I just got through activating the Mail-to-Weblog feature of Radio UserLand. With this feature, I can send email from anywhere in the world to an email account that I setup exclusively for Radio. Radio will periodically check this account and post any messages it receives to my weblog. The nice thing about this feature is that it allows me to post to my weblog from any computer in the world. Also, by specifying a secret subject line, I can assure that only message that I send to the account will be posted. Just to test it out, I posted this very message to my weblog via email.

Baccara, CancunWhile in Cancun, Andrea and I stayed at the Baccara. It has many of the same amenities as the larger resorts, but it is small and intimate. The rooms were colorful and personalized, so it almost seemed like you were at home instead of at a resort. I have found that the rooms in many of the larger resorts are drab and indistinguishable which makes the Baccara really stand out. The Baccara is also affiliated with the much larger Avalon Grande just 100 yards up the beach where you can enjoy even more amenities. If you are looking for a quiet and intimate place to stay on the Cancun hotel strip, Baccara is a great choice.

This page has a very complete explanation for morphemes.

synthetic or fusional: meaning that words typically contain more than one morpheme and there is a wide range of inflections (eg Latin, Greek and Arabic).

Not that my weblog name has anything to do with this specific concept. I just thought the name sounded weird and cool.

What do you get when you combine vulgarity, strippers, BMX and copulating poodles? "BMX XXX" of course. The new video game, being distributed by Acclaim, is under attack with big retail chains like Wal-Mart and Toys 'R' Us unwilling to distribute it [here].
