Random randomness

Can I just say that it's just more fun to go to Facebook to update my blog than to weed through a bunch of Typepad mess? 

I get an email every day about my blog stats.  I know I'm supposed to care about those things, but I really kind of don't.  Wnat I do find fascinating are the "referring links" where people are coming from when they visit my blog.  Today, other than the usual Google/wikipedia fare, I got these:

The wife's blog:  Check it out.  She's really proud of it, and I'm really proud of her, so of course I'm proud of her blog.  I also take great pride in the fact that a few years ago she made fun of me for blogging and now she reads WAY more blogs than I do.  I usually find out about blog news from her!  Plus she does a great job keeping folks up to speed on our family, whereas I'm usually rambling on about Twitter and biodiesel...

Whittaker Woman:  I have a hard time navigating my personal blogosphere because I constantly forget how to spell things like "whittaker" and "ragamuffin" and "jarnagin".  I know you're dying to lecture me about RSS and feeds and whatnot.  I know.  I just don't DO.  Oh yeah.  Whittaker Woman.  She's this really cool gal - me and Steph hang out with her and her husband.  I think they're throwing some kind of mean kids' party manana.  (How do I make that little curly thing over the 'n'?  It looks like I just misspelled "banana"). 

Joel Stapleton:  I met Joel at GMA the other day - he plays in a band called Four Days Late.  Nice dude, cool blog.  Check it out.

The Fairfax:  You've heard me talk about Alice Bass on here before.  She's written a cool book about creativity and also runs a blog.  She does a great job of weaving her faith into her musings about life.

WhitTalk:  I had never heard of WhitTalk until I saw it on my stats email.  Apparently he lives in Atlanta.  I probably would know him if I saw him.  Anyway, you need to check out his blog.  It rocks.  Literally.  As in, you open the page and it plays music...

Spence Smith:  I recently said that I've known Doug Van Pelt longer than any other blogger besides the wife.  I was wrong.  I've actually known Spence since he saw a disastrous Third Day show in Memphis back in 1995...

Chad Jarnagin, aka the Blogstar:  Chad is one of the best singers I know.  He can flat out belt it.  Plus he wrote "Bless the Lord", one of my favorite worship songs ever.  He shares my love for baseball and cool music and often writes about both.

OK that was fun, even though I'm not sure exactly what it was...

the 'enye' on a Mac is done by pressing the option key down, and while holding press the letter n, followed by the letter n (or any other).

The accept mark, should you need it on a Mac is done by holding down the option key, followed by the letter E then the letter you want accented.

The best two ways to get a tilde or other unusual character:
1) Use your Apple Character Palette.
2) Find it somewhere else on the internet and copy and paste it in. This is what I usually do.

The Whitaker Woman link is wrong, just to let you know since I practically never check the links I put on my blog.
