Blog Via Email Test #3

This is a test post to see if this will even work at all or not. I've reconfigured my blogspot settings to allow me to post to a super-secret email address. Blogspot will take whatever I email to that secret email address, and it'll automagically publish it onto my blog all by itself.

The coolest thing about this is that now I'll be able to use my Blogspot like I had my moBlog before TextAmerica.com turned into a pay site, lost all of their customers, and closed it's doors for good as a result -- which I'm still, 3 years later, very mad about because I lost over 2,000 really good pictures. Anyway, what a moBlog is (was is more appropriate really, because they don't really exist anymore) was, you would take a picture with your cellphone, and you'd SMS the media to a special phone number or email address. The website server would get your message and it's auto-post your picture with whatever caption you wrote for it in real time. I updated my moBlog on the top of a mountain a few times with nothing a cellphone that had no net access. And, you could go and look at exactly what I was looking at, no matter where in the world I was, only 1 or 2 minutes after I hit send.

It was such a cool site.

Anyway... So, this is a say nothing type post, I guess.

But, to make it worth while, have a look at this really amazing picture Keira gimped for me. I'll post the original and the new version that she edited. Oh, and "There's no love in fear." She asked me, before telling me that she was even editing a picture at all what my all-time favorite lyric was. And, I answered with the quickness, because it's been my favorite single line from any song since I was 15 or 16. It's from, "Pushit" by Tool, written (lyrically) by Maynard James Keenan.
