June 2nd, 2011Nelsie making Ajiaco soup. I think Joey might have offended someone with his hand motion.
Hola Colombia
June 2nd, 2011So Joey took videos most daily, to document our trip. And since most of the time I was either filming, or in the videos, I figured they would be good to put here for posterity (plus, i’ve been working on a big recap blog post, and I need a break. It’s TLDR even for me so far).
Don’t Drink The Water
May 19th, 2011I thought I had this video on my site already, but couldn’t find it when I searched. It is definitely a classic, definitely gross.

April 28th, 2011The sky was a perfect blue, the sun and shadows were hitting me just right, my beard was the perfect length of needing to shave.

Insta Extra Grammy Gram Gram And WordPress From My Phone
April 26th, 2011My last few posts have been short and sweet. Mainly just an image, or very little text. I have been using an app on my phone called Instagr.am. I love it! It is like the auto-tune for photos…basically it can make any photo look better. It is really simple to use. You take a picture. You can then choose to use the tilt-shift feature (allows you to blur and focus a plateau of the image), and then you can choose a filter to use.
It has a great social effect in that you can follow certain users, and then see their images in your feed. In your feed you can choose to “like” an image, or even leave a comment.
I also just discovered extragr.am which is an online portal to view and comment all these images, when you are away from your phone or wish to save an image.
And one more tidbit to this post. I also installed the wordpress app on my phone, so that I could send these pictures, or do quick posts from my phone. I don’t intend to do long posts from my phone, but I did want to share some pictures on my site from all the fun I have been having with instagram. I have created a category on the right for these particular posts.
