Rodent Regatta

For the most part today, I’ve blown off any focus on this tool called Radio. Blog gravity is sure to drag me down the charts.
I went ”over to the other side” and looked at some incredible sites – a large number of which were done with Movable Type. Just as Russ Lipton sees a place for City Desk as well as Radio, the designers at Movable Type are top notch. One of them, Mena Trott, just won the weblog award at SXSW. Admittedly, these folks aren’t writing things like this:

RFC: MetaWeblog API. ”It’s time to broaden the XML-RPC pipe that tools use to connect to Radio, and in doing so offer an evolution to the art of scripting weblog tools.” 

But, I’m not struggling to understand their posts either. I guess it is all a matter of what we choose to write about, and to whom we’re attempting to appeal.
Having been away from this site most of the day, I’m typing something that again is appearing in Times. I’ve changed nothing today. We’ll see how this renders, but I’m beginning to think that things can be changed behind the scenes without an effort on my part. Maybe that’s what upstreaming, parts and update Radio.root really mean!
