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.
