A test post using iPhoto to Movable Type. Unfortunately it’s beta.2 software, and it shows. I’ll be playing with it more tomorrow, I expect.
My first test was an optimistic batch posting of 22 pix that took over an hour to process (!) and which, when posted did not conform to the settings I had selected in the plugin’s dialog. Hopefully that beta.3 will be out Real Soon Now.

My gallery albums for Thanksgiving through March were successfully posted directly from iPhoto using the very sweet iPhoto2Gallery plugin.
One aspect of the process that is a clear improvement is that it definitely took less time to set up the nested albums, for example.
Alas, however, there appears to be little motion on the iPhoto to Movable Type front. I believe I will experiment with this at some point anyway.
The iPhoto to TypePad project is also apparently moving with all deliberate speed, which is too bad, since one presumes that Atom support will be folded into MTPro.
The powerbook that suffered brain damage as a result of martini consumption has had an emetic and while it’s not 100% it is booting and as far as I can tell is likely to recover.
Unfortunately, I think I have to disassemble and clean the keyboard, unless I can score one for cheap on eBay.
I think I just saw Jeff Bezos at a press screening for the new Punisher film.
KUOW is among the NPR stations pushing for changes
“A host, when news is breaking, actually needs to be able to interact live with a reporter on the scene and do live interviews with analysts as a story is unfolding,” said Jeff Hansen, program director for KUOW (94.9) in Seattle, and an independent coordinator for news-focused radio stations that carry NPR programs. “We owe a lot to Bob Edwards for setting exactly the right tone for the first 25 years. But I think there is probably wide agreement in the public radio system that it is time for an evolutionary change.”
The P-I runs an NYT article. As Tom notes, now’s the time to let KUOW know what you think.

The One True b!X’s PORTLAND COMMUNIQUE is the current incarnation of b!X’s weblog, which for the past year and change has been a gem of local content, obsessively chronicling the minuta of Portland politics. On Monday, the Daily Oregonian profiled b!X and his pioneering experiment in for-real blog journalism.
I have kept an eye on b!X’s doings since about the time I started this site, just over two years ago. He was the first person to notice the IOCNM link in the right column, as I recall.
KerryRocks.com offers audio of Democratic nominee John Kerry’s prep-school rock band, The Electras.
Interesting choice of name: ‘elect’ + ‘rah.’ Don’t let’s miss the classical overtones, though.
