Moving MovableType from 2.x to 3

If you plan on moving from MovableType version 2.x to version 3, I’d keep this guide handy. I still am probably going to be migrating to WordPress at some point, but I’m keeping this handy in case I change my mind. Link from Neil’s Smaller World.

Newt Gingrich Among Top 500 Amazon.com Book Reviewers

Former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich, has been ranked the 488th top book reviewer on Amazon.com. He did that by writing 137 book reviews that were marked as “helpful” by 2,002 people. I guess he has a lot of time on his hands now that he no longer has a vast, right-wing conspiracy to run.

Ken’s a Stud

Not only is my good bud Ken a Spoiled Little Bitch, but his G4TechTV rant got him a mention in a Wired article. And to think he wouldn’t have started that blog o’ his without me harrasing him to start one ;-).

Update 6/17: I got a couple more invites over night, so I’m now jakeortman and utterlyboring. So if you ever need to send me big ol’ files, you’re welcome to fill either of those accounts.
