Mobile Blogging

I am finding when you post from your app shorter posts seem to work best. A short “Twitter-like” approach can make it easier and more fun. I will do more status-type updates from my phone than full-length posts. A picture can help share your story with few words. WordPress features various post types which can help you tell your story quickly. Have fun posting remotely.

It’s Monday Again, Blah!

Well it’s Monday again. Let’s make today the best it can be.

In some parts of the world, the United Kingdom specifically it’s Mother’s Day. To all those mums who are keeping their families and communities going I salute you and appreciate what you do to make the life better for those in your lives. I hope you have had a great day and have been spoiled with as much love as you give.

Contact: A Terrific Movie About What Is Out There

Contact_ver2In this Zemeckis-directed adaptation of the Carl Sagan novel, Dr. Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster) races to interpret a possible message originating from the Vega star system. Once first contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence is proven, Arroway contends with restrictive National Security Advisor Kitz (James Woods) and religious fanatics bent on containing the implications of such an event. An incredible message is found hidden in the signal, but will Arroway be the one to answer its call?

I love all the spiritual and scientific questions this movie brings to the forefront. It’s always timely and Carl Sagan does a terrific job in letting the reader/viewer make their own conclusions. One thing I see in this is that people tend to screw things up when there is a turf war at stake.
