Okay, so I’m trying to get all my shit together with regard to the internet.<\/p>\n
I realize that’s a bit of an oxymoron, since spending as much time as I do on the internet sorta defines the exact opposite of having any shit together at all. Yet here we are.<\/p>\n
I was in Columbus, OH visiting family this long holiday weekend, and out of nowhere, I was suddenly struck with an urge to see if I could use my Blackberry Pearl to send pictures of the 4th of July parade out onto the web.<\/p>\n
This led to installing a Flickr app to my phone for my long-dormant Flickr account, which also led to setting up an e-mail address whereby I can send pictures to Flickr and have them automatically appear at my Pop Geek<\/a> blog as well. So one e-mail gets a pic onto my blog and into my Flickr. Not bad.<\/p>\n THEN I got an itch to wind Twitter all up more tightly in my schiznit. So I used TwitterFeed<\/a> to make sure all my blog posts are automatically sent to my Twitter account<\/a>. Now when I post to AN or PG, it will automatically Twit to my account. I’m considering doing the same for my Flickr account, except that I’m not sure yet how extensively I’ll be using it–you can basically make that happen thru TwitterFeed for anything with RSS.<\/p>\n The last piece I would like to implement is to have my Twitter posts automatically generate into a blog post every day, just like the great Johnny Bacardi<\/a> has set up over on his LiveJournal. I just can’t get LoudTwitter<\/a> to work for me, for whatever reason.<\/p>\n Oh, and I want a little bluetooth wireless keyboard so I can go all Warren Ellis and write novels in pubs on my cell phone.<\/p>\n I have come to realize that I enjoy using consumer electronics to accomplish tasks that they probably weren’t designed to accomplish. Such as watching movies on my Nintendo DS, reading comic books on my laptop, or photographing a hot dog with my phone and posting that photo to my blog.<\/p>\n Some would ask WHY, I ask WHY NOT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, so I’m trying to get all my shit together with regard to the internet.
