Yahoo! Messenger is now the official presence and messaging tool of davidmeade.com, and you can take advantage of it too!

To display your online status to others you need to do 3 things:

1. Be a registered user of davidmeade.com — it’s FREE and simple!
   

2. Select “No” to the question “Hide your online status:” in your profile.
   

3. Enter your Yahoo! ID into the “Yahoo Messenger:” field.

Note: If you have your Yahoo ID entered, but you do not wish your online status to be displayed, simply check “Yes” to the “Hide your online status:” option in your profile.

You can also enter your screennames from other Instant Message tools into your profile. Only Yahoo! status will be displayed on your comments, but your friends can check your profile to find any of your other screennames that you’ve entered.

Well, I’m not sure what to think about the fact that you all thought I would pick style over comfort … I’ll take it as a compliment

I know you are all waiting for the answer so without further ado:

The answer is …

c. neither … I found one somewhere in the middle ground.

I did debate about it quite a while, but I decided that I’m far too fat to wear the cool lookin’ one. As for the warm one … I further decided that nobody as large as I should be wearing anything that adds that much bulk.

Thankfully there was a fairly warm coat available that didn’t look too bad.
