Perpetual Thursday Ramblings, Rantings, Nonsense, and Bunk

A Giant Squid
Tuesday, April 11, 2006
I Squidoo. No really, I do. Go to: http://www.squidoo.com/perpetualthursday to find my new, first, and for the moment only operating Squdoo Lens, the Perpetual Thursday lens. There you can find an RSS feed for Perpetual Thursday, an RSS feed for the Father "X" Sermons, links to my websites, and a collection of products availible on Cafepress.com sold in shops I run (hopefully more to come). I hope to get my other lens, Desktop Publishing for Morons, running soon. But what is a Squidoo lens?

Well, a lens is, err... I'll let Squidoo explain it: "A lens is one person's (lensmaster's) view on a topic he cares about. More specifically, a lens is a single web page filled with information and links that point to other web pages, to continually updated RSS feeds, or to relevant advertising. It's a place to start, not finish." Ok, so there you have it. A lensmaster is a bit of a self-proclaimed 'expert' on a topic, in many cases, though some are truly experts, and others are just people creating a lens about nothing in particular. Take me for example, Desktop Publishing for Morons is going to be about, duh, desktop publishing, a subject on which I am a self-proclaimed expert. As for the Perpetual Thursday Lens, it's not on a particular subject, it's just kind of a fun little place to check out.

Before I forget to write it, I'll mention a couple changes to my blog I've made. I've added a "More..." button at the bottom of the XML feeds section on the sidebar, which links to a page with 23 additional (in addition the the Google and Yahoo) services that you can subscribe to Perpetual Thursday with, including del.ic.ious, My MSN, and My AOL. Also, at the end of each of my posts I've added a "Bookmark" area so you can instantly bookmark my posts with places like Digg. I'd like to thank TwisterMc for the Chicklet Creator and Social Bookmark Creator, the tools I used to help generate these sections.

I've got more, but I'll say it later. Let me wrap up this post with a link to watch over the comming weeks: http://www.alternative-internet.com/quezon/blog/
Quezon, a Blogger? You may well wonder. But well see. He'll be customizing his template and starting to post after Easter. Expect lots of cool pictures of Dragons. Also, take /blog/ off the end of that address to find what shall soon be Quezon's own mini-website thing, and the future home of Barg.

Owww! Too much technology in one post!

Okay, this is what I'm really thinking *looks around furtively* Hmm...what could Emily make a lens for? Dorks?...no, too dorky...anyway...

Your lens is kind of pointless. It's basically an ad for your blog, and you. But I forgive you. I'm sure it was fun to set up.

Quezon's blogging! Pardon me while I go dig a foxhole. This is too much.

How is that for a comment?
