Why Not Twitter?
Text messaging is all the rage, and I've got a smartphone with a QUERTY keyboard. Naturally, I looked into using Twitter to blog from, as it's natively mobile-aware, but also allows for standard web-based posting.
The biggest reason why I didn't embrace it is the message size limitation. I might be doing something wrong, but I can't send MMS messages to Twitter. And standard text limits you to 160 characters, which is absurd for any substantial amount of writing.
What I have figured out is how to send MMS messages to Blogger. So, figure out how to get RSS feeds on your mobile device if you want to read this blog on your phone, because that's what I'm going to use for now.

Starting Over
While I was in the process of moving, my domain name came up for renewal. It wasn't a priority at the time, and now it's gone. Someone else grabbed it, and the new page is in Chinese.
My old blog was saved to it, so that's gone too. I'm not really bothered too much by it - I would have liked to have kept the domain name, but it wasn't that important.
We're starting over in Arizona. It's as good a time as any to re-start my blog.
