verbal's rants

I wasn’t sure if I heard Marlon right when he was talking about Mandy Moore doing Umbrella at Music in the Park. But I guess she could have since Yahoo! has her doing a cover of that song. It doesn’t sound half bad.

But honestly, all I could think about as the video progressed was “Damn, how close do you need to be to the microphone?”

How many email addresses do you have?  What are they for? 
Submitted by clippedwings.

Four active ones.

I have an old @yahoo.com address that people still write to me at.

I have three domain email address @janella.com.  One is my personal email.  Another is for online purchases. The last one is for registering for web sites.

OK, last I heard, Facebook was the new MySpace.   At least that was what I heard.

I then go surfing last night looking for Wordpress themes for my main blog and I stumble upon Virb.  I thought, cool looking site and all, but wasn't sure what it was (plus, I was just looking for Wordpress themes).  I then listen to the Mac Break Weekly and find out it's the Virb that is the new MySpace.  (When is Vox getting into this mix?  Yeah, I suppose they're not after the MySpace crowd, but Vox is pretty cool.)

So, of course I sign up.  Not much there yet, but it's pretty cool and customizable as heck.  Very Web 2.0.  There's a good slant on music, photos and videos there.  The basic design is clean, but like I mentioned, you can customize the style through WYSIWYG interface or through stylesheets and more.  Pretty straightforward stuff.  Give it a twirl.

I've been on Vox for a while now and I have enjoyed it.  I've met new people and reconnected with old friends.  But lately I've been yearning to go back to the my old Wordpress (WP) install at my domain.  I think I miss the thing I used to complain about - maintaining a website!  It's part of the reason why I haven't been posting often, because I have been prepping the WP install and cleaning up some pages on the Janella.com  If you wish to continue to read most of my mundane blog postings then visit:

I won't totally abandon Vox.  I view my account like my Flickr account, where I interact with new friends and acquaintances.  I enjoy reading all the postings from my neighbors here on Vox.  They write so much better than me! I will continue coming here daily - posting less often but reading and commenting on others' postings.
