Testing Blogpress

Testing out my Blogpress app for iPhone...
So far so good!
Story of this last Wed Nite Ride coming up.
Oh and I still have to post the story on the Every Trail app, and my first experience with mapping my ride.

Riding Today and This Last Weekend

Great day today... doin' my usual, takin' the bike with me (Jake) to do some ridin' later (CX).
Probably CF area, or some metros near Cleveland... I also was contemplating the Mayfield area metroparks. We'll see.
I ride none the less, but today I'm making it more of a point, because to no surprise, it looks as if it is going to rain tomorrow... therefore nixing our weekly Wed Nite Ride.

I also will be trying out the EveryTrail app (iPhone) on today's ride. I'm excited to do so, we'll see how that goes.

This last weekend was a fun and eventful one. Friday I went to a get together at a (new) friends house, having food and drinks with a good group of people. They are new friends that I had met via some old friends, from around the Chagrin Falls arena. Following that we went to the Greenville and had more drinks and fun. Good people, good times. Here's to more.
Saturday was a bit of work and then I had to go to a memorial service
in the afternoon for one of my long time friends (for his mother to be exact). It was a very nice service, and following that we went to... the Ville! Yes! His mom was friends with the old owners of it, so they had an after party there. I already had a ride going on at 7pm that night, but everything meshed well. So we all ventured on to the Ville after, and I stayed there for a short bit, having to leave soon for the road ride (which was in Chagrin with the bike shop, mtnroadcycles.com). It looked grey out at first, but by ride time the sky opened up and we had a great ride- about 12 miles around the Chagrin area. We rode Washington to Savage, cutting over to Chagrin Bainbridge Road, then, lol, down into town right by the VILLE... continuing into town then around the neighborhoods, out Franklin, cutting off down the metropark trails to River, Solon, Cannon, and back into Chagrin.
We then as planned, went to Trifles restaurant next door for excellent food and drink (and actually Dori was there with a party herself for a friends bday). Stayed there a bit, chatted, ate, drank one, then was back to the Ville to meet back up with the party from earlier. I drank a good amount. Jack was involved. Some people left, I stayed with some other friends and had again a great time. I was done by night's end! Again more good times.
Needless to say, I did NOTHING Sunday. We didn't have practice either. It was a lazy day... 'I did nothing and it was the best thing I ever did' (Office Space :-P)

Blog Services / Apps, Trail Tracking and App for That

I'll start off right quick with the short and sweet...
Found an app for iPhone called Everytrail for tracking bike ride time and such, as well as being able to shoot pics on the trip and post them to your own account on their site (which is everytrail.com), and it is set up as a slide show to show the pix from the trips. I will be trying this out soon. See site for more details.
There's also an app for Facebook for Everytrail, or you can 'share' right off Every's web site.
Doing some research about another iPhone app, I came across apptism.com (should be fairly obvious what that is about :-P)
Oh and I have an iPhone app installed that gives me a mouse and keyboard to control my computer! ;-)

And finally, blogging. As I had said, I have a set up to be able to do so via mobile and post to directly Blogger and Facecrook simultaneously... but I'm still on the hunt for an iPhone app possibly, that does this- One I've found is Blogpress... it looks good and has good reviews... but it's a pay app. Now, I have no issue with paying for apps, but sometimes it's a waste of money. Usually there's a 'lite' version that's free to get the gist of it, but for this one there is not. It's three bucks and I will probably just get it... it's only three clams. But I'm also a person who's big on principal! I've tried some of the free ones, and after time they aren't anything great. Or there's some hook, like the app is free, but you have to buy an account on their website to use it. Not interested. At that point I'll just stick with the Blogger set up.
And wit that, the next subject... blog services. I use blogger. I have Gmail. It's a nice knit. Live Journal. Pttht. I have Wordpress (iPhone app as well)... I don't know if, for my habits of use of this, using Blogger is just as fine. And then of course there's just many other services and apps, and ... tired. Any insight on this would be appreciated.

MY brain stopped (Prob due to two nights at the Ville haha). So we're done here. :-P

My take on an ideal mate

I was chatting online with a friend whom was mentioning getting a domain name for a website she wants to start for herself and her culinary arts / business.
She also was mentioning looking for a website as a sort of example of the basics of how she wants her site (the layout and design, etc)...

I said, (having a creative edge and eye for good design) "Simple to the point and not gay, but attractive and well done."

She concurred. I then said, "Sort of how I like my women!"
Which really, is true.

She then said, "Simple?"
I said, "Well, not complicated... maybe a little complexity... diversity"
I put those ideas together and finished by saying, "Simple with a touch of complexity and a good dose of diversity."

She replied, "Good recipe."

Exactly. Great minds know and think alike.

Myspace Ad AGAIN

I'm really tired of seeing that ad I mentioned of previously on my Myspace home page for 'Buddhist Punk Shoes'.

Who is this lame ass who writes this crap?

Probably the same twit who did the rewrite for Windows Vista.

Sigh.

RBR!

r00ts... BL00DY R00TS!
