i was sure there must be such a thing, and a moment’s search found wptouch, a plugin which makes a wordpress site (like this) look beautiful on iphones, android devices, blackberries, etc.
not just beautiful, but functional. i’m really impressed with how it feels like a native app on the iphone, with integration with other apps and sites for tweeting, bookmarking, etc. wonderful work!

big step forward! after months of slowly uploading my old photo galleries, one set at a time, they’ve finally all been transfered to flickr. that’s a big chunk of my old site moved to its new home (and, given intervening circumstances, probably all of the master plan i’ll accomplish for quite some time).
try it!:
happy viewing.

we received the second batch of photos from scancafe, and i’ve put them all online. between the scanned photos and the digital ones, the whole collection’s come to 196 photos, from turn-of-the-last-century portraits of glenn’s family through today:

i hope you enjoy them!
we bought a digital photo frame a few weeks ago, and i’ve been loading photos onto it and keeping it by glenn’s bed. it’s been wonderful asset. in addition to making an extra night light, it gives him a constant stream of happy recollections. i’d highly recommend one for anyone with short-term memory problems. it seems to act as both a comfort and a means of exercising more secure, entrenched long-term memories. as glenn grows more frightened of not having a firm grasp on what’s happening today, he seems reassured when he can accurately reminisce about the past.
thanks as always to everyone who’s checked on us and kept us in mind.

after my digitizing last winter, i decided to do the same for glenn’s photos. i got them all together and shipped half of them to scancafe (so we would have the other half in the meantime). i plan to get a digital photo frame (suggestions welcome!) so glenn can see a slideshow of them anytime.
the first batch just came back to us, and i’ve put them on flickr. using information written on the back of a few of them and what glenn can remember, i’ve tried to identify them and set dates and locations for them where possible. you’ll find them here:

enjoy! and let me know if you have any more information about any of them.

as threatened, i’ve begun moving my personal website to wordpress. (and quite liking it!) i was happy to see that wordpress will nicely overlay the existing site, so all the old urls will continue to work while i gradually import pages and set up redirections for them. if you need something that’s not linked here, go to the old site tree, and you can use the previously-existing site from there.
while in the neighborhood, i’ve added a couple of personal items for
friends:
i hope you enjoy the new site, and am eager to hear any wordpress tips you care to share!
