Given that the size of my readership can probably be counted by Emma (who is 2 and currently counts to ten like 3..2..1..7..8..9..10), I suppose my experiment (a.k.a. my previous post) falls on deaf liquid crystals, but I thought I’d try exporting a page of my journal from Microsoft Office OneNote that I’ve become quite fond of on my Tablet PC lately to my blog. I like the idea that I can just write when I want to write and then export out blog-appropriate stuff as I like. I suppose it looks kinda cool and theoretically makes things a bit more personal. Then again, maybe it’s just lame or trying too hard or pretentious. But I suppose I’m lame, try too hard, and am pretentious. That sums me up pretty well.
Anyone of the 2 or three of you who might have an opinion on the previous post, sound off, ok?
I suppose if I’m going to do it right, I should figure out how to make ink words hyperlinks. Image maps? Yeek.

Hey Bro! Been thinking about you more and more lately … I wish we talked more. My fault and my apologies for not calling sooner and not coming down - had a bad situation here at home although we are good now.
So I *dig* the One Note handwriting thing … most cool! IMO, go with it - then again, I too perhaps am lame, try too hard, and am pretentious … LOL!!
I know this will be a tough Holiday season. If you ever want / need to reach out to me, please do not hesitate. I am there for anything you need at any time. I know *everyone* says that but I really do mean it - I guess I don’t know how to express myself any better as I am a male in a society where males expressing emotion in front of others males is taboo. Anyway, just know that I care about you and your kids and if I can ever do anything for you I wouldn’t hesitate.
Peace Brother,
JB

In the 37 years I have known you, I can’t say that I would call you pretentious…
As for the previous post, the personal touch is cool. However, some of the writing is masked by the stuff on the left, so you will need to perfect the format. Then, you can call yourself a perfectionist….
Your cuz,
Heather

Yeah, never worry about what we think — just try cool new things.
Knoxville, TN? (Are there other Knoxvilles?) We’re down in Vicksburg, MS for the Thanksgiving and all grooving on Southern-ness.

I think I like it–you’re the first person I’ve seen blogging that way, so it struck me as unique rather than pretentious.
The font size could be a bit smaller though.

Heather - what browser are you using? I’m not seeing overlaps in Firefox or IE on my ‘puters
Fuzzy - Yeah, Knoxville, TN. Though there are a ton of Knoxvilles I found when trying to look up the weather there last week.
karrie - Heh. Font size. Guess I’ll try to write smaller. Or maybe shrink the image a bit.

I like it. I’s more personal, and more heartfelt.

Hi Jason,
Found your blog via Thordora’s page.
Can I just say I think the handwritten stuff is fab. You’re tempting me to try to analyse it though. If you want to try there’s a link for a site which gives you tips.

Its free.
Personally my own handwriting is way too messy to even think about posting it. My brain always seems to go that much faster than my hand. Maybe I could’ve been a doctor?
Best wishes
Mrs P
