If I Only Had a Brain

Some things I was thinking this morning:

Technorati sucks. For a service that's supposed to be the arbiter of linkage, how in the hell can it be down so much? And how can you have 200 unique links one day and 150 the next? Or if you hit refresh, how can you get a different count? It seems like there's ample room for someone out there to do this right.

Gillette Fusion rocks. Yep, I bought a new set of blades for my sadly broken Gillette Fusion. $14.19 for four blades. I used the $2 coupon Acme sent, so that brought the per blade cost down to about 3 bucks. I honest-to-gosh have the smoothest face I've had since I started shaving. I'm giving out Gillette Fusion razors for Christmas. Or was that XBox?

Aimee Mann sings. I added some Aimee Mann songs to my iTunes. Wow, I really like her stuff. I didn't realize how much, but Jesster was playing her in rotation during the day, and several times I'd ask, "Who is that?" "Aimee Mann," she said. Patiently. Now I know.

Blogger sucks, too. I tried to publish this tiny story like five times. No luck. Dammit. I have been using blogger for this site for over two years, but I use a great hosting service and own the name separately. But...I'm not so sure I want to move off the platform. I've seen quite a few people move onto WordPress and lose their Google Page Rank. I'm not sure why that is, but it seems like Google takes care of its own first. I'm using WordPress for lots of other ventures - including my business blog - and have been super happy with it. But...I'm heading into 2,000+ posts and am not sure how those bad boys will transfer.
