Today must be “play with new stuff day”.

First, there was the release of WordPress 2.7. WordPress has always been super easy to update. I have been using the WordPress Automatic Updater plugin, which takes literally seconds to update. I bet it took me three minutes to update four WordPress sites. Apparently, this feature is now built into WordPress so I will no longer need that plugin. The new dashboard is nice and clean and customizable, but frankly, I don’t use the dashboard much. Most of my blogging is done from MarsEdit.

Second, Google Maps now has the street view option for Fargo. It was pretty cool to see the streets of Fargo in greater detail. I found my house and saw our two cars in the driveway.

Third, I started fiddling around with Windows Live. I figured their SkyDrive would be another good place to have my photos backed up at. With the 25 GB you get for free I should be able to back up all my photos at full quality. You can never have enough backups.

What’s Next?
