New Look

Monday, May 21st, 2007

I’ve upgraded the version of WordPress, and the old theme wasn’t really being updated anymore, so I switched to this new theme. I like the minimalist look, and I plan on writing some more again on the new site, and perhaps taking advantage of some of the new features.

I’ve also change the copyright to a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license.

I’ve been using delicious for my own bookmarks, so the links on this page will be phased out in favour of more unique links.

I’m also happy to report that this is one of the first times that my content was completely preserved between upgrades, so the entire previous history of posts and comments have been maintained.

Captain Oats at Silly Pipe Dreams has just posted a nice interview with JJ Philbin, former writer of MADtv, SNL, and Dead Like Me. She’s now a popular writer for The OC. Oh and she’s the daughter of Regis. And she’s married to a writer from The Office.

CBC Radio 3 reports on the winners of the 6th annual weblog awards (the Bloggies).

The awards for best new weblog and weblog of the year went to PostSecret, a site where people mail in anonymous home-made post cards. They are then posted up on the blog for all to see. There are also awards for various general interests (food, technology, entertainment, politics) and for many regions (Africa and Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, Britain and Ireland, Canada, Continental Europe). The rest of the winners along with the nominees are also listed on the official site.
