I wanted to let my two faithful blog followers know that I have a new blog coming this month.  I know I've been a lazy blogger, but when I get this new one started I'm going to do better . . . hahahaha.  I'll reveal the new blogsite very soon . . . until then, you can follow me on twitter @louderthanwords.

UPDATE:  NEW BLOG ADDRESS - http://www.markmoorelive.com/wordpress

I just found out that one of my websites would allow me to make slideshows of picture galleries.  So I decided to try it out first here on this blog.  If you know a senior who would like some rockin' senior pictures send them here www.seniorzrock.com.

It's been exactly one month from the last time I posted something on my blog.  I was reminded of that by a friend this week.  Is my blog dying?  It seems that Facebook and Twitter are trying to kill my blog.  Why would they be trying to kill my blog?

Facebook:  I must admit that I like Facebook.  There have been times that I have been annoyed by it, but it is a really good tool to get information to a select group of people.  It's also a great way to stalk your friends (see my post on that here).  It seems that when I have something to say or pictures to share I find myself looking to facebook first.  I realize that everyone connected to my life is not on Facebook so that's one of the reasons I haven't buried this blog by now. 

Twitter:  I have a Twitter account, but I don't use it.  Why?  The main reason is probably because I don't have a blackberry or iPhone.  It's hard to "follow" people on my little LG VX 8350.  If I don't use Twitter then why would Twitter be trying to kill my blog?  Precisely because Twitter is conditioning people to keep their message within a 140 character length.  If I were Twittering this post it would end at "is my blog dyi" in the first paragraph.  Sure, it's good to keep messages short and sweet, but sometimes there is a need to say more.  

So for now I'm going to keep this blog going and try to update it much more often than once a month! 

 Today is a cool date . . . 09.09.09.  For our family it's even cooler.  Today is Daniel's (our oldest) birthday.  It's hard to believe that he's 11 years old today.  In some ways, it seems like only a couple years since we were in the hospital waiting all day as Amy labored to introduce Daniel to the world.  In other ways, it seems so long ago that he has to be 20 by now (sometimes he thinks he is 20). 

This morning I drove back from Walmart with his birthday present I heard on the radio that the Las Vegas wedding chapels were experiencing huge numbers for weddings today 09.09.09 at 09:09 AM and PM.  So I thought I'm going to hurry back to the house and take Daniel's picture on his birthday 09.09.09 @ 09:09 AM. 

What were you doing on 09.09.09 @ 09:09 AM or PM?
