Migrated to WordPress

I’ve updated my blog to be on wordpress.  The migration from blogger was pretty easy.

As part of the migration I re-did all the DNS mapping for paddlefish.net.  If you notice a hostname is missing, please let me know.

Rescued my favicon

the other day Blogger greedily stole my favicon, the sneaky devils.

I modified my template so I could take it back. It’s easy, just include

<link rel=”icon” type=”image/vnd.microsoft.icon” href=”http://andysblog.wpenginepowered.com/favicon.ico”/>

In your template file. Well, obviously, you’d want to use your favicon, not mine. Although I am rather partial to mine…

Spring Hyacinth


Spring Hyacinth, originally uploaded by nakedtram.

Today I enjoyed the nice warm spring weather. I trimmed away some of the dead foliage from last fall and was pleasantly surprised to see a lot of new growth lurking underneath. The only flowers showing so far are the hyacinths in purple, pink and white.

Another charismatic mega-fowl we observed today were the Sand Hill Cranes. A trio were grazing near the roadside, then took flight when a passing car got too close.

Trumpeter Swan


IMGP4108.jpg, originally uploaded by nakedtram.

On our way out of Carlos Avery (a state wildlife sanctuary about a half hour north of Minneapolis) we saw a pair of Trumpeter Swans. These large guys dwarfed the Canada goose that was swimming nearby. One was banded (Z85) around the neck. They spent most of the time with their heads under water. They’re stained slightly pink on their heads and bellies — I suppose due to iron or some other mineral in the water.
