And I really stretched myself thin. Despite the fact that I can prepare a blog post in advance and set it to post itself at a particular time – I didn’t use that fine service. Life has been way too hectic lately. I made a pledge to write a post about women in technology on March 24th, the day chosen for Ada Lovelace Day, and I wanted to keep that promise. I admired the initiative, and I felt it was an important thing to do. As of this writing, I have. Twice. This is my third Ada Lovelace post.

I would like the Shapewriter iPhone application to be incorporated into more tools – such as this WordPress application for the iPhone. “Drawing” the word is much easier than tapping. Just drag your finger from letter to letter to spell the words. Tapping out a post isn’t that bad. After all, I type out many tweets on Twitter. The hyperlinks appear challenging. That is why this post isn’t getting any! This is all very entertaining, but enough for now. I feel that the lesson learned is that I can create drafts of posts on my iPhone, but all the extras such as links or videos will be done on the computer.
