The Wovel

http://www.thegreenhead.com

Thinking of a time a couple years ago when my friend bought a wovel--the snow shovel on a wheel. It was one of those "what were you thinking" moments.

He was all about setting it up, but the instructions were in german, and he lost his patience. So he returned it (for a $60 shipping fee), and I never had the chance to see him look like a fool.

It looks like it would make a great conversation piece as home decor. "What is that--an Amish buggy wheel; a 19th century tool?" "No, it's a wovel."

This only means something to me if it's under $30,000 :) Even then, it's not practical to my lifestyle. Otherwise, looks nice.

Jumped the Gun

I probably shouldn't have made a duplicate site on WordPress. My personal portfolio is is there, and I like WordPress so much more than Blogger, but my identity has been on Blogger for the past year. Having both is a conflict, when I only wanted more exposure.

So, I may remove it or turn it into a new blog.

My web hosting has changed three times in the past three months, so I need to keep updating my popular external links to sites such as Mr. Potato Head vector, Vector Balloons, and Bengals' vector logo. I will be updating these issues today directly through my site's ftp, wdsiemer.com.
