>How's that for misleading advertising? Anyhow... there is a real reason for this post. I moved my nascent blog to a new home in order to make my life easier.

Poor old Blogger. It lost out against Typepad. Sure, Blogger is free, but you get what you pay for. Trying to mix graphics and text is a pain in Blogger. Plus all kinds of nifty communication features are either missing or not too swift.

Henceforth, The Toolemera Blog has moved to...

http://toolemerablog.typepad.com/toolemera/

I realize the toolemera part is somewhat repetitious, but that can't be help. No pretty backgrounds here, but it's a lot easier for me to put a post up. No more fiddling around with image placement. Plus the comments and RSS feeds are more robust. Once I figure them all out.

So stop by and let me know what you think. What did I leave out? What doesn't work? Why would someone who can invent a patented plane also invent a lemon squeezer?

>why invent a plane and a lemon squeezer? To get citric acid for derusting the plane, of course!

No? Maybe because there's nothing better after a hot, sweaty day of inventing than a nice cool lemonade.

>Yup, I should have thought of that. But I doubt that he had to derust planes... his never got enough use to collect rust, not even dust. The lemonaide on a hot day is clearly the answer!
