It’s Christmas all over again! A new app for my phone has me taking photos of everything in the house — including the above. This is SO unbelievably cool. Lenses, filters, the whole nine yards — can be changed with just a finger swipe across the screen.

As I was searching for something on the Web this afternoon, I saw an ad for a national conference for pet bloggers. Not just bloggers. Pet bloggers. I’m not laughing at the group itself*; many pet bloggers raise a lot of money and awareness for totally worthy causes. But it had never occurred to me that there were enough of them to warrant their own conference. It also never occurred to me that blogging was such serious business.
