radiomatthew.wordpress.com

This is the third attempt I’ve made at creating a blog somewhere. If you’re my family or friends viewing yet another place, I’m sorry I’ve pulled you in three different directions over the past two years. I swear (or at least promise) that I’ll attempt to make this more permanent.

You’ve probably noticed a few things different about this place than the other one. First off, there’s more photos, and they’re hosted elsewhere. I’ve been using Flickr (link) to host my photos for a while now, and it’s nice to find a place online that will automatically update my photos.

The second major difference is the lack of music. This is because those small handfuls of people who wrote to me mostly complained about the music either being too loud or automatically starting. A third complaint was by people who haven’t figured out that it’s no longer 1997 and are connecting using dial-up. Put away your Pokémon cards and Cabbage Patch kids, and join us in 2006 where KT Tunstall rocks the airwaves and cable TV once again needs a set-top box. If you really miss the music, go to Wal-Mart and buy a $5 clock radio. Turn it on when you read my blog. It’s, essentially, the same thing.

The third major difference is the lack of my name being in the URL. Instead, it says Radio Matthew. This is because I pulled my head out of my butt, and the extra space allowed for the growth of a creative bone. If you can live with that mental image, you’ll fit in perfectly with the writings in this blog. The last difference (I’ll throw it in this paragraph, why not?) is that links are now enclosed in brackets. Too many people did understand that a word highlighted in a different color with a line under it was a link, so I’ve given the stupid people of the world (or just those on AOL, take your pick) some help.

Welcome to the new place. Place all housewarming plants in a corner, pull up an armchair (actually, we’re still using crates until I can go to IKEA, so sit on one of those), turn on your clock radio and enjoy.
