US Army Makes Knee Jerk Decision on Blogging

A few years ago I had to hand it to the US Army.  To a certain extent they encouraged soldiers to blog.  For a long time, they were the only branch of the Department of Defense that even had a policy on blogging.  As far as I know, the US Air Force still doesn’t have [...]

I then unpacked the Widgets Theme Pack in the ‘themes’ directory, pick a theme, and off I went to do other things. Not so fast, after leaving the blog alone for about an hour I noticed [...]

Geotagging with Flickr

I had an amazing adventure around White Sands Missile Range yesterday and decided to geotag some pictures I took there.  Being new to the whole geotagging process I initially decided the best way to do it would be with Flickr’s Map system.  That couldn’t have been further from the truth.  Out of all the places [...]
