I had a fab talk with the executive producer of a high-def video house in Chicago. Apparently, voice talent makes all the big bucks, 500$ an hour plus residuals. I outline for you his roadmap to riches in the voice industry, which I will follow to my sacks of money, hookers, and lines of blow.

I'm going to be on my third Western Digital Raptor 1500 HDD inside the Shuttle XPC. This time it was a S.M.A.R.T. disc failure I checked for in a not-so-routine disc scan, me being desperate to figure out why the puter was so sluggish booting.

I didn't realize that my test installation of Moveable Type would induce severe tool envy in my wife Cpu, but it did. As she explains it,

"Imagine you drive taxi. All your life, you have been saving up for a used taxi. You come home, and your spouse tells you they just decided to buy themself a new Mercedes cab, just for fun."

This on the heels of her Mother's Day gift, a python script that takes a Typepad text export file (in Moveable Type import/export format) and posts the entries to Blogger.

Guys are better at solving your problems then they are listening to your feelings, and I did a pretty good job of solving the Typepad => Blogger problem. Just didn't extrapolate completely. Also, she had not mentioned her dream of hosting Moveable Type somewhere for free, or we could have worked something out.

TiddlyWiki is pretty sweet, but it ain't web-log searchable. And, since it's not a bloggy-blog-blog, it's confusing for peeps. So, I bring you the webloggy goodness of MovableType. More to come later.
