in just 6 short days, ashley and i will be on our way to south africa and the 2010 fifa world cup. when on vacation, we generally post to our blog nightly. doing so, however, results in late nights spent recalling every particular detail of the day's events. ideally, we could post from our phones (via text message), eliminating the need for bulky laptops and internet connectivity. this would spread over the course of the day what would otherwise be several hours of blogging in the very late evening. after a matter of seconds spent on the internet, i discovered that the people at google have incorporated this functionality into their freely available blogging tool, blogger. this has been my first attempt at posting via text message and i am happy to report that it was painless. it has certainly caused the commute to pass more quickly than usual. it should be noted that i'm not driving and texting simultaneously. i take public transportation to and from work.
