Boom Goes the Power

The transformer on the powerline outside our house just exploded (second time in a week).  I didn’t do it.  I swear.

Anyway, at least it’s in the 50’s with bright sunshine today.  Not a bad day to be forced outside to get some work done in the books.

I have about 25 books piled up beside my desk that I <strike>want</strike> need to read.  I also have a quiz from last week that I need to grade.  And I have about 1200 feed items that I need to pour through in my feed reader (Linux’s Liferea… thank God I keep an offline feed reader).  And, I have a major paper that I’m trying to write to claim that the Deuteronomistic History was written very late (close to the Maccabean period) by an pro-prophetic agency (not pro-monarchical or pro-priestly).  Fun stuff.

How am I blogging this you ask?  Linux’s cleverly titled “Drivel” blogging program.  I do most of my blogging here because it’s a clean and clear interface.  If you run Ubuntu (or any Gnome distro), I highly recommend.

Gosh, I want to check my email.  Oh wait… I have a smart phone!

UPDATE:  Lights are back on.  A squirrel was fried on top of the transformer, however.  Poor squirrel.

New Feed Address

Apologies to all, but with the move to a hosted WordPress blog, I’m also consolidating and changing my feeds.

So, the feed address you need to use is:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/samharrelson/GZMU

For those of you who don’t read feeds, for shame!  Try Google Reader, Newsgator, FeedDemon, Bloglines or any of the dozens of readers out there.  You can even subscribe to feeds on your personalized Google homepage, your Netvibes page or your My Yahoo page.  There’s no reason why you shouldn’t be using RSS!  It will change your life – trust me.

Thanks for your cooperation in switching over!
