Indented lines

This pony will make you happy. Even if it’s not pink.

You know, they are still magical.

Don’t forget the words that made you smile a long time ago. Don’t forget the words that made your heart skip a beat, the words that gave you goose bumps in a good way. The words that made you smile a bit more, feel a bit better. And tell everyone about those words on World Poetry Day.

In december 1999, at The Party, Replay released the demo Fall Equals Winter. The tune on this demo, I realize, is something that always makes me smile more and feel a bit better. With lyrics that, for some reason, gives me goose bumps in a good way.

If I could gather all the stars and hold them in my hand,
the colors I would then possess would not be half as grand
as those which I have seen when I look deep into your eyes,
or come across when I have kissed your lips, I realize.

If I could ponder all the truths men sought since time began,
they would not teach me more than if I were to touch your hand
For truth to no one you have touched appear as simple lies
And nothing could be truer than your touch, I realize.

If I were given lasting life as only God could do,
I’d shun it all and turn away, if I could live with you.
For even God has never known the immesurable size
Of the love that’s within your heart, I realize.

I first read about Metblogs when Matt wrote about the new design and the move from one publishing platform to another. Metblogs is now based on a multi-user installation of WordPress. The idea behind this collection of blogs is that you can take back your local media. Read about a small club in Paris named La Fleche D’Or, the E train and Q 39 Buses in New York City or a photowalk in Chennai. Metblogs covers local issues in over 50 cities around the world.

We are bloggers first and foremost, and we love our cities. Even the parts we hate.

A new city will be launched when ten or more bloggers from that area are commited to the site, and willing to contribute. Author slots on existing city sites are given to people on an invite only basis. If your local media does not want to cover the opening of a new chocolate factory, then you can do it. You don’t need to blog on metblogs to do just that, though.

Every big site has a few flaws here and there, and Metblogs is no exception. On the list of what to fix is the problem with the sites being too wide, the fonts are either too big or too small and some links are broken. I have my own, but very short, list of changes I would like to see on metblogs.com. The link to visit a random city should be placed somewhere more visible to the reader, and the link to the author of a comment should point to the author’s profile.

I had my first QSO today. With LA1BFA at 21:00 UTC on 10m. Now it’s time to try more obscure modes such as Feld-Hell.
