Howdy, folks!
Blogging will be a bit . . . unusual . . . the next two days (Thursday & Friday).
I’m taking a roadtrip through SoCal, Arizona, and as far as western New Mexico.
At least that’s the plan.
As a result, I may not have access to the Net–at least not the ordinary way.
I have, however, been preparing for this by getting myself set up with moblog (mobile blogging) capabilities–at least as far as the tech I have available will allow.
So, here’s what to expect: I’ll probably send a few camera phone shots. Probably won’t be able to do much explaining on what they are in the posts themselves, but I have a backup for that.
The backup is this: I now have an audioblog. You can access it by going to jimmyakin.blogspot.com. There I’ll try to post entries by mobile phone which you can listen to in .mp3 format. In these I’ll try to explain what’s in the camera phone pictures I’m sending, as well as other thoughts that occur to me along the road.
I may even find a wi-fi zone where I can do a more traditional post or two.
In my absence, I’d invite my co-bloggers to let fly with anything they may have that they want to say. (Thanks, guys! And don’t worry about scheduling. Just publish as soon as you write them.)
Folks can also use the combox to this post as a free-form discussion on . . . . well . . . anything y’all wanna talk about (but keep it within the rules).
Have fun, y’all!
Cool! (No, make that ‘way cool!’) are you going to get a chance to see those Anasazi indian cliff dwellings at Keet Seel or Betatakin?http://web.mit.edu/~dlymar/www/southwest/Keet_Seel.html
My husband says they’re worth a trip. Drive friendly!
Please add jimmyakin.blogspot.com. to the sites list in the left hand margin.
Jimmy,
I am really impressed by your use of the various technologies out there. You must really like us to even make blog entries from your cell phone. I can’t wait to hear what ‘desert thoughts’ you come up with. Just come back to us in the end, OK?
p.s. How are you going to host your open forum show Friday afternoon if you are out driving around, anyways? 🙂
Of course you’ll be able to find wi-fi spots all along your road. I think they’re planning on setting up a Starbucks at every other mile marker in the US by the end of this week.
Just make sure to ask for a ‘non-gay’ cup.
How do you do that, Jimmy? Do you think I could do that voice recorded blogging stuff from England? I’d love to leave messages on my blog fro others to hear! Lot’s of my american friends have asked me if they could phone me just to hear my english accent, I don’t get it personally, but it sounds like it could be fun.
God Bless!
Hilarious! I spent an hour and a half fiddling around and managed to get a realplayer recording to work! Anyone wanting to hear my voice can now do so by visiting my blog! Apologies for the self promotion, I’m just excited that I managed to do it all by myself 🙂
God Bless.
Expect plenty of comments for any pictures from Arizona.
