I have been using ecto as a blogging tool for the past two weeks – decided this morning to register it.
A great piece of software – and apparently there is now a windows version available as well. Get it now 🙂

Seven Wonders
So long ago
Certain time
Certain place
Tyou touched my hand
All the way
All the way down to emmiline
But if our paths never cross
Well you know I’m sorry but
If I live to see the seven wonders
I’ll make a path to the rainbow’s end
I’ll never live to match the beauty again
The rainbow’s end
So it’s hard to find
Someone with that kind of intensity
You touched my hand I played it cool
And you reached out your hand for me
But if our paths never cross
Well you know I’m sorry but
If I live to see the seven wonders
I’ll make a path to the rainbow’s end
I’ll never live to match the beauty again
The rainbow’s end
– Fleetwood Mac, Seven Wonders
Blackfive: Taking Chance Home
Blackfive posts a letter from Marine LTC Strobl outlining his experiences and emotions at escorting the body of Marine LCPL Chance Phelps to his home in Dubois, Wyoming.
From Dover to Philadelphia; Philadelphia to Minneapolis; Minneapolis to Billings; Billings to Riverton; and Riverton to Dubois we had been together. Now, as I watched them carry him the final 15 yards, I was choking up. I felt that, as long as he was still moving, he was somehow still alive.
Then they put him down above his grave. He had stopped moving.
Although my mission had been officially complete once I turned him over to the funeral director at the Billings airport, it was his placement at his grave that really concluded it in my mind. Now, he was home to stay and I suddenly felt at once sad, relieved, and useless.
Jordan Disrupts Major Al-Qaeda Plot
CNN is reporting that a major al Qaeda plot has been disrupted in Jordan:
Jordanian authorities said Monday they have broken up an alleged al Qaeda plot that would have unleashed a deadly cloud of chemicals in the heart of Jordan’s capital, Amman.
The plot would have been more deadly than anything al Qaeda has done before, including the September 11 attacks, according to the Jordanian government.
Among the alleged targets were the U.S. Embassy, the Jordanian prime minister’s office and the headquarters of Jordanian intelligence.
The threat is real – and growing.

More than Two Years Now
Hey, just realized that I’ve been blogging for more than two years now. Cool!
i started off with Radio Userland – a great product, and later switched to Movable Type, another great product. Now I post mostly via Ecto to my movable type blog – a great combination that works well with my Apple Powerbook.
Here’s to a few more years of blogging!
