Blogging with no point

The old existential question, "If a tree falls in the woods, and there is no one to hear it..." never seemed to merit any thought.  But lately, I have been wondering if blogging has a point for me.  I write my views of tech and living in a state of travel, but the dearth of comments seems to imply that no one cares.  I could say I do it for myself, and continue, but Blogger has made the exercise more work than fun.

So if I stop, will anyone notice?

Flipboard for iPad Review

I want this app to be the One. It is beautiful, it makes Twitter and Facebook a joy to peruse, not to mention news feeds. It is the best app on my iPad, for now. But... I have to load Reeder to get the functions I want, namely to share the things I read with people in my social circle. The sharing function on Flipboard needs a lot of work. Instapaper is there, but not Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, etc. I use Flipboard to post on Twitter, but it could do so much more for me.

Tumbler Blog Expedient

http://exechobo.tumblr.com The recent Blogger debacle left me upset. It was the motivation I need to change platforms. As soon as I have some time behind my MacBook Pro, I am going to go with a hosted Wordpress blog that will combine my two blogs. In the meantime, it is tumble for me.

Mexpedition Battery Case- iPhone pouch

Perfect for batteries, 8 AAs, what else can this handy pouch do? For one thing, it is an excellent iPhone pouch. With a minimal case and screen protector in place, the fot is, well, good. Not snug, not perfect. I like to insert the iPhone with the screen to the pack, or body to which the pouch is attached. Let the case on the back of the phone take any inadvertent knocks. But if you seek the extra protection the Otterbox Defender offers, that won't work. The case makes the package too big for the pouch. So a good solution for belt or pack carry when using a minimal case. May add extra level of protection.

Lonely Planet writes about Exechobo Life

In this article questions are posed that are the fabric of an Exechobo.  I read it and realized that the life I lead is not normal, even if I like it just fine.
