This is hillsidelounge.com version 4.0. HSL 1.0 was a handwritten ASP website hosted under the desk where all the digital photos I took were posted pretty much unedited and without commentary. HSL 2.0 moved to a Gallery powered website with more functionality and the ability to add captions. HSL 3.0 moved to a real datatcenter using wordpress, gallery, and finally flickr integration. I handpicked the photos and blogged to add some context. HSL 4.0 is now born. It’s mobile publishing and flickr using tumblr and facebook. All geared to a more evergreen package that fits the new time squeezed family reality.Tumblr (3.0; @hillsidelounge)http://hillsidelounge.com/<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l74t31NxLD1qaon1eo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>New haircuts and the loot required to get it done.</p>http://hillsidelounge.com/post/951434096http://hillsidelounge.com/post/951434096Sat, 14 Aug 2010 15:34:46 +0800<img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l6qh5onoFj1qaon1eo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Jacob enjoying the waves and beach.
