I've decided to move the entire contents of this blog over to http://wildkard.wordpress.com/ . Make no mistake, blogger is a fine service... but the features that wordpress offers are just preferable to my own tastes and preferences. For the same reasons that I use gmail over other mail services, or that I use Google Earth over MapQuest... I'm making my choice here to use WordPress's features.
Cheers to Wordpress too for allowing me to import this entire blog over to their service, comments, tags and all.
As an aside, one of the main things that brought about this change was my looking for methods of image hosting on this blog. That lead me to take a look at Google's entry into this sector: Picasa Albums. Again... it seems to be a fine program, but it also seems to be a bit of an "odd duck" since it's the only google-owned service I can recall that doesn't allow operations (such as upload or album management) to be done over the web interface. Instead requiring a 23MB downloadable program (that only runs in Win2K, XP and Vista). This is "odd" because other google services, including Google Video and it's recently purchased twin, Youtube... have grown precisely because there was no barrier of entry of having to "download software" and do the administration from a single PC. In the new era of web services, Picasa needs an upgrade :)
