Your iPhone Can't...

I know, I just like to rub it in. A little video of me putting iPhone owners to shame. I just wish my flip video camera was focusing on it better (thanks Keira).

Facebook Feed Fun

I noticed that the blog feed update on Facebook has been a bit spotty lately, spotty as in really bad or unreliable, and I opened up the settings to see if I could make a manual update I found this-

The Imported Stories feature is no longer available. Most of the sites supported by this feature now allow you to publish stories to Facebook directly from the site. All hail the supreme overlord Facebook.

Well, that's not actually what it said. I added the last line. Anyway, Facebook must be so important that most sites surely must support some way to publish your stories/feeds on their own. Why should Facebook bother to help you do it? I mean, they are just so important.


I checked into blogger's settings and there is not a way to publish post updates from the blog to Facebook (I'm not surprised). My site feed (RSS/ATOM) is published through Feedburner, which Google owns, and it doesn't have a way to publish stories to Facebook. But, I can send feed updates to Twitter.


I've customized the feed update to twitter to have the hashtab #fb which will then be picked up by my Selective Twitter Updates app on Facebook. That way it is a bit more visible to everyone when I update the blog since more friends and family frequent Facebook than searching for blog updates.

Going Mobile

I'm going to give this blogging from the phone thing a shot so I can attempt to update the page more often. I have been in a creative slump (or just really tired from Keira keeping me up often at night) and keep thinking that there is not much to report but that is not true. The kids are growing up everyday and they are always up to something new. I just need to keep my eyes open to what is something significant to anyone who can't see them daily. So, here are a few pictures from my phone that I took using the Camera 360 app. The first one is me messing with the HDR setting and the last two were taken using the "ghost" mode. Can you see why it is called the ghost mode? Bwah ha ha ha!

Yes, taken at church.

For those who can't see the ghosts captured in the pictures, I've highlighted them here and here .
