AVOID WINDOWS 8 BETA LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!

Unless you are a glutton for PC punishment (and "fun"), DO NOT DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL WINDOWS 8 BETA! It will mess with your programs, and force you to revert to your older version of Windows, and this may or may not go well...

You have been warned.

MONEY BLOG?

I still prefer Google Blogger to WordPress. I do not know for sure which came first. But I feel more comfortable if not intuitive using BlogSpot (or whatever it's called :).

Excuse me while I check on my toaster oven-baked honey wheat bread with spaghetti sauce and parmesan cheese. Mmmm...

While it cools, I will blog about waiting for God's direction in my life. I am betwixt two places: a job which gainfully employs me to make a living; and, doing odds and ends to scrape by (not that there's anything wrong with that).

With that, I will publish this post and hope for the best in terms of my pipe dream occupational choice of web design/copywriting, which for now means blogging ad infinitum.

Money cometh...

WEB DEZINE

A guy has to be careful when he is blogging his heart out because someone with managerial clout might see what he (I) has (have ) blogged about and find something reprehensible enough to disqualify him from consideration for employment.

That should not be my concern. But it is.

Nevertheless, I soldier on.

NEW LOOK

I went and updated the template to reflect desired changes in the colors and background of my blog. I hope they look good.

WINDOWS 8 BETA IS BETTA

I know. It's a corny headline. But then, corniness rules the Web, does it not?

I mean, how boring would it be if everyone spoke in straightforward, matter-of-fact terms such as dictionaries and encyclopedias? Bo-o-o-o-o-ring!

Which brings me to today's subject: Windows 8 Beta.

A rather adventurous, labyrinthine experience awaits you, of finding new ways to navigate your desktop and getting things done. Are you ready?

Are you XPerienced? Good enough.

Brace yourself (yourselves?). This is not for the PC faint of heart. It requires nerves of silicon! Got 'em?

OK. I have beaten around the proverbial bush long enough. Navigating around  Windows 8 Beta is like navigating a mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.), only on your desktop PC.  Lots of simply colored boxes and graphics make you want to open up everything in sight in order to see what happens. That's what "they" want, right?

I am still learning my way around Windows 8 Beta.. I think it is worth a try. "We" can work out the kinks later. One hopes.
