Wow, i guess people actually read these blogs. Or get notified somehow.  What a surprise.  So rather than whine about another petty annoyance, I'll just post a link to a funny article from a while ago listing a Top 10 of Creation Myths, to illustrate the 'one god further' idea mentioned on this page. A top 10 of many thousands of lovely stories no doubt.  The only line I at first didn't agree with in this article of LiveScience was this one: "Scientific research has come a long way since Charles Darwin first posited the concept of "natural selection", an idea as controversial now as it was back in 1859 when it was first published". This is not correct, there really IS no controversy in scientific circles.  A more pervasively and solidly confirmed and understood 'theory' from all sides of science is hard to imagine.  And yet, somehow, in many places in especially parts of American society this is apparently in doubt and up for discussion.  Too bad they don't mention mars-circling teapots, though i guess that's not a creation myth.  Well, I am off worshipping the behemoth cow, Auðumbla, She who emerged from the thaw and licked the god Bor and his wife into being.  Yup. This one is going to do some great stuff for me, I can feel it!  (and yes I know of the beauty and symbolism in these age-old stories, but then let's admire them all, and not just one - well, two actually that appear to be conflicting.  And let's certainly not 'believe' them.)

Ah great, they still didn't fix one of the most irritating things i ran into using this for 30 seconds when they first started Spaces: the images one inserts in a post become an 'album'.  Not only that, that album is visible and shows itself to all, and on top of that, it gets put at the top of the list of photo albums showing by default below.  Right.  That seems like something a user really intends to have happen.  There's my personal photo albums to share, and of course equal to those there is the 'album' of little images i inserted in a blog entry.  Just in case you wanted those as a slideshow. 

i also couldn't get a PNG with transparency to draw correctly btw, when inserted in the post.  GIF also failed.  Maybe incompatible with Photoshop.  Or PNG image support with transparency is less important than various lame 'Effects' on an image. Like the good old 'emboss'.  Or 'sepia'.  You too can be an 'artist'!  Well, I'm happy to see there are tons of other options and features i don't need, that i am sure will be well-liked by the hardcore bloggers who clearly want nothing but migrate their daily blogging to Windows Live Spaces.  Just the credibility you get from hosting your blog here alone is worth it.   Right.

After a looooong period of not using this blog site on Live Spaces, I am planning to restart it.  Let's see if the new tools and features of Windows Live will make blogging possible for me to keep up with now and then.  The Live Writer app appears to be quite strong making blogging itself convenient, and photo album publishing directly from the 'Windows Live Photo Gallery Beta' - very spiffy product naming as always from Microsoft - will make it an actually useful place to share out downloadable photo sets at full fidelity.  The latter feature alone would be worth reviving this weblog as a location to visit for me and friends one would think. We'll see.
