Every time I need to talk to Qwest (our ISP) about anything I get the same thing: in their focus to upsell me with bundled packages they forget all about why I actually called.

UrbanPotato got tiring. It’s tiring to look at and tiring to manage. Comments died long ago due to spam. Uploading pictures and editing content is a chore. So it languished and I moved most of my updates to Facebook. But Facebook has its limitations. It’s hard to write witty prose in your status updates. It’s hard to have a creative outlet when your look and feel is dictated by someone else. With Facebook, I belong to one of the many. It’s great to be part of the group, but it’s hard to have a unique voice.
Today, UrbanPotato gets an update. Gone is the hand-crafted-in-another-life “LiveCast” blog engine I wrote so many moons ago. I’m too busy these days to update that code. In its place I’m now running the excellent BlogEngine.NET, originally written by Mads Kristensen and now maintained a horde of talented developers. It's flexible and simple enough that I could easily make it do what I want, and I can post using Word or Live Writer instead of a bad web interface.

What's in this hole?
It's slow going when walking by a wall containing regularly spaced drainage pipes. You've got to check out each and every one.

Boy likes popcorn. And music. Here he is at Bumbershoot checking out a band.
Off to the races
Cole takes a breather from betting on the ponies for some yummy ice cream.
Log Log
Cole loved to play in the driftwood at Camano Island.
Boy
Never come between a boy and his cupcake.
Is this one big enough
