I don’t talk politics on the blog very much and I probably won’t during these U.S. presidential (and congressional) elections. Â If you want to know what I think, email me.
I do, however, find “when Obama wins” very funny.
My blog has been iPhonified.
The CSS isn’t right, but the functionality on the iPhone is pretty wicked.
Now everyone go get an iPhone and point it this way and you will see just how brilliant iphonization is.
No iPhone? Â Curiosity piqued? Got Mac? Go get you some iPhoney. Â Then point it at FROGLEGS.
A brief roundup of the podcasts that I’ve been listening to lately:
Stephen Fry’s Podgrams: Â I first saw Stephen Fry when my Mom rented the movie Peter’s Friends about 15 years ago. Â I have sense realised that he is not, in fact, a dramatic actor, but rather a comedic genius. Â And he’s freaking brilliant.
This American Life: Â If you don’t know what this is, you need it. Â Desperately. Â By far the best podcast/radio show of my generation. Â No discussion.
Radiolab: Science meets narrative meets sound engineering overload. Â Love it.
If I had the equipment and the time, I’d want to dedicate myself part-time to a podcast about expat living, culture clash/shock and language acquisition. Â It’d be great.
Wordpress just released an app for the iPhone.
Posting to the ol’ blog just got that much easier!
So far, posting photos directly from iPhone does not work. Â Probably part of a more generalised problem with my installation of Wordpress at the moment.
As it’s the Christmas season and gift giving is one of the things on my mind, I’ve sprung into action by putting together a list of stuff over at boxedup.com. Seems to be the best aggregator of links to stuff you’d like.
Feel free to check out my list (don’t feel like you need to buy me anything), set up your own list and let me know of your existence (make me a friend).
Note to relatives (esp. parents and siblings): If you set up a list and make me a friend, your odds of getting something from me on your birthday just went up exponentially. I love you, but I have a horrible memory for these things.
Funny side comment: We watched “Shrek the Halls” last night with Sophia. It was funny that the whole thing was about telling the Christmas Story (which they mentioned once and then substituted the indicator “the” with “a”) and sharing the meaning of Christmas and at the end of it, they never really got around to it. Rant is tucked snugly behind the following link.
