Thanks to @lavagal, I recently rediscovered the wonders of Alltop.  They were kind enough to feature my blog in the Moms topic; it’s a great honor to be included in the illustrious Alltop directory.

I’ve created a custom MyAlltop page which features the feeds to the news/blogs on topics that matter most to me. My topics run the gamut: world/national news sites, parenting blogs, tech buzz, Mac stories, blogging/writing tips, social media tidbits, and Photoshop information.  You can create one for yourself, too.  They have feeds for practically every topic under the sun to feed your need for information.

Just when you thought you were already champuru’d out, here I am with another vehicle for my never-ending quest to overshare.  This time, I’ve created a moblog (mobile blog), where I’ll be posting random photos and videos from my iPhone.  Heck, I’ve got an unlimited data plan on my iPhone that needs some exercise, so why not?

If you look at my sidebar, you’ll find a widget for Champuru Posterous which will show you a thumbnail of my latest entry.  Mind you, it’s all in fun and I don’t promise that my posts will be informative, helpful, or even worth your time – but it’s a slice of my life, pretty much in real time.  And, if you’re following me on Twitter, whenever I create a new posterous entry a tweet is automagically posted with a link to it.  How cool is that?

Do you have a Posterous account?  If so, leave me a comment (or email) and let me know what it is so I can subscribe to your blog.

I’m a total sucker for the latest and greatest gadget.  If it’s made by Apple, it automatically increases the temptation factor by 10.  Truth be told, I had been plotting and planning to eventually get an iPhone, moving our cell phones one by one to AT&T when the contracts with Verizon had expired.  I honestly didn’t think I would be getting an iPhone this soon, since I am a stay-at-home mom and didn’t feel like I could justify the cost of having one, but I wanted to position ourselves accordingly for when the time was right.  After much hemming and hawing, then discovering that the cost wasn’t as exorbitant as I had thought, and with blessings from Hubby who assured me that I “deserve it,” I pre-ordered the iPhone 3GS online.

Some folks love the excitement and anticipation of a launch day but I have a strong aversion to lines, so I decided that I could wait for my iPhone to be delivered by the good old US Postal Service rather than do a pickup at the store.  In my old age, I’m finding that instant gratification isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.  Sometimes waiting can save you a good amount of inconvenience.  This was certainly the case here. My iPhone arrived in the mail today, the day after the launch.

I must say that I am impressed by the speed of delivery by the US Postal Service’s Priority Mail service. It was shipped out on June 18 from Ft. Worth, Texas and arrived in my hot little hands in Hawaii only two days later on June 20!  I was expecting to receive it by Monday at the earliest, maybe even Tuesday, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it in the mail today.

Having been an iPod Touch user for quite some time, the iPhone reminds me of an iPod Touch on steroids. I’ve been playing around with it since Baby Champuru went to sleep, prepping my Contacts List, photos, downloading new apps, etc.

I’m hoping that having the iPhone will enable me to push more content to my blog and, of course, to Twitter.  I am especially excited about the new video feature on the iPhone as well.  Imagine being able to shoot, edit and upload video to YouTube from anywhere! Oh, the possibilities!  Right now though, it’s past my bedtime and I should stop playing with my new toy so I can get enough sleep before baby wakes up.

Not only can Martha Stewart show you how to put on the perfect dinner party, but she can also give you tips on how to start your own blog!
