My First Bluetooth Headset

Bluetooth
Photo-A-Day #963

I have assimilated. I went and got a bluetooth headset and already I love it. I charged it for a few minutes and then set it up with my phone. And now I can actually make calls and receive calls and talk to people on my phone. It is limping along to the very end of life with me. It just has to last me till January and I can finally get my EnV. Also the Plantronics headset is very very comfortable and the sound is great. I am pretty pleased with the purchase too.

Tonight we dressed Eva in a cute little winter sleeper. She is getting so big that she’s not going to be wearing it for much longer. I can’t believe how fast she is growing.

Today I made some great contacts with some fascinating bloggers. First up is Anne-Marie of The Write Spot. She was at Blog World Expo and we’ve been discussing the experience. Unfortunately we didn’t meet while there. Maybe at another convention.

I also made contact with a very special article of clothing, Olga the traveling bra may be visiting me this summer to have an adventure to add to her already amazing life. You have to read her 100% True Story. It is a very clever story and a very fun website. Stop over and tell Olga I sent you.

Also, my friend Ashley from IZEA wrote a special post about the Machinski Fund and the 2008 Photo-A-Day Calendar. Thanks Ashley!

I wrote a Tech Tuesday for FuelMyBlog and they have a new contest going on as well to win a copy of Microsoft Expression.

Two out of the three contest posts are ready to go for December 1st and already my pal Stephen The Dog is excited about entering the contests.

Also I have read David Allen’s book Getting things Done, you might remember that I lent it to a friend who needed some organizational help in his life and he subsequently lost the book. Well this is the book he really needs. Warning, contains a graphic word that will not be uttered on this blog.

Got the headsets, waiting on the memory cards and iGo tips though.

The top of the building at my grade school. I never realized that the building was built in 1923. Allison and I took Taylor out for a walk and as we went by the school I looked up and saw this part of the facade and thought it looked interesting. I never realize how often I don’t look up as I walk around, and when I do I notice how many buildings in my town are so well adorned. I love old stuff like that.

I spent a good deal of time today working on the new blog. The new domain is www.benspark.com. I haven’t done much editing to the theme but that is up on my list. I will most likely have to hand transfer my posts from this blog to the other blog. But as I do so I will make edits and fixes as well as categorize things for better organization of the blog.

Through the past four years of blogging I have learned many things and if I can go back and fix the mistakes and improve the quality of my blog then the time it takes will be worth it.

You may ask why I am doing this by hand rather than an automated way. Well, because I signed up for blogger in 2003 I wanted to be able to do more so I also signed up for BlogSpot*Plus. Now, when new blogger came out I finally transferred my stuff from old Blogger to new Blogger everything transferred correctly. The problem was that sites that were on Old Blogger cannot have custom domains. Sites on New Blogger can have their own custom domain names. So I purchased two domain names on Tuesday. I added domain name www.wiredkayaker.com to my wiredkayaker.blogspot.com blog. So when I move that blog to another host I won’t have to go and start from scratch on my Page Rank.

The problem I will have and I am having now is that WordPress converts old blogger but not new blogger posts. Hence the hand moving of posts. Which in the long run is going to be a good thing.

Today I also dove into working on the FuelMyBlog Forum. I am a moderator for the FuelMyBlog Forum. Kevin asked me to be one and this has been a nice experience so far.

There is also a Blog Party going on. It has brought in some very nice visitors to this site as well as to my Flatwater site. So this has been a great day for link exchange.

Tonight we are watching Bottle Rocket. It is quirky and fun. I’ll post more about it tomorrow.
