I snapped a few iPhone photos tonight on the way home.

It’s a lot nicer on my photoblog, this link takes you there.

The pursuit of happiness is something this nation knows all about. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of it is what every American wishes to obtain. Unfortunately, I believe that a lot of Americans aren’t happy and/or can’t find a path to happiness that suits them and their needs. It’s so unfortunate that in the land of plenty, few are genuinely happy.

In ancient times, the people of the world didn’t have a lot of the things that we have today and ultimately take for granted. Even though the Bible and our history books have taught us that these ancient people weren’t always happy, they seem to have gotten by just fine. So apparently, the things that the human race has created over time haven’t made us any happier. Sure, these things were made for our conveniences, and some really do help us out, but they haven’t succeeded in elevating our level of true happiness or created any more time for us. And certainly our happiness hasn’t decreased due to lack of things, or even lack of money.

So I’ve been uploading photos for a few months now to my photoblog and it’s been interesting. I love the Autofocus theme and all the amazing things it does, but it lacked something…

What’s Missing

My photoblog, that is using the amazing Autofocus theme is simply that…a simple photoblog of some of my photos taken from any and everywhere.

I noticed something wasn’t right and I had one gripe about it…on single pages it lacked a bit of class and touch that I think photoblogs should have. Mainly I was looking for a previous/next thumbnail support when it displayed previous and next navigation links under the content. I thought that would be a perfect place to put these little gems.

By default, Autofocus theme puts the navigation to the previous and next posts underneath your content photo. Makes perfect sense, but I figured it’s a friggin photo blog, why not display the previous/next available photo too?

In effort to make browsing TQuizzle.com a little easier for the occasional mobile user, I installed the very popular WPTouch tonight. I have to say, this plugin has got a lot of good features and I’m sure with time it will only get better.

Installing it now is a snap and I had it up and running in less than 5 minutes. Works just as advertised and I whipped out my iPhone to test it out and straightaway, it looked perfect. Nice, clean, simple mobile interface for the blog that users can easily navigate and heck, even comment if they so choose to.

I was a big proponent of MoFuse for a long time, but they just weren’t doing it for me anymore. Sticking ads in my content, not giving me near the customization that this simple plugin does.

So now if you get a tweet about my site being updated or you happen across it using a mobile browser, you should see the magnificent WPTouch in action making your mobile experience on TQuizzle.com much more enjoyable.

Saturday night while watching UFC 104 over at @tshaiebly’s, many of us in the room thought Shogun won the main event. It was close no doubt, but I thought he pulled it off, but the judges saw it differently.

Apparently, UFC Pres. Dana White felt like Shogun won too. That’s one thing about Dana White, he’ll tell you what he really thinks and you got to love that. When asked about another fight, a controversial call by veteran Ref Steve Mazzagatti, White said he that he “shouldn’t even be allowed to watch MMA, let alone referee it.”

I’m a guy…totally a guy when it comes to boobs. I love boobies! What man out there can argue with this? They’re wonderful. They feed us at birth, they look terrific when they grow up, and just all around keep everyone happy.

That’s why, and I’m late in implementing it, that I’m turning the site pink and slapping a nice little ribbon up top. All just a reminder that the boobies are important. The boobies are critical. The boobies are love.

Since this month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, lets be aware of the boobies. Do your part in making sure they’re taken well care of. They deserve it. Also, any monies raised via ads from my goofy site during the month of October, will go to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure fund. So, if you like boobies, and want to help me help them…click some ads, buy some crap. Lets do this together! It only helps the…yeah that’s right…the boobies.

For real info about breast cancer awareness, or just better than some random guy’s blog, hit up the Susan G. Komen site where its chalked full of info, resources, and all your boobie awareness needs.

This year, the wife (@hquizzle) and I got a chance to go down to Austin for Austin City Limits. While I’ve never been to a music festival before, this blew my mind. So many bands, so many people, so many things to see. It was a blast.
A highlight of what I remember us seeing is as goes; Dr. Dog, some amazing Jazz guy, K’Naan, Bassnectar (briefly), Thievery Corporation & Kings of Leon. What an afternoon lineup!
