We went to the Oakland Zoo today. My 2 year old daughter loves to visit the animals. Check out this tiger. He knows how to chill out.

I’ve installed the Markdown on Save Improved plugin to this site.
This is a simple post written in Markdown to test if all is working properly.
Foundation is a fun framework

Sean Korzdorfer publishes an online journal using VoodooPad. I was intrigued by this method of publication and as a VoodooPad user myself, wanted to follow his lead.
With my new Mac Mini server and a few weeks off for Paternity Family Leave, now was the time.
I decided to use my neglected domain, dnvn.me for my VoodooPad site, which I refer to as a Notebook. Why don’t I refer to it as a blog? The emphasis is not going to be on blogging. It’s going to be on building out pages on particular topics. There is a built-in blog component at any rate.
It’s been a few years since I got my hans dirty with any kind of web site building and I remembered seeing something called Foundation by a company called Zurb. I dug a bit deeper and realized that Foundation has everything I need to quickly build a site. Not just a site but a responsive site. Sounds good to me.
So, after a day or so of tinkering around with Foundation and figuring out how to tweak the VoodooPad template, I now have a basic VoodooPad driven static website built on a solid Foundation. Thanks, Zurb and Flying Meat!
URI.LV for RSS Feed Analytics

Now that I’ve jumped off the Feedburner bandwagon, I am going to try out URI.LV for my RSS analytics.
Why trust yet another service with my RSS feed? One main reason, from their Feedburner migration page:
The goal of this tutorial is to migrate your FeedBurner feed to URI.LV but also to setup a « whitelabel » system that will allow your users not to see the URI.LV address but the one from your own feed.
So, if one day you want to leave URI.LV, you won’t need to do a new migration similar to the one you’re doing right now.
That’s why. No risk and they ‘get’ portability. I will no longer be stuck in a trunk.
Leaving Feedburner, please change your RSS link

If you are using Donovan’s Brain Feedburner link in your RSS reeder, please change it to this one ASAP.
