I learned of a site which allows you to create Manga avatars of yourself from Dan Pink’s site.  The site is called FaceYourManga.

Dan Pink wrote his last book, the Adventures Of Johnny Bunko, entirely in Manga.  It was a very good book and very ejoyable.

Here is my Manga.  I had help from my son who pointed out that (1) I always wear a baseball cap when I’m home, (2) my beard is not the same colour as my hair, and (3) I’m always sitting down.

A few months ago, I started to realise that everyone I know has a Facebook account.  These weren’t just kids– well, some are twenty-somethings, but people may age and older have them too.  I have this site, so why would I want to maintain a Facebook page too?

But I set up an account to see what it was like.  I prefer the blog site better.

A few days ago a friend from high school contacted me when she found my empty Facebook page.  I hadn’t talked to her since High School– she asked if I was still in the Army.  We caught up on how our lives had progressed in the last 15 years and I spent the most of the day thinking about my time at Central High School in Springfield, Massachusetts.

So, I’m trying to customise my wall and am enjoying doing it.  It’s eating some of my early morning time, now.  Since baseball ended (for the Padres), I had been spending most of my time coding Silverlight to pick up some of those skills.  I’ll go back to that soon.

Now, I’m going to see how to integrate this blog site into my Facebook page.  There are several WordPress plugins out there . . .

If you have an rss feed. To this site or found it through a broken google link, you will find that many of the links have changed. Sorry about that,

I’ve just migrated all of my content from dasBlog back to WordPress. The primary reason for this is so I can play wit the worldpress app on the iPhone. My old method of mobile blogging with my old phone on WM5 was not very reliable.

Now I can upload picture straight from my phone.
