I have just finished an externally imposed hiatus from this blog. Somehow, my WordPress installation was corrupted while upgrading to the latest version. The net result is that I have been forced to screw around with the Htaccess file, the database, reinstalling WordPress, and looking through as much code as I could find on my [...]
My latest idea has been to change riehler blog into riehler weblog. This simple change in nomenclature has deeper components than just a revisionist return to the original term for this activity. I found that Maria Popova’s Brainpickings site to be inspirational, in that her moniker (‘interestingness’) lead me to consider some of the underpinnings [...]
If you want to be a real pioneer on the iPad, here are some great posts to direct you towards but for now, it is in the realm of explorers and discoverers. In the following three articles, you can see (especially if you read them in their entirety) that using the iPad (ONLY the iPad) [...]
This is my first chance to use the new blogging app (Blogsy) for the iPad. I’ve written about how the iPad works really well for consuming content, but creation of content, as well as most productivity tasks to be more bother than it was worth…that is, until I tried this app… i don’t know how [...]
Oh this blog, I have been trying to do things a bit differently from all of the other sites I check (on a daily basis). I make no claim to have any real expertise on anything, but I do like to ask questions. I have been trying to present far more questions than answers on [...]
I’ve written about this before, but I can see that this must be such a juicy topic that there are a number of technocrats in the gadget world who just can’t keep away from it. The trope that ‘blogging is dead’ is mostly good for grabbing readers, but so far, of little else. I have [...]
I saw a couple posts considering this idea…again. It seems that this trope come around every year or so…I don’t give it much mind, other than the obvious fact that most of it is covered by (you got it!) blogs. This latest version of the coming demise of blogging is based upon: the idea that [...]
I read a lot of blogs every day (50-150 a day!), and I have found some interesting things about this form of communication. There are some things which describe a huge percentage of blogs. For instance (with the exception of most food blogs), the vast majority of blogs I read, whether they are about modern [...]
The term phase II refers to the fact that this blog, now over 6 months old, is in need of some revamping. As you can see from the new (interim) theme, I have streamlined a number of things (some of these things may be rather esoteric, and ‘behind the curtain’)which should make reading whatever I [...]
For today, I can finally take a little time to evaluate and compare the free blogs I have set up in the last week. I have sites at WordPress.com, Blogger, and Windows Live Spaces. TO make this ‘taste test’ as fair as possible, I posted to all three blogs using the same software (Windows Live [...]
