Oh hai 2013!

Posted on Posted in 2013, blog, books, Photography, Ravelry .

It can be said with confidence that 2013 is going to be a big year for Matt and I.
Heck, 2012 was pretty significant (going to Taiwan, Japan, lots of great stuff happening in my job, Matt being laid off from his job, increasing my volunteering in the community, etc.).

 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.
