So I got a Vox account and did an initial setup. There isn't a whole lot about it that I don't like. If it continues to grow in popularity and response time suffers, that will be at the top of the list. But there is a lot to like:
- Flickr-like controls on posts and uploads (friends, family, friends & family, everyone)
- It's hosted, so I don't have to take care of the software (MT 3.33 security upgrade anyone?)
- The built-in themes are numerous and quite nice
- There are prompts to get you to write each day and from there inertia will usually take over
I'm not sure how I would deal with my 5 year archive of posts that live here if I decided to exclusive use Vox. Also, I don't see any way currently of getting my information out of Vox. So, I guess my "don't like" list already has one item on it.

So I'm goofing off on the internets waiting for some public domain files to finish downloading through bittorrent and I wander off to read Warren Ellis' blog and what do I find?
Scott Dunbier says all the pages for PLANETARY #26 are in. That means the story is now over -- we’re doing an "aftermath" issue at a later date, but now, to all intents and purposes, PLANETARY is complete.
Exsqueeze me? Complete? How? How can this be? Pardon my Frech, but fuck that.
Yes, yes...he's an artist and he can do what he damn well pleases and if I don't like it I can go get bent. We'll, I think it's obvious I'm already bent. Sure, I've been buying all the other titles he has been doing, and yeah, Fell is pretty good. But the story he was building in Planetary just really sucked me in. Sure, he's tired of working on it and he wants to move on. What else can I say except I think that blows goats.

Sadly, being a technology pundit is truly never having to say your sorry. You can be wrong for years and never lose your job.

"How can you teach biotechnology in this country when you don't even accept evolution?" Good question...
I've decided that I really don't like them that much.
That is all.
