Sorry I made everyone's feed readers freak out. Since I am a delinquent, I let my Dreamhost package expire and the entire Kevin Cupp online empire was taken offline for a few days. It was sad. I was mostly sad that I couldn't work on my new project, my moblog.

What ever happened to moblogging anyway? It used to be the thing to do when cell phone cameras came out. It's not like people stopped caring about what people have to share. Look at Twitter, Flickr, Facebook...heck, look at the internet. The only thing missing is moblogging. We need another moblogging site like TextAmerica (now offline) which was a social network, much like Twitter, where you could post an image from your phone, people could follow each other and comment on photos. I know there's sites like TwitPic, but it's just not the same, and I don't want to clutter Twitter with that stuff. I think photos would be just as interesting, if not more interesting, as Twitter.

Since I'm not up for tackling the project of creating such a large site, I'm just going to create my own moblog the way I want it set up. So far, it's going well, I just need to put the time into it to make it awesome. I'm uploading by email to Flickr to a pro account I use strictly for API purposes for other sites. Then I use PHP to grab the photos I upload and display them how I want and incorporate Disqus comments for them.

Why not just use Flickr to manage everything? I tend to think of Flickr photography and moblog photography as two different types, and I don't want to clutter my Flickr account with crappy iPhone images when I have nice images from my DSLR on there. Also, only Flickr users can comment. Plus this way, I can make my moblog do whatever I want and look however I want.

This might just be a silly idea and I'll start neglecting it because I was too delusional to see it wouldn't work, but once I get an RSS feed working, maybe put it in your feed reader and I promise I'll try to make it somewhat interesting. And if you're interested in my code, I'll probably give that out as well. Let's bring back moblogging.
