There has been some discussion about how Blogsome doesn’t allow Email posting, and now a new service has stepped in to fill the gap.

Blogmailr is a free service that allows you to send an email to a predetermined address (like r7873hud@blogmailr.com ), and it will automagically appear as an entry on your blog.

You’ll need to visit Blogmailr first, and register.  I created a new user in my blog (be sure to promote it to a level that can post, ie > 0), so that if things go bad, I can easily remove posts, and it can’t remove anything I have posted from my proper account.

You can also add categories, and styling to the post.  Like I have to this one.

Thanks to Micah for this find.

Update: I’ve not used Blogmailr since this date, and have removed the user to which it was attached…

The latest National Interest podcast had a segment on Carboard Coffins. These are an environmentally friendly replacement for regular coffins, and interestingly both interviewees were from Adelaide. I realised, at the end of the story, that I knew the John Smith that was referrred to as having been buried/cremated (I missed this bit) in a cardboard coffin. He was a lecturer we had at Uni, who died a couple of years ago from cancer. John taught us an Energy Systems class, where we studied a heap of environmentally sensitive topics, such as sustainable housing, and other bits like that. Pete, a good friend of mine had a bit more to do with him after Uni finished. Hi Pete.
