Dead cellphone, Flickr.com, tree down in the driveway, Meetup, Center for Online Investigative Research, Celebrating Solutions, the book proposal, the job search, …

Our old cellphone died, so Kim got a new cellphone, which I’ve needed to spend a little time playing with. I have it set up now so that I can send pictures from the cellphone, through Flickr.com and into this blog. As a general rule, the photos will show up in the Photos section of the blog. I will go back and change some of my other posts to show up in this section as well.

Yesterday, there were heavy winds, and the top of a tree came down in our driveway. This had been a very tall tree that had been hit by lightning a few years ago. Our driveway is currently blocked. (Front view, and Rear view - making use of the new phone).

Kim got home yesterday after the tree came down, so she parked on the street. In the evening we went out to Meetup. It was a great Meetup. You should read the details Meetup

In other activities, the Investigative Blogging project, now being referred to as the Center for Online Research, continues to take shape. I could spend all day working on that. However, at the same time, I am trying to help Celebrating Solutions! move forward. If you know some solutions that need celebrating, let me know. I should also work on a chapter for two different books, the book proposal for the State Rep book project. Most importantly, I need to get one of these projects to start generating a little cash. Either that or I need to find some other new job.
