Stepping into change

I don’t believe in blog titles because I believe they define the post and take away from its character. I want my blog to be taken as one single moment at a time. Content is not meant to be judged by its cover. Perhaps that’s why artists use untitled as the name of their work.

But besides that, I do sometimes hate change. I got a new phone with my cingular plan and didn’t like it. I returned it today to get a Nokia. 3 hours later, I decide that I want to return it.

I like my LG phone from Verizon. Even though it has no bluetooth. And this ridiculous winking smilie whenever I complete an action. But it really fit my needs.

I am thinking of switching back to b2 from wordpress. Even though wordpress has so much more functionality. I can finally use flickr and flock with it. I can manage my links more easily than the raw html I used to do. And furthermore, I won’t have to deal with any more spam comments again. But I don’t like how it does its search…the search page doesn’t even display all the content of the matching entries. I don’t like how I have to write my posts without being able to see my previous posts.

But this is me refusing to head toward the future. I hold onto the past, because my needs haven’t changed. I suddenly am rethinking my decision to move to the city because I want three-pronged electrical outlets and the ability to drive to Safeway, Wamu, and the Apple Store with only walking from the parking lot. But I gotta let the change happen and it’s my turn to adapt.

  1. LG > Nokia, I can agree with. But B2 >Wordpress? I’ll need a dictionary, some novels, a couple of calculators, and one of those bird thingy that keep dripping it’s beak into the water to figure it all out. =T

    Changes aren’t bad. You can’t refuse it forever.

  2. The change I talk about is when something simple is made complicated. Think about the phone. I just want to make a call. But now there’s PTT, speed dial, voice dial. And all this complexity. Some of it is nice. It hits the spot, but why.

    I am still frustrated with why I can’t add comments within the admin screen, having to go to my blog directly! This is like why some people prefer riding horses over driving a car. I managed my site for the longest time with a script that required a lot of php/mysql knowledge and now I don’t need that knowledge, but I lose so much control as a result.

  3. complexity such as web -> web 2.0, hmm? ;)

    good to see you took my hint.

    welcome to last year. ^_^

    (btw, i’d rather see you in the banner than a squatting monitor troll, lollers)
