Vacation delayed due to rain...



Boy, when it rains in Boston it sure rains. :) 3 inches so far. It was raining when we got up this morning but only sprinkling when we set out.
We went to the Peabody museum on Harvard's campus. It is the oldest anthropological museum in the United States. It's not just limited to that. There is also a huge natural history section. They have hundreds of plants, animals and minerals on display. Even dinosaur bones and meteorites.



So even though we got soaked walking to lunch we just had to grin and bear it... ;)
Speaking of lunch, we ate at Bartley's, yet another of Boston's world famous placed to eat. It is a burger joint with burgers over an inch thick. That's just the meat... All of the burgers are named after famous people like the Dick Channey or the Janet Jackson. I had the Mr. Jack Bartley, a basic bacon cheese burger. I remember seeing this place on one of those PBS food travel shows.

A few months ago I dusted off this blog which I had not touched since 2011. The reason? I was prompted by an article written by Mike Elgan about how famed podcaster and internet host Leo Laporte was dropping social media all together. No Facebook, no Twitter, not even an Instagram. Leo retreated to the safety and security of his own blogs. A world totally under his control. That got me thinking about my terribly limited use of social media (i.e Google+) and why I even bother using it. My engagement on the once flourishing Google+ had all but dried up. I really only communicate regularly with three or four people on the platform these days. All of this lead me to examine the reasons I still bother to post anything to Google+ and the answers were pretty simple. The primary use? To share photos of our travels and grandpuppy with our family. The others? To read the news and to share and converse about things that I like and that matter to me. Then came the announcement that Goo...

The end of an era...

I received an email today from Blogger informing me that as of March 26th they will no longer support FTP blog publishing. My blog has been powered by Blogger since 2004 and FTPed to my hosting service. I really don't know exactly what I plan to do. This site can remain exactly as it is but I will no longer be able to update it via Blogger. For the time being I plan to move this blog over to http://batcaveweb.blogspot.com . Google supports custom domains and such but I'm not really sure I want to continue to use Blogger after this change. I will loose all of my custom sub-pages and a whole lot of customization ability. The same goes for the Istari blog. I will be moving it over to http://istariguild.blogspot.com . I may at some point use the custom domain option to redirect batcaveweb to the Blogger server but I doubt it. I will probably have to start from scratch and move to some custom content system. However, I really don't use my blog all that much these days so...
