Just start writing them offline in a text editor, then do a quick cut and paste. That way, you have an offline archive of each post in a small text file.

I use a good text/HTML editor (BBEdit), and it's much more powerful and stable than MT or the other blogging software, apparently.

Watch out, Ace. With all this hype, you're going to create some unrealistic expectations. Although, you could just pull a Markos and cite Hurricane Rita as the reason there's no post...

Ace-- something to tide you over? A little warporn, perhaps?

Ditto cirby's post. Composing in an HTML textarea is daft for longer than a few sentences because Web browsers are insane.

Get this. I happened to scan the BlogAds off to the side there the other day and noticed one offering pet insurance. I happen to have been meaning to look into this so I click on it and end up purchasing insurance for my two dogs. In other words, advertising on blogs actually works.

Hey, I'm as shocked as anyone but there you go.

Burk plans to protest new NHL ad campaign
ESPN.com news services

The NHL's new advertising campaign is getting attention, but not the kind it was likely hoping for.

According to a report from The Canadian Press, Martha Burk, the chair of the National Council of Women's Organizations, said she intends to write letters of protest to the NHL and NBC over the NHL's new ad campaign, which is set to begin next week.

The first spot, titled "It's Time," shows a player (an actor, not an NHL player) in a locker room, surrounded by candles and accompanied by a woman who ceremoniously helps him don his hockey garb. The ads feature quotes from Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" along with dramatic camera work and music reminiscent of the film "Braveheart."

Burk told The Canadian Press that the ad is "offensive on many levels."

"The woman is dressed provocatively and when she asks the player if he's ready, it's a double-entendre in my view," Burk told The CP. "She's in the ad as a groomer, a sex object.

Yeah! It's been down graded to a Cat 3.

My Tyra Banks pictures were such a big hit yesterday I thought you guys might enjoy my Friday Babe too.

Bad news: the levee broke and the 9th Ward is flooding again.

I like the $200,000 cash idea. That spreads the largess around the nation a lot more because a lot of them wouldn't come back.

offering pet insurance

Is there an arbitrage possibility here?

Like picking up strays, insuring them, then selling them to the local chinese restaurant, then collecting on the insurance?

You know...kinda like insuring up hobos then offing them in dumpster fires?

Dumpster fires scare ace, tony.
