Inside the barn
4 stories above the food court spins one of the largest (wooden) fans I have ever seen.
It’s even equipped with pitch control to vary the thrust.
Huge timber frame building
Nicknamed ‘Amish Disneyland’ this is one of the largest timber framed buildings in the US. Inside they have arts/crafts as well as a pretty decent food court.
Chinatown – Washington, DC
Got to hang out here a few weeks ago & went to a GREAT dinner with the family at Clyde’s. Did not make it to the Spy Museum, that’s on the list for the next trip!

You gotta LOVE the WordPress community!
I’ve been trying to figure out how to keep up with all of my Social Networking responsibilities (Blog, Podcast, Twitter, Facebook & Flickr). As I was driving tonight (in a BAD rain storm) I got to thinking how I could make the most impact with the least amount of effort…
Turns out a LOT of other people share the same interest as there are a myriad of plug-ins for WordPress designed to link all of the various Social Networking sites together. My goal: Post an update/picture/video to a single location and have that information populate the Blog, update Twitter & ultimately Facebook.
After a little bit of research and some php editing I think I finally have everything working the way I want it. Since I have a different audience with each application it’s important to have control of who gets updates and who doesn’t. Normally, I usually want to broadcast to everyone.
My setup to broadcast to everyone:
- Email (from PC/Blackberry) to a pre-defined email address
- Postie for WordPress pickups the message and creates a post
- Twitter Tools auto posts any new Blog entry
- Facebook uses a Twitter application to post Tweets to my wall.
All in all it’s a pretty simple process that allows me to post to one group or many. Now I just have to come up with content that people are interested in!
