July 4th, Independence Day, marks the halfway point of the American Imperial Calender. Being the totally awesome party dude that I am, I am using the occasion to make a few interesting changes to my blog. COWABUNGA!

I downloaded some plug-ins and widgets and stuff that will optimize the look of “Irregular Brain Movements” when you view it through your iPhone, iPod Touch, or some knockoff thereof.

If you look at my blog with your smart phone, the blog'll automatically format itself to look something like this.

I’m pretty well convinced that the future of our Internet lies in such devices.  Ever since the day I got my smart phone (a Palm Pre), my life, frankly, hasn’t been the same.  Up 60% of my web viewing, I’d say, is done on my phone’s portable, convenient, indispensable little screen – even when I’m at home.

Internet always at my fingertips.  The entirety of the noosphere but a few greasy thumb-presses on a touchscreen away.  Like a Library of Alexandria worth of information tucked into your cargo pants pocket.

The more that websites – even dinky little blogs like this one – adjust to this mobile reality, the more ready they’ll be for the next growth spurt of techno-cultural development we’ll all be going through these first 2-3 years of the 21st century’s awkward adolescence – the 20-tweens.

Speaking from my own smart phoning experience, it’s always so much nicer to view a website that’s taken care to “broadcast” even part of its content in a mobile-friendly format.  And when I’m on the move, often mobile content is all I’m really able to consume.  But hey, don’t take my word for it.  What the hell do I know?  Twitter, Facebook, Google and Wikipedia have all found ways to cram what they do into the portable touchscreen market that Apple created by way of a concentrated burst of Steve Jobs’ own vital life force.  Those tight, black turtlenecks were designed to focus his prana to his ajna chakra, you know.  And wasn’t it sometime after the launch of the first or second incarnation of the iPhone when his health started flagging?  The somewhat less inspired but no less revolutionary follow-up, Jobs’ iPad, might’ve cost poor, ailing Steve his last drop of Chi.

Alas…

If you’ve been paying attention in class today, you’ll know I’ve also found a way to make mobile posts to my blog while on the go go go in chi-ka-go.

If you’re thinking about getting mobile, too, I’ve found an exercise regimen of deep, diaphragmatic breathing helps –
