We watched
Titanic after a long time. Mainly we wanted our 10-year-old son to see it. We agonized over whether it was appropriate because of that portrait scene followed by the ‘steamy’ scene. Ultimately we decided to watch it and let him walk away for the portrait scene. He’s usually fine with closing his eyes if we ask him to. We are fine with mild sex scenes and are mostly concerned about gore, violence, and appropriate language that smacks of sexism and racism. Without context and nuance, those can be difficult to comprehend for a young mind.

Updating this on the phone is a pain. First, it doesn’t seem to be adapted for webview. I couldn’t even see the Twitter sign-on in portrait mode. Once we do that in the landscape mode, it still makes for an unfriendly interface.

Walking around the neighborhood in mid October always makes me wonder how unique Halloween is among the various American holidays. Horror has a niche audience in the U.S. but come Halloween, you will see every other house display what would be other wise considered grotesque objects in their front yard. But then Easter also has been more about pagan rituals than what they claim it is about.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I say
Drummer#
- The Glossary feature looks useful. I may have to dig into it a bit to fully understand its utility as I perceive it.#
- Update: Now using Glossary to replace text with hyperlinked text e.g. for Drummer. If that word is hyperlinked, it is working. This paragraph is also indented to show a sub-item for the above item. It may also be used to provide an update by adding the text Update: #
- The only hitch right now I see in using Drummer is having a handy list of attributes to use in an item. E.g. inserting an image. #
- Added a shortcut for rebuilding the blog using the icon bar instructions.#
- Figuring out how to title a section. Anything below a date item can be a post but if it has sub-items below it, that line can be what bloggers call a title of the post.#
- Tried out embedding an inline images. Slightly trickier compared to hyperlinking a text.#
Using this self-shot wonderful image from Rainier National Park as my header image.

Ok, ok, I guess I will give
Drummer a try mainly because I'm exploring the "outliner" form of blogging or rather note-taking.
