There are a few things in life that I am very passionate about. At the top of my list is my family. Another passion is online technology. So when my wife let me know that we had a new addition coming, it was only natural that I connect the two together.
Your Going to Twitter What!?
I have never really gotten into Twitter before. After all, I honestly don't think there would be anyone out there with a desire to know when I go to Starbucks or what meeting I am late for. But when it came to the little one, my friends and family would want to be kept in the loop. Since I had no plans to "live blog" the event, I figured Twitter would be a great way to send quick updates with out it affecting my job responsibilities as Steph's Coach.
But We Want Photos!
Let's face it, text is good, but what people really want to see is photos! So I created a flickr account with the ability to send photos from my iphone with a few taps of my finger. The photos then get automatically pushed to the blog that I setup for friends and family.
It Worked
Throughout the night, I was able to push quick updates to Twitter. Our families could stay updated with a simple click. At 4:49am, i tweeted (is that a word?) that Megan was born. And quickly snapped a few photos and pushed them to the website.
My Dad is Such A Geek
And Megan, in case you are reading this years later. Yes. i have always been a geek and No. You may not date anyone until you are 35!
One More Thing...
Something that I just can't figure out that i was hoping someone could offer some insight. I am a pretty tall guy - 6'4. So how is it possible that Megan is not even a day old and she already has me wrapped around here tiny little finger! :-)
Thanks again for everyone's prayers and support. I am now going back to staring at my new baby girl!
