Morris Minor
Was out for a walk today and saw this car parked near SE 45th and Stark. It is a Morris Minor. I uploaded these using an iPhone application called Pixelpipe. Pixelpipe allows you to upload multiple images to a number of sites at the same time. For example the images above were uploaded to Flickr, Facebook and my blog all at the same time.

Busted Wordpress Plugins...
On Saturday I noticed that my school web site lewiselementary.org
(which is run on Wordpress) was not loading. I tried to login but
could not even log into the site at all. After sitting around thinking
about what the problem could be I decided that it must be one of the
many, (maybe too many...) plugins I was running on the site. I was
able to FTP into the site and then moved all the plugins out of the
Wordpress plugin directory into the parent directory. This solved the
problem, but now I need to figure out which of the plugins was the one
causing the problem. I was going to write about this this morning,
when I noticed that this site was not coming up. I again applied my
trouble shooting model and moved all the plugins out of the plugin
directory and now the site is up. I plan to print out the directory
listing of each plugin and do some cross referencing and
troubleshooting later today. Will let you know which one I think was
acting up...

Crown Point, Columbia River Gorge
I spent the past few days at a workshop near where this picture was taken. The location is in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic area. An area just 30 minutes and a world away from Portland.

Playing with Recorder App on the iPhone
I have been playing around with Recorder (http://www.recordertheapp.com/), an iPhone application for recording audio. On Friday, I was visiting Ms. Davis' 3rd grade classroom when a student named Cordell came up to me and asked if her could read a poem to me. I clicked into Recorder and below is the result. I plan to do this more often and use Recorder to record conversations with Lewis students and staff.
David Merrill demos Siftables, the smart blocks | Video on TED.com
I really enjoyed this talk by David Merrill. Reminds me of my visit to our early childhood classroom last week to watch the kids play with their new light table.
