Why I Hate Blogger Software
I don't post blogs all that often, and just spent about 30 minutes writing about a wonderful new book called When You Ride Alone, You Ride with bin Laden by Bill Maher.
And then, I pressed the large type on the left side that said "Posts."
And, of course, I lost everything I wrote because I should have remembered to press the small blue button on the right that says "post and publish."
Weird. I've been writing Web pages in raw HTML since 1994, and it's the new technology that's fucking me over!

Why Blog?
I'm still not sure "why blog" when I've been writing Web pages since 1994. But, I thought I'd give it a shot. So, here's the continuation of the World's Slowest Blog (AKA: Laurie Mann's Home Page), begun in the fall of 1994, when the Web (and I) were both younger.
I actually had other tasks for today (today being a "non-work" day - due to the "tech recession" the best job I could find was a part time Web contract job), but I was somewhat taken aback by the news that Damon Knight had died. Yes, I know he was 79, so I shouldn't have been taken aback by much. Still, there are always those people whom you've only met occasionally that you hope to see more of in the future, despite their age. I felt that way very strongly about Damon.
Tax returns are done for another year. Actually, they were mostly done in February -- I like to send in returns for refunds early and hold the returns that need payment in mid-April. I do wish that that Post Office wouldn't be open extra hours on April 15. It just encourages the procrastinators.
