Video of Andrew walking

In addition to moving my pictures over to flickr, I’m going to start posting videos to Vimeo. I don’t know that I’ll move all the current ones over, but here is one just to get going. This was taken the evening that Andrew first walked.

Switching to flickr

// April 9th, 2009 // No Comments » // Blog

With my new blog theme I decided to finally take the plunge and start moving my photos over to flickr. For awhile now on both this blog, and on the family blog at muchhutch.com I have been using a semi-hack I set up for Christine and I that uses blogger.com to allow us to post pictures from our iPhones and display them on the blogs’ sidebar. Basically these “mobile blogs” were obfuscated locations that we could grab a feed from and then using the KB Advanced RSS widget I’d take the contents of the Atom feed and display the last picture plus subject. I can still do this with the flickr feed and I can still email the photos from my iPhone, but the added benefit is that it works nicely with this new feed plus I can more easily use any camera. I’ll be making the switch on muchhutch.com for my feed soon, and then work on convincing Christine to do the same.

New blog theme

// April 9th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Blog

Since Thursdays are normally my work-from-home days, and since I am on PTO this week, I decided to “work” on my blog and installed and customized a new theme. This blog finally is looking how I want it to. It has the general grungy-green appearance I longed for, the lifestream stuff going on, and can now handle all the media stuff I post. The best part was that instead of hacking it all together myself and spending a week on it, I spent only a couple of hours (mostly image editing) since it is a Woo Theme.
