This is really cool. Jennifer Garrett, who writes for the the college alumnae magazine, Wellesley has the cover story this issue with "The Incredibly True Adventures of a Wellesley Blogger." I don't think Wellesley publishes the articles online ordinarily—maybe in this case they will make an exception? The cover art is great!
And so the sun sets on my time in New Zealand (and with it my moblogged vacation slideshow). May a new day dawn on ... something awesome.
Garden for Sale: "We started from scratch and fifteen years later the garden is glorious. Now we plan to move. The house is officallly for sale as of Monday May 9th. The house will sell easily, but I want a gardener to buy it."
This is pretty sweet - plush leather seats, a giant screen, and you should see the bathroom! I know you're not supposed to use phones at the theater, but there should be an exception for blogging.
"So I got myself all set up and have the addresses in my cell phone. This is fantastic. Now I can go around snapping a picture or two each day of my trip and send it to this blog and post some commentary or whatever. I'm going to turn this thing into a little travel journal. Follow Joe's travels through Italy... Oh man that's really cool! Yay for modern technology!"
"The feature is extremely convenient. Just send a picture, some text, or both to go@blogger.com. Blogger actually makes a new blog, then sends you a message back... I merged back to ThoughtLab and my initial post was automatically moved to ThoughtLab (from the autogenerated blogspot blog). I also typed in the URL of the autogenerated blog that I received in my message from Blogger, and I got a "not found" message, so the autogenerated blog is automatically deleted. Slick."
go@blogger.com
"They should be ashamed of themselves. This should be at least a ten step process!""It really is that simple. Get on your phone and send an email to go@blogger.com. Done. Whatever you sent, text, picture, or both, get posted to a blog (the email subject is the post title). It's that easy. Either just post, and do nothing else, or set up a full-fledged post-to-your blog system, or anything in between."
"As good as the new Blogger Mobile is, I find myself obsessed with its catchy jingle: 'Snap a photo and type some text; send it to Blogger and we'll do the rest!.' Now we know who's responsible for the li'l ditty: Grant Shellen. Grant's got a few words on the ditty on his blog, as well as the world exclusive extended version (yeah, its 15 seconds; so what?)."
Driving on the left side is easier than I imagined. But it's done nothing to improve my sense of direction. I'm sure things will work out.
Conveniently I'm in New Zealand on the day Blogger Mobile launches. Hope to share more on-the-go slices of my trip this way.
Boba Fett is one of the few people with whom I will share a meal. He was horribly disfigured by acid years ago, and I feel we hold a bond in common in that respect. He has never so much as winced at the ghastly noises that come through my ventilator while I chew, because he is a gentleman.
