When you’re sick things kind of stop.
Your body is busy defending itself against invading germs, leaving you with just enough energy to watch TV…
That’s how this post originally started. After that second sentence I became blocked.
I always run into this problem. I’ll start writing something and then start thinking, “Who cares?”

The first picture app I started using was Picplz on my Android phone. There wasn’t any other options for me to go to. At the time the app that had all the media in a tizzy was Instagram – and they were iPhone only.
But I wanted to post my pictures – easily and quickly too! And starting out picplz handled that quite handsomely. So I went on my merry way, snapping pictures on my Droid and using picplz to get them online quickly.
And then the Verizon iPhone came out and I gobbled one up as fast as I could. I installed both picplz and Instagram on my phone right away – Instagram to try out and picplz to resume my account.
I tried out Instagram quickly and swiftly After running through its basic feature set I deleted it out of a sense of loyalty to picplz.
I should let it be known that when I first started using Picplz its quite affable and friendly founder – Dalton – quickly followed my account and liked a picture of mine. I further went on to write an unofficial WordPress Picplz widget that was again liked by Dalton and praised by other Picplz users. All of this instilled in me a relatively strong sense of loyalty to Picplz that I find kind of hard to break.
So today I’m on my second day of vacation in Miami and ready and willing to share my experiences through pictures. I would normally turn to Picplz to help me accomplish this task however recently two points of friction have caused me to not use Picplz as frequently.

A little while ago I wrote a post that had an idea for a list of ‘best things’ and ‘worst things’. It was a quirky idea based off then-recent observations of my over-use of the phrases ‘the best!’ and ‘the worst!’.
What’s interesting to me is the fact that those phrases haven’t gone away. Although the frequency in which they’re said has decreased, they seem to have crept into my daily way of talking – and I’m not alone. I see and hear other people using those phrases – ‘the best’ and ‘the worst’ – all the time now, leading me to believe that I’m not unique in their use and far from being their creator.
For those who know me I am a computer enthusiast and programmer. I have recently decided it was time for me to learn a new programming language, namely Python. I’ve been reading a lot of theoretical books on how to program Python, however there is something that can’t be taught without actually programming.
