Blog distinction

This is the original FlannCo web log.  I migrated its most interesting content to Wordpress.com in June of 2010. I intended to keep this around for cross posting but then decided that cross posting is for people who have an unlimited supply of time and energy.  So I resolved to retain it as a placeholder and occasionally link to the new blog's content (example).

As the Flannery Correspondence idea is growing in importance and professionalism (at least in my mind), I am inclined to keep flannco.wordpress.com devoted to clean, clear, refined writing about correspondence, our family and how Gypsies may build castles.  As for this blog, flannco.blogspot.com, I am redefining it for any flow-of-consciousness ideas that I do not have time to explore but may test on the open internet before they are ripe.  Rename:  FlannCo Flow, to reflect the rushing issue of ideas, many uncaught or un-catchable that float past without second thought.

Let It All Hang Out

Elizabethtown reminded me of this hidden musical treasure:

Robot Auto-completes

There I am typing a search into Google.  Before I can finish, it's already suggesting results based on what I've typed so far:  "Robot" suggests "robot unicorn attack" and "robotic pirate monkey".  I abandoned my search, deciding that whatever I was searching for was pretty lame compared to the amazing things Google expects me to search for.

(Upon closer inspection, Google's Autocomplete feature is a cause of recent controversy.  But I'm not suing.  I'm just gonna let this one go.)

Trip to Chicago, 2011

In May of 2011, Brian and Christa escaped the home for five magical days in Chicago. No kids, no rules, no money. http://wp.me/pLze7-5g

First stop in Chicago was outside Chicago: Wade Center at Wheaton. In this story, we are taken for and by hobos. http://wp.me/pLze7-5m

Art exhaustion, surreal and medieval. Recuperate in style with a canary. http://wp.me/pLze7-5s

Navy Pier, high-speed police chase, towers, churches and one mile later, our hotel room has become home. http://wp.me/pLze7-5A

Final Chicago tale gushes about the Museum of Science and Industry http://wp.me/pLze7-5U. Also, photos http://flann.co/chi
