Yeah, no Tivo here. Whereas I see Tivo as an appliance,Dave sees it as a subscription, and we don’t pay for tv. And the ability to skip over commercials wouldn’t be good, since commercials pay our mortgage. So, instead, I think I’m going to take bellydancing lessons. (For real!)

Anyway.

I sort of shot myself in the foot by having everything at Typepad, because now I want to simplify to the one blog option, but everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has the URL for typepad (but not this specific one) so if I nix the other two, this falls into the default slot, and I don’t want this to be visited by everyone. Which  kind of sucks, because I really LIKED having scored MY OWN NAME for typepad, you know? Which is kind of a coup.  So, I’m going to keep typepad, but create a new account, port over the contents of this blog, to keep the backstory, and need help coming up with a new screen name (and NOT the one most everyone knows me by — but something a little less googleable. I don’t like things like "Ingridsmama" and I was considering "geekymama" but one sounding board says that that’s too "ingridsmama2006." Which is exactly what I DON’T want to convey — Ingrid has her own blog, and I am a mama, but I am a lot of other things too. (Geek included…) So, while I puzzle out a new screenname, feel free to make suggestions. . . .

Also, new video of Ingrid’s patented foot clapping at her blog — ingrids.vox.com.
