Blogging with a cup of home made espresso

coffeeI love coffee! No, I’m not an addict :) I mostly drink for the experience. I’m writing this post sitting at a local Barnes and Noble, sipping Starbucks Cappuccino. If I didn’t have a cup of coffee I would feel like something is missing. When I wake up in the morning first thing I do is make myself a cup of coffee. I like to experiment. Let me explain. At first I would go to a local coffee shop to get a cup on my way to the office. I then realized how expensive it can get and decided to buy a nice espresso machine for my house.

And your favorite magazine is…?

entrepreneurI have only one. It’s called Entrepreneur. I had some frequent miles left that were not useful for anything other than signing up for some magazines, so I decided to go ahead and sign up for a bunch of them. Of that bunch there were Entrepreneur, Wired, Fast Company, Inc, and Forbes. To my surprise, or maybe confirmation, the only magazine that I could read from cover to cover was Entrepreneur. Not only that, but I couldn’t wait till next month to receive the next issue.

WordPress for BlackBerry

WordPress just announced a release of a BlackBerry application that allows you to manage all of your WordPress blogs from any BlackBerry phone.

I’m writing this post on my BlackBerry Tour. The application is really easy to use, it is packed with features and looks great!

I highly recommend this to any WordPress user that has a BlackBerry phone (iPhone version is also available). It is becoming more clear that WordPress is years ahead of its competition.

You can download this application from BlackBerry World App site by searching for the keyword: wordpress.

Happy Mobile Blogging!
