Take the day off

Posted by: Jim MacMillan | Comments (0)

I woke up in New York, and my friend told me our hotel wanted $17/day for Internet access for my laptop.. So, hello from my iPhone.
I shot a few pictures on my way to the train station, but I won’t get back to the Daily Mac until tomorrow, or later.
There won’t be a lot of holiday in my weekend. Safe travels to anyone hitting the road!

I shot this video with my iPhone on the R train near 42nd Street just now. Now I am emailing it via Posterous, hoping to see it auto-post to my blog and maybe even send a tweet.

Take the weekend off

Posted by: Jim MacMillan | Comments (0)

I will be traveling for a few days, and won’t be posting my daily tweet digests or much else before Tuesday, if not later.

I’m not yet sure if I can do it, but I am even thinking about staying offline all weekend. Wish me luck!

Sent from my iPhone… Emailed to Posterous.. and auto-posted to my WordPress blogs.. and maybe even auto-tweeted #ifeverythingworked
