Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith – no spoilers
I went to see the newest installment of the Star Wars series at the Metreon 9am on Thursday. Good flick. Probably my favorite since "The Empire Strikes Back". Understanding the story so far really helps a lot, though. Several of the people I saw it with were confused as to who was who and why they were acting certain ways.
Converting to wordpress
I'm moving my blog to WordPress due to multiple issues with Blogger. The last straw was the difficulty posting anything in <pre> or <code> elements.
So far I really like WordPress. There are some real site management tools, the editor is better, you can manage pages outside of the normal blog timestream, and it supports plugins. I still have a few things to work out, like the RSS feed, and, of course, the template design, but that's going to be fun for me. Also, I don't see any spell-checking functionality in the editor, but that may just be me.
Clean Hydrogen Fuel Cells for Boats
HaveBlue.com has come up with a brilliant, and upon seeing it, obvious technology - power boats with hydrogen fuel cells. Their technology uses the stuff the boat is floating on (good old H20) and solar, wind, or hydro-electric energy to create the hydrogen that is used in the fuel cell. Basically, instead of using batteries to store the generated power, you are using a fuel cell. The fuel cell powers the generator, either for electricity or locomotion. No diesel fuel needed.
More blogger issues
Blogger doesn't allow me to use <code> or <pre> in posts. That sucks. I'm working on XSLT stylesheets right now, and I want to blog about them, but I can't because entering the information is impossible.
The amazing thing is that you can include those types of elements in your comments, but I can't put them in my blog!
Everytime I think I've resolved all my blogger problems (comments, trackbacks, categories), another one pops up. So far I haven't found an acceptable work-around for this one. If you have any tips, let me know.
