Cool But Useless

Okay, here's the thing: There is an online editor that will send the stuff you write on it to a blog, or save it as a text file. What I don't understand is why should you add this layer to creating a text file when this can be done using notepad on any computer?

Why would you go to this site to load what you have written into a blog when you can just as easily go to the blog site itself and load it, with all of the onsite bells and whistles?

The way it works is neat. The why you would use it baffles me. It does remind me of the older monotone monitors. It gives you the choice of colors. Amber and Green are the colors that bring back the old days.

Wishlist Camera

2007-10-23T20:45:19Z

If you watch CSI, you will notice it is Nikon digital cameras that they use. All of the photographs you see displayed on this blog that were created by us in the last two years have been taken with the Nikon D50. The D80 is our wish list camera.

It was on a trip to Alaska that inspired us to get something more than a point and shoot camera. We took a point and shoot on the trip to Morocco and kept leaving it places. It was only through sheer luck and a fellow traveler who lived within driving distance of my brother that got that camera back to us.

I started with a Konika and a Leica SLR back in the late Sixties but once Nikon came into the picture it has been a fight between their SLR and the Elf point and shoot. For quality, it certainly is the Nikon, hands down.

These are not the opinion of a professional photographer, but of someone who took over a thousand photos in ten days along the coast of Alaska and up into the Yukon. Even with the 4Gig memory card, I still downloaded onto my laptop's auxiliary drive.

How Did We Find It?

2007-10-23T00:34:15Z

A question was asked of us via IM as to how we found Zoundry. The question was asked by someone who has been searching up and down with Google to find an offline editor for Vox. Not alone.

If you read further down, you'll see my futile attempts to get LiveWriter to work with this blog.

Didn't happen yet.

Back to the question.

In a rather round about way is the short version.

The long version is with the installation of Google Reader, linking Mashable.com along with 43Folders, LifeHacker etc. My nightly routine has become to go over the links, so nicely displayed in summary form, in Google Reader and look for the items I want to blog about, or save or share to the side bar link on Belltowernews.com.

Always on the lookout for blog editors, I came upon the link to The Ten Best Free Blog editors. Tried the ones I haven't tried yet, and Zoundry won.

I hope that answers the question.
