Sit with mayor. Ask about cats.

The Freeman sat with Kingston Mayor Shayne Gallo on Thursday for a very productive Community Media Lab event in which your questions were relayed to the mayor live during the interview.

Having reached the end of the interview, I decided to squeeze one in and ask about cats. See for yourself.


  

After the stream was over, the mayor said I should call him next time I write about things like this.
"You know how it is," I said.
"No, I don't," he said.

Well, this is how it works:

Meme based on Frustrated Journalist Cat

I can now include that exchange into my belt of "Ivan Lajara shouldn't be allowed to talk to politicians."
The first installment, thus, would have to be when last year I had a conversation with County Executive Mike Hein that involved 'Double Rainbow' quotes.

So intense!

How to post your Instagram photos directly to Blogger from your phone

Instagram lets you post your photos directly to Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr and Flickr. But what if you want to post quickly and directly to Blogger from your mobile device?

Here's what you have to do.

1. On your Blogger profile. Hit "Settings" and set up an email address under "Posting using email." You'll need at least a four-character secret word. It would be something like "LOGINNAME.SecretWord@blogger.com."
2. In Instagram,  Pick up the photo you want. Hit the "..." icon at the bottom right of the image.
3. Instead of hitting 'Share post," hit "Email photo." Send it to your Blogger email and hit send.

Your subject line will be your title. You can add more text if you want. But the photo will appear like this:
