time in months. It looks like they have revamped it… and on wordpress! But, if you go there and look closely, they are using the same theme I am. Of course, Elliott is deceased and so its not like he chose the theme himself so its not like we have similar tastes in themes, but it made me happy.

I consider Elliott Smith to be one of the greatest song writers of this (well those of us that are 30s-ish) generation. His deceptively transparent rock style includes avante garde, atonal chord intervals and melodic/harmonic lines that beautifully intersect and make invisible spider webs. Some of his songs include “Miss Misery” which was featured in the film Good Will Hunting, “Needle in the Hay” which was featured in the film The Royal Tennenbaums, my favorite, “Condor Ave.”, “Somebody I Used to Know”, “Son of Sam”, “Baby Brittain”, and um, about 115 other songs.

Brief Bio

I’m not going to regurgitate his life history here, but you should go to the official site, Sweet Adeline, and read it. His life was pretty riddled with heavy heroin use and sordid developmental stages. It ended in the beginning of 2003 with multiple stab wounds to the chest. Although his death was originally reported as suicide, his close friends reported that Elliott was on the up-and-up at the time, and that he had shown progress in rehab. The case was reopenned to homicide investigations.

Anyhow….

If you are an Elliott Smith fan or would like to be introduced to music that is important to today’s musical landscape, check out the site. You will find tabs, lyrics, and even rare and free downloadable music files (some are mp3 some are .rm). There is enough music there to fill about 3 albums.

Caroline Brown is an environmentally sound sustainable gardening enthusiast, and I thought I would quickly plug her blog since I am sympathetic to the cause.

For those not familiar with the tenets of sustainable development, it is the practice of civil growth without allowing a deficit of available resources to develop, keeping future generations in mind. Check out her blog here if you are interested. It is a thoroughly written blog which shows obvious signs of tender loving care, which is more than I can say about my blog.

While on the subject of sustainable growth, Preston, Nate, and I are beginning work on an online retail store for alternative energy and conservation products. For those that are interested in sustainable growth and environmental science, I propose that there isn’t any realistic solution that isn’t market driven. In a more perfect world big business would be run by a huge group of people with big green hearts, but unfortunately this isn’t the case.

The new store will be Adombo.com. There’s a storefront there right now, but its just a beginning. Its going to change a lot in the next little while. Keep checking back!
