Testing video upload directly from my iPad. More testing to come as my trip to Taiwan quickly approaches. I’m planning to only take my iPad2 and not have a laptop.
This is a video from today’s IceCaps game. B.Maxwell scores by hitting to puck off of the goalie’s back.
I’m currently looking at options for blog updates and photo uploading while I’m in Taiwan and Japan in March and April.
I have to say that I’m not impressed with the WordPress iPad app. It doesn’t have a lot of options or features, and it isn’t very intuitive.
I’m pretty pleased with the Blogsy app and I’m writing this post on the iPad using the touchscreen keyboard. I’ll have a keyboard case to use as well, but short amounts of typing on the touchpad isn’t too bad.
It’s that time of year again. As I mentioned in my last update, you should be feeling guilty about what wasn’t accomplished in the previous year. But with the first week of January well underway, there’s an opportunity for new beginnings. Fresh starts! Expect that January is simply a month that ends in Y… does it really have to be the only time of year to set goals, ridicule our failures and set unreasonable expectations?!
So in proper hypocritical fashion, I’ve decided to give myself a few goals (read: resolutions… I just don’t want to call them resolutions). Goals can be measurable and there will be clear evidence as to whether or not I meet these goals.
The subject line of this post comes from a series of skits on CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes. It involves a mother (actress Mary Walsh) and son (actor Greg Thomey) who provide commentary on the latest political and pop culture topics; all while watching TV. The mother, donning her fuzzy slippers is often seen kicking the son while lying on the couch. She’s not happy about the current program they’re watching and therefore wants to change the channel. To which she demands (while kicking), “Gimme me dat clicker!” I can’t find a clip online, but if anyone else can, please leave a comment!

I’m here, and here, and here and…
There are so many social media channels, tools and places nowadays. It’s hard to keep track. Heck, I want to make this contact page more snazzy and whenever I go to edit I think, “Oh I should had my account on such-and-such account here.”
In case you didn’t know, I also have a Tumbr account – http://vmiddleton.tumblr.com/.
Because I have a wonderful little Motorola Milestone, updating this blog and my Tumblr are very painless. I’ll admit that I’m updating my blog more from a desktop/laptop because it’s faster, but the option is still there.
My Tumblr will serve more for sidebar commentary and more random in-the-moment findings. It’ll have shorter posts that will likely include more multimedia like videos and photos. There’s a nice easy option for quotes too which I’ll toss up from time-to-time when it comes up.
Anyone else using Tumblr? I only follow one person and that’s the lovely onthemetro.
