I didn’t know that Jimmy Stewart and John Travolta did a movie together
I guess I was wrong. From NTK.
TypePad’s Features and Prices Have Been Set
For those who don’t know, TypePad is the new service by Six Apart, the creators of Movable Type, the software that powers this site. What is TypePad? To quote their site:
TypePad is an upcoming hosted service providing powerful tools for creating full-featured weblogs. Built in response to the needs of webloggers, online diarists and writers, TypePad harnesses the power of Six Apart’s popular Movable Type personal publishing system into a simple service, suitable for beginners and experts alike.
The features and prices have been set for the service.
What are my thoughts? I won’t comment on the business aspects of this (though I think the prices are a bit steep, but I guess you are paying for the software and support), I kind of wonder where this leaves Movable Type supporters? There are some compelling features that have yet to be smoothly integrated into the main Movable Type distribution, and I can understand their reasoning for not including them in the free product, but why not for supporters?
I have no intention on moving my blog to a server that is not under my complete control. I would pay (and have) for a “Pro” version of a product, and there have been mumbles in the MT Support Forums for some time that a Pro version of MT is coming. But when are we going to see it? I’m a Movable Type supporter, as it’s a great product, but I worry that with TypePad, Six Apart is going to be moving towards providing the best and newest features to users of their services, and rely on plug-in developers to add all the other features to the main distro. I hope that isn’t the case, but only time will tell.
Update on 8/5: MT guru Richard has a good review of TypePad, as well as links to other reviews.
This is what would happen if my wife was a stripper
Another gem from The Smoking Gun:
Early Saturday morning, David Buhler, 23, and a buddy visited The School House, a southern Michigan topless club, where the guys repaired to a couch to enjoy some adult entertainment. There they were approached by Kasey Ann Colvin, a 20-year-old stripper who hovered over Buhler and asked, “Do you want some of this?” According to the below Jackson Police Department report, Colvin, who had recently given birth, then shot something “out of her breast in a white milky form striking Buhler in the face going into his eyes and by his nose.” Believing he’d been slimed with mother’s milk, Buhler became angry and contacted the club manager, who apologized and offered him free soft drinks and lap dances.
Why aren’t there any baby planes?
Thanks to Shasta-Bob for this joke:
A mother and her son were flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago. The son turned to his mother and asked, “If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don’t big planes have baby planes?”
The mother (who couldn’t think of an answer) told her son to ask the stewardess. So the boy asked the stewardess, “If big dogs have
baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don’t big planes have baby planes?”
The stewardess responded, “Did your mother tell you to ask me?” The boy admitted that this was the case.”Well, then, tell your mother that
there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time — now let your mother explain that to you.”

Leave it to a lawyer with too much time on his hands and the Smoking Gun to come up with this gem of a court filing.
Woman spends $600 on ad for beloved missing cat
You know, this idiot could certainly just give me that $600, and I’ll catch her one of the three or four kittens that live under my shed. I can’t seem to get rid of them. Stupid things.
Record hailstone reported in Nebraska storm
If the biggest one was this big, I’d hate to see what the rest of the hailstones looked like (even if they were a quarter of the size, they’d still do some serious damage).
Obligatory Baby Pics
OK, I promise this is the last baby post for a while. I’ve gotten some pics and threw them online. Instead of trying to create some cool image pop up thing and posting it in this entry, I just posted them under my other domain, using Photoshop’s web gallery plug in.
So head over to: www.jakeortman.com/michelle to see the pictures.
Sorry about the quality on a few of them, but my Canon AE1 was set to ISO 400 when I actually had 800 loaded in there. I love old manual cameras, but they’re easy to screw up stuff like that. That, and that film had been sitting in there for quite a while, so several of the pics there were taken with Lydia’s point-and-shoot instead.
OK, now time to clear out my inbox now that I’m back at work.
