welcome to spiceland.

Have we become lazy? Are we being taken over by our kids? Probably. But that isn’t the only reason we’ve neglected our blog.

We’ve been using facebook for a while now. It allows us to automatically send updates to the people who have noted that they care to hear (by ‘friending’ us). On this blog, we ask people who care to ‘subscribe’. They can do this using the link on the left side or by putting the RSS feed into their news reader. Who does this? Noone! This is one of the reasons we tend to favor facebook. By the very nature of it, people subscribe to get your updates by friending you. The end result? .. no posts here.

Another unfortunate trend is ‘micro updates’. We normally don’t log into facebook and do posts within facebook. We use a Twitter. For the 73% of you who don’t know what that is, it is a sevice that lets you send small little messages to your fellow twitter’ers. Also, we have ours set to update our facebook pages with any twitter updates that we give. The end result? … little micro messages as updates instead of long detailed blog postings with pictures.

What should we do? Well, for now it looks like we are sticking with facebook. We’ll still try to update you all here but we get less of a response. Should you all join facebook? No! In fact, there is something kinda strange about the parental generation being on facebook. We need to be goofier there (yes, we can get even goofier than we do here). You all keep doing what your doing and we’ll try to do better about posting updates here.

Stay tuned for some pictures of Tru’s first soccer game. Erin, by the way, when is that coming about? Normally I don’t get to see the pictures unt
