Picture This

Brought to you by my dear, dear friends at Blogger.com, which hosts this blog.

Band Name of the Day just got a whole lot more obnoxious.

I know what you're thinking: How is that possible? Well, my friends, thanks to the miracles of modern technology, the Media Sensation has just learned to photoblog — to post both text and images direct from my picture phone to my web page. No saving, no downloading, just pure blogging satisfaction. It's absurdly simple and completely free. All you need is a picture phone and five minutes for setup (go.blogger.com), and shazaam! Pictures to supplement the usual thousand words.

Photo posts will be, of necessity, short and sweet. I will try to limit myself to a couple a week, although I'm sure I'll overdo it until the newness has worn off. Heck, I've already posted two or three quite a few today alone. Check 'em out! I haven't yet worked out whether I can send images to e-mail list subscribers; stay tuned for breaking news. If not, you'll just have to visit the home page occasionally to see what's shakin'.

I should warn the unwary that I am genetically predisposed to take prodigious quantities of photos. The only reason I haven't done so in the past is because I've been too lazy to figure out ways to display them, but Blogger has solved that problem for me. I should also warn you that the resolution on my picture phone is something like .3 megapixels — in other words, amateurishly low. If you want quality, talk to Sister-san, or send me donations for a higher-rez camera. PayPal preferred.

As thanks for your indulgence, I'm willing to take requests. Send me on a photo scavenger hunt. What would you like to see?

Today around the world: July 25 is Senor Editor's birthday. Feliz cumpleanos, Senor!
