Mobile Blogging!

This is my first blog published with WordPress for iOS. Mobile versions of web services have been around for a while but frankly I still find it all cool. Having a compact version of a full site is part of the norm for common services today, at least for the competitive ones. There most probably was a time when developing a 2nd version of a site was a tedious necessity. Programmers had to come up with another interface for the gadget toting majority, for something that already works well even on Internet Explorer. I say this past-tense since I’m rather confident that the ways and means to implement this have been established by now (such as an API/library of programming tools to make a mobile version of a site faster than we can say Zuckerberg).

I gave a Technology Seminar to a bunch of promising highschool kids just yesterday, and much discussion took place on how tech simplifies things that were inconvenient, or more so, things that were thought to be impossible.

Some of my friends’ whereabouts were often unknown. Now it’s all there, thanks to Twitter.

It used to be hard to keep in touch with my sister in New York. Thank you Facebook.

I used to update this blog on a turtle’s pace. Now there’s WordPress mobile.

New Look and a Comic Book

I’ve recently discovered some of the advantages WordPress has over other blog platforms. Having found a widget ready scalable theme, I had to bid goodbye to the original layout. That first template was a plain WordPress theme that was so boring, I had to replace the banner with something more interesting. If anyone can remember the banner this site formerly had, I’d like to point out that it was chosen for its likeness to the art of Matt Wagner. He’s both writer and artist, the brain behind the Grendel comic books and the critically acclaimed story of the Trinity, which showcased the three DC icons at their best. It was Wagner style in wit, realism, and of course, art.  But that’s a story for next time.

For now, it’s all about the new look.

My old banner reminded me of this graphic novel
