			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.vancouver2010.com/"><img class="alignright" style="border: 1px solid black; margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" src="http://www.gamesbids.com/english/images/article/van_2010_logo.jpg" alt="" width="147" height="175" /></a>It&#8217;s official, I&#8217;m going to the <a href="http://www.vancouver2010.com/en/-/32678/q0c15c/index.html" target="_blank">Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics</a>!  Hooray and huzzah!  Of course, I&#8217;m going as a spectator.  As soon as they make excessive geekiness an Olympic sport, I&#8217;ll be proud to represent the country.  Anyway, I got tickets to see <a href="http://www.vancouver2010.com/en/athletes-and-sports/sports/-/40864/34238/1i7p5mi/ice-hockey.html" target="_blank">ice hockey</a> and <a href="http://www.vancouver2010.com/en/athletes-and-sports/sports/-/40912/34238/1ggenru/speed-skating.html" target="_blank">short track speed skating</a>, and even though the Winter Olympics are <em>more than a year away</em>, I&#8217;m already ridiculously pumped.  I&#8217;ve always wanted to attend the Olympics, and now that dream will be a reality!  Man, going to the Olympics!  SWEET!</p>
<p><span id="more-661"></span>In other news, thanks to some very helpful info provided by <a href="http://www.web.build.id.au/shadowbox/" target="_blank">this site</a>, I&#8217;ve finally gotten <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shadowbox-js/" target="_blank">Shadowbox JS</a> to display multi-line captions at the bottom of pictures in the gallery.  So, no more clipped captions.  Cool.  Also, I confirmed that videos aren&#8217;t loading in the gallery due to a technical issue with <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/kpicasa-gallery/" target="_blank">kPicasa gallery</a>, so if you want to see videos in the picture albums, you&#8217;ll need to view them directly through my <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/jerethi" target="_blank">Picasa Web Albums gallery</a>.  As further explanation for this, for those who didn&#8217;t realize, kPicasa gallery is a <a href="http://wordpress.org/" target="_blank">WordPress</a> extension that allows you to display your Picasa Web Albums gallery through WordPress.  It accomplishes this magnificent task through creative programming and the magic of <a href="http://www.php.net/" target="_blank">PHP</a>.  If you want the full story, see <a href="http://www.assortmentstoday.com/2008/10/01/gaze-upon-this" target="_blank">this post</a>.  So, the bottom line is that the gallery on my blog is just my Picasa web albums gallery displayed inside my blog via a WordPress extension, and that WordPress extension does not, at present, support videos.  All in due time, of course.</p>
<p>One last piece of news.  I did an about face of sorts and decided to use a personalized <a href="http://www.google.com/ig" target="_blank">iGoogle</a> page as my homepage.  Why, you ask? Because there&#8217;s too much content on the Internet to individually check every time you open your browser (which should be <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/" target="_blank">Firefox</a>, by the way).  iGoogle solves this problem by aggregating all of that content into one, convenient, customizable place.  Of course, I added an RSS feed for my blog.</p>
<p>Next issue to tackle, should I join <a href="http://www.facebook.com/" target="_blank">Facebook</a>?</p>
<p>By the way, <a href="http://www.weather.com/newscenter/stormwatch/?from=hp_news" target="_blank">help</a>? It&#8217;s <a href="http://cnnwire.blogs.cnn.com/2009/01/08/major-floods-in-washington/" target="_blank">kind of</a> <a href="http://www.weather.com/newscenter/nationalforecast/index.html?from=hp_news" target="_blank">wet</a>.</p>
