Becker's Online Journal

a place for my non-serious-ish fun stuff

Michael Becker

I'm the Web editor of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. I also write the Backroads feature every other week. I don't post to Posterous very often anymore, but I do post to my blogs http://www.hypercrit.net and (for the Chronicle) http://news.hypercrit.net.

When the heck did Posterous change names?

I suppose the fact that I didn't know Posterous had become Posterous Spaces is a sign that I never, ever use this blogging platform for anything. 

I just like Wordpress too darn much to abandon it for something else.
