#1 I’ve set up a Tumblr. Yes that’s right. a tumblelog. Tumblr is an easy way to share things like links, quotes, photos, videos and more with friends. It’s very basic. There are no comments (unless you use third party pluggins, which I won’t). To me, it’s going to be a way to share. I hope to see some of you there.
I am going to try and post there once a day, at the very least 4 or 5 times a week. I’m still going to blog here, but there will be where I post the cool things that I see online.
#2 I’m a big fan of The Houstonist, which is, in their words, “a website about Houston and everything that happens in it.” Almost anything Ali and I do or go to in or around Houston, we found it because of The Houstonist (Discovery Green, Lucky Burger, and on Friday we’re going to Little Big’s gourmet burger joint). There are similar sites for several cities around the country and the world, I highly advise you to check into seeing if your city has one.
They have a Flickr group where members can submit photos to, and each day they feature a photo on the main page. They also use photos for various stories and blogs they post and they used one of my photos in an article about what’s going on around town for Obama’s inauguration. That’s pretty cool.
#3 A few weeks ago I gave my website HellaMike.com a pretty major overhaul. I am still tweaking various pages but I am very happy with the way it all came together. I am also starting on another aspect of my site which I am very excited about. I’m not going to go into too much detail about it right now, but I will let you guys know when it’s live.
#4 I went back out to the Obama mural on Travis and Alabama street in Houston today to get the picture I wasn’t able to get when I first went out there before the election. I thought that’d be a good way to end this blog on the eve of Obama’s inauguration.
