Darwin Fish and Updates

About a week and a half ago I saw one too many Jesus Fish around town. Now, generally I don't really give a hoot what you put on your car, but these stupid things have always bothered me, I don't know why. In any case I have also seen a few of the Darwin Fish floating around, one thing I've always found clever is turning someones own symbol against them, so I decided to order one. Unlike bumper stickers, car plaques are way more elegant looking and, hopefully, don't ruin your paint. All in all, it was a pretty simple procedure through a great website called Evolve Fish, and when all said and done it only cost me about 8 bucks with shipping! There's a whole host of other neat stuff on their website, so if you're interested check em out here: http://www.evolvefish.com/

I will not go into any of my religious beliefs or even slander anyone else's for that matter, especially since this is from my phone. That is for another blog all together. Suffice to say, I do not like organized religion--if you wanna believe do it on your own terms, not someone else's--and I really do believe in evolution over that whole creationism stuff. I am also somewhat outspoken about my opinions, so the Darwin Fish fits just fine. Hell, when it has turned belly up I found this sweet Alien head car plaque that I might buy. Take it as you will, but I think it looks pretty snazzy myself!

Now for the real meat of my post: updates. I said I was going to be posting more so never fear! I have several blogs in the works, all of which I hope are somewhat interesting anyway. The big kahuna of them all, though, is my second Ry Recommends post. It’s been a little less than a year and a half since I last did one of these, and damn do I have a lot to talk about! Sadly the blurbs about each book are not very short, but I think it’s turning out well. My other projects include a new series of posts looking into the various genres, sci-fi, fantasy, mystery, and the like which will then lead into a couple in depth looks at some of the sub-genres out there like cyberpunk and dystopian literature. On top of all that I have a few more full posts about some of the books and series I’ve read recently which’ll be fun to write up as well. Seeing as it’s my spring break I hope to get a least a couple blogs out before Monday, but we’ll see.

Until then, to infinity and beyond!

New Blog App

As everyone knows I am rather sketchy about updates and I believe part of the reason stems from the fact that I tend to be horribly long winded. So, in an attempt to combat that, I have installed something called Blogaway onto my G1.

Essentially, it's a simple blogger application where you can post new blogs, work on drafts--although not drafts you started on the computer unfortunately--,and view other blogs you follow. It also looks like it allows you to post pictures, which I'm going to test out here in a few. So far I have no serious beef with set up or function, people seem to forget that even though their phone has Google's Android OS, it's still a phone. I would like to actually be able to work on posts started on the computer and view my previous posts, but for now that function seems to still be on the drawing board. Also, it looks as though my labels aren't integrated into the functionality, which really sucks. I'll post this and see what it looks like in the actual browser.

Hmm I don't know where the image is gonna show up either.. weird. Anyway, i may post more but my spelling will probably die.. I'll go back and edit stuff from the computer too, but i can see this being a really useful application for when an idea strikes me on the go! Plus, I hope this will teach me to be a little bit more concise since typing, even on a full QWERTY, is kinda hard. Thus begins the era of the microblog!

*edit* So it would appear that I haven't quite figured out how the pictures work. It says "forbidden" when I try, which is rather strange, but you know.. the maiden voyage always has some glitches. I think I'll tag all the posts I make from here with "microblog", not that anyone really reads these, so it's easy to sort for you and me.
