Blogging Platform Wars!

 So I found this infographic just fascinating.
These were the stats from 2009 according to Problogger. Of course, self-hosted Wordpress is growing like a well-water lawn. The best part is the click through to see that while Wordpress.org is growing by leaps and bounds, Wordpress.com declined since 2007. 

Even more astonishing is that Blogger GREW! I love Blogspot myself and have done several sites using the platform.

Of course, I'm using Posterous right now because I wanted to give it fair shot. 
I am REALLY contemplating bagging this platform. I like it, but it does not offer enough toys to work with and is expressly hard to customize. 

Thoughts? What about Tumblr? Think it will expand and what happens with the news about Typepad and Moveable Type?

New Life

  It's weird, sad and slightly freeing. I've been headed towards a completely different life for a lot longer than I even knew. It took me a while to catch up to realize it was happening.  Thankfully, I was cognizant enough to see it finally and mostly ready for it. It's amazing when you have the rug completely pulled out from underneath you. The adjustments are jarring.  I made mistakes, but like most I learned from them, adapted, and tried my best to do better. The reason you see that truck next to a storage place? That's the sum of my life right now.  Never take for granted that you will work hard for something or someone, and it will end up meaning very little. You are guaranteed nothing, owed nothing, promised nothing. Anything and everything can be taken away in a heartbeat.  I wrote this to my kids a while back: I tried to be the best father I could be based on what I knew when I knew it and how I could. One of the lessons for your life needs to be: you n...
