Last night was the belated Thanksgiving dinner at a friend's house. As the entire evening revolved around food, the conversation turned to online shopping and where to get good food. My friends suggested Abel & Cole. I had never heard of but apparently they supply Londoners with boxes of organic, fresh, in season, fruit and veg. You pick your family size and box size/type, sign up and fresh veg arrives at your door every week.
We're going to give it a whirl- we keep getting stuck in a rut buying the same things (Tesco online shopping is great, but it gets a bit monotonous. This should mix things up a bit.
I've been given a Vox account since I'm a long-time TypePad user. Supposedly, you can cross post to Vox and Typepad simultaneously, however, most Vox will be private posts for friends and family, not for the entire world...
There are definitely some interface enhancements that I like- a lot more than on Typepad. Looking throught the blog it's easy to click and edit any post- something that's not really easy to do on Typepad. Also, there is strong integration with photos (via Flickr), audio, videos and books. It's a much more "friends" oriented tool- there are even neighborhoods. I've joined the London neighborhood and invited CK to join VOX that's pretty much it for now.
This could potentially become a replacement for Livejournal- which I used to maintain, but haven't found the time to even think about a "personal blog" - keep TechBytes going is difficult enough.
I like the differentiation between friends and family, just like in Flickr.
