My Sister Gets Married!

My sister Pam married Robert DeJong at 5:00 pm on 6-7-08 in Estes Park, CO. (Yes, they intentionally set it to be 5-6-7-8. LOL)




















And yes, that IS my sister's Smart Car they're in - she's odd like that.




















The family and the bridesmaids...












And don't forget the Isle of Mull Pipe Band. Bet you've never seen this done before! (If you knew my sister, you'd understand. Totally her.)

Do you Twitter?

I feel a bit behind the curve on this one, but I've finally joined the masses who can be seen on Twitter. It's a platform called "Micro-Blogging" and is a bit of Instant Messaging combined with a bit of Blogging.

For purely social networking motives, users post throughout the day what they're doing, what they're thinking, reply and comment on other's posts, and post pictures.

For more business-related motives, users post new products, links to useful websites, ask business related questions and respond to other's questions. Here's an article on how large companies like Dell & Zappos are using it: Brands Turn to Micro-Blogging

I admit I was a bit skeptical, but after using it for a week or so can definitely see some benefits and advantages. If you're brave enough to give it a try, look me up under copong!
