I have a great desire not to use Blogger anymore. That's not to say I have any particular desire to go back to updating manually. However, since Blogger simply will not work normally in any browser other than Internet Explorer (which I abhor), it's still a pain to update my site. I want a program that is both convenient and works! Is that so hard?

In other news, PARConline died today. A new webmaster has been inaugurated, and with new webmasters come new web sites, no matter how good the previous one was, it seems. A few people have given me some last-rights sort of accolades for the site, but I'm afraid it just couldn't be saved. I feel sad because the design really can't be reused for another site, yet it can't continue on where it was. It feels like such a waste of my creative abilities in that way. Oh well. I took today's news as a prompting to get working on the Residential College Board site, my latest project. Currently the design is nothing special -- only something I copied from an Adobe template. However, it's at least better-looking and more functional than the previous site.

The retreat I went to with the rest of the RCB this past weekend was good and bad. Good, in that I got to know the nice group of people I'll be working with for the next year; bad, in that this required enduring frustrating "team-building" activities. While my fellow RCB officers are a friendly, community-oriented bunch, the people in charge of the leadership school must be demons from hell. Well, maybe not literally. However, activities that artificially force one to include almost everyone in their execution (such as moving a golf ball from one tube to another through the use of five-person and six-person string-and-ring things) when they could be done in seconds alone are antithesis to my efficient being. It leads me to the very inefficient practice of tearing my hair out.
