Grandpa's Translator in Korea

I spent the evening with my Canadian cousin, aunt, and Grandma and Grandpa Gray. After dinner we got to talking about stories from their life. Grandpa has always had great stories to tell, so I seized the opportunity to get some of it on record, grabbed my iPhone and started recording. Here is one bit that I thought was very fun.

When my mom was 4 years old, her family moved to South Korea with the American Friends Service Committee. As the youngest child, she adapted the quickest to the culture and language, soon becoming the translator for the family and for Grandpa's business interactions. Quite a responsibility, as you'll hear.

New Blog at nately.posterous.com

I am going to try making the move to Posterous, a new blogging engine that has some incredible features, the first of which is SIMPLICITY.

In two weeks I will give a talk at BYU's OPAC, a conference for office professionals (read: older generations who are not active in social networks). I will touch on topics such as Facebook and blogging. I wanted to find the simplest way for them to start blogging, and Posterous is hands down the BEST answer. It doesn't even require creating an account. You can create your first blog post by simply sending an e-mail to post@posterous.com!

Now THAT is simple!
