Installed an Instapaper “Read Later” plugin for WordPress, then uninstalled it when I realized I could accomplish the same thing by customizing the Share This plugin which was already installed. It’ll take two clicks, but Instapaper users can now more easily save my long-ass “Thoughts On” blog entries for later reading. Just in time for a 15-pager on Thailand coming tomorrow… (I also added a +like and a +1 button for Facebook and Google Plus. Maybe someone will use them someday!)
Finally, finally, finally! Caught up on the summaries for our daily GPS tracks. Probably no one reads them, but it feels good to have them done and off my list.

Decided to tag all the McDonald’s videos so that they’ll appear in the podcast. No idea if subscribers will see them retroactively appear in iTunes, though.
Uploaded the last batch of Vietnam photos (Saigon market, mostly) to the Vietnam Album page.

Uploaded the second batch of Vietnam photos to the Vietnam Album page. Should finish up tomorrow.
Uploaded the first batch of Laos photos to the new Laos Album page.

Finally updated our GPS track to the end of the trip in Brisbane, Australia (Unfortunately, I still need type up and add almost 2 months worth of notes to go along with the tracks… but at least the map now shows our entire route!)
Found a few more Thailand photos and added them to the Thailand II album.
Mentioned Brandy’s awesome comment on our Thoughts on Botswana post on FB and Twitter.
Created a new widget for the front-page sidebar to direct first time visitors to the best posts.

Oops. Oksana caught a mistake in the infographic. No idea how I counted 33 countries instead of just 31. Fixed it, though.
Postcard Valet is a travel blog and video podcast by Arlo and Oksana Midgett. They just wrapped up their round-the-world trip and are currently updating this site with stories, photos, and videos from their travels while looking for work in Australia.
