We Love Our Vacuum

Dyson DC14 Complete Here is our new vacuum cleaner. With tax it was about $600 which is 3x more than we've ever thought about spending on a vacuum cleaner. Why blog about a vacuum cleaner? Because it's the COOLEST thing we've bought since David came home with his iPod mini. Everything they say about it is true. It eliminates dirt that the old Hoover swore wasn't there. And boy do we need it with 145 pounds of black labradors lying on the carpet all day.

This one looks pretty good!

OK Here is another attempt to post from within Picasa2 to blogger. Maybe the third time is the charm.

This picture was taken in the Gulf around Fathers Day.

Here is a nice picture of Bentley. It's a little dark, but the brighter shots all show either a blue or gray haze in his eyes.

I kinda like this one. But we need to try more shots, probably some on the back porch and maybe the front yard.

Long trip to Taipei

Long trip to Taipei, but I’m learning how to travel it a bit better.  This time I brought two books which is good because I finished the first one on the way over.  I bought a neck pillow at the LA airport, which helped a great deal.

Blogger for Word

O.K.  This is pretty cool.

Eric should go to www.blogger.com and download “Blogger for Word” at this link:

http://buzz.blogger.com/bloggerforword.html  

Blogger for Word is a free add-in that makes it a snap to edit and post to a blog from Word.  When you install the program it adds a new menu into Word.  The menu items include:

Blogger Settings;  start here to tell the program your blog sign-on.

Open Post:  This is a real cool feature.  You can grab a post straight from your blog in order to edit it.  A drop down menu lets you choose what blog you want, and another lets you pick out which post to edit inside Word.

Save as Draft:  If you don’t want to post right away.

Publish:  Gives you the option of either Updating an existing post or Creating a New Post.

This is a really useful tool for playing with Blogger.
