Odds and ends

Half Dome – Yosemite Musing

If you haven’t been to my website in a while, check it out. www.HikeHalfDome.com – I just added a video clip. It’s the upper level of Sub Dome. I did the hike in June with 3 Brits. You can tell from his accent. I use Yahoo Sitebuilder which I really like. If you are thinking of creating a website – try them. For $12 a month I get the URL, they host it, their tool provides 300 templates and they give 24 phone support. With real Americans on the other end. Best of all there is no html coding involved. WSIWIG – What you see is what you get. The software resides on your system (my laptop), so I can make changes pretty much in real time. Then when you “publish” it goes to the Yahoo server for assembly and web loading. You can make up your own look and feel. I have been playing music for a while on my home page and thought I’d try some video. The clip you see is off my Casio digital camera in Quicktime. I think it looks pretty good. Thought of adding video to the blog – but WordPress charges $60 a year to add video – nah. Lemme know what you think. I have a gob of short videos that I may add from time to time.

Unrelated thought worth quoting: “Who put the bomp in the bomp buh bomp buh bomp? Who put the ram in the rama lama ding dong? Who put the bop in the bop shoo bop shoo bop Who put the dip in the dip dee dip dee dip? Who was that man, I’d like to shake his hand . . . He made my baby fall in love with me.” – The Platters
