Official thanks and acknowledgements need be extended to my son Andy, who set up the technical end of this Wizblog project for me a couple of days ago, and is hosting it as well as providing an informal Movable Type 101 course on the phone...(well, once)
By day he's a mild mannered 24 year-old Computer Engineer working for IBM in Durham, NC, as part of their WebSphere product group doing application and sub-application development, sales force training, and customer support.
He has a blog, also in its relative infancy, called The Middle for some reason, where the very brave can learn some web content terminology and other twenty-something stuff, and come to wonder, as I do, where he got the tendency to be a wise ass.
As I am now in only my second day of participation in the blogosphere, hopelessly addicted already to the process, and yet still utterly clueless about the nuances of the software, I will continue to post nice things about Andy until he calls me and explains how to do all the things I don't yet know how to do. I will post paeans to his wonderfulness, sing his praises, and otherwise verbally kiss his butt, as I await a few moments of his sage telephone wisdom.
Enough for now, it's late, and I've got to go dust and polish the Andy Wismar Shrine, the old third-floor bedroom he once called home. (It's a striking replica, by the way, looking much like it might have looked the day he left for college five years ago.)
Posted by dan at March 7, 2003 11:36 PMAlright, enough already. Just got home from work, it's _really_ late. Well, not so much work, as after work Friday parties, etc. Anyway, I'll give you a call Saturday when I roll out of bed.

Posted by: alw9 at March 8, 2003 02:31 AMVery cool, bro! I wondered why my buddy list showed you online for about 24 hours straight this weekend (48, 36?) Chalk up one more "true fan" who is excited about the Tribe kids and their hitting, and the young pitchers - and wasn't it cool that "Tho-me the Money" didn't get a hit when we played the Phillies yesterday?
Posted by: your biggest sister at March 9, 2003 09:34 PMIs this the Andy Wismar that I went to school with in Ohio? Drop me a line at my hotmail address if it is. I had a dream about you last night, and then was thinking back on how you used to make me laugh! Hope things are good.
