I got a new Bluetooth Apple Mighty Mouse a couple of weeks ago, and let’s face it, Apple can not design a mouse.

Drupal Blog
I’m thinking of moving over my blog to a new Drupal site instead. There’s already a module to import WordPress data into drupal. But I really have to try out some rewrite rules so all the old links works. It looks like I’m getting to be a real Drupal fan boy…
I also just started to look at Markdown and Textile. After trying them both out, Markdown won out for me. And as usual TextMate has great support for it, so writing it is a breeze.
