FrameChannel Told Me About The Lunar Eclipse Last Night

I had never seen a complete lunar eclipse before. I’ve seen partial eclipses, but never a complete eclipse. Somehow, I always got the news that there was going to be one AFTER it was already over.

Last night, however, I watched a complete and total lunar eclipse, from start to finish, and it was AWESOME.

Yes, of course I took pictures. They’re already dancing across my wireless digital picture frame.

Why was this year different? How did I find out there was going to be a complete lunar eclipse last night, in time to be there and see it?

This year, I have a wireless digital picture frame.

But how can a picture frame tip a person off as to an eclipse?

I use FrameChannel with my wireless digital picture frame, that’s how. FrameChannel lets me subscribe to pretty much any web content with a feed, and I get all kinds of things, PLUS hundreds of pictures, slideshowing across my wireless frame.

That’s how I found out about the eclipse, you see. I don’t listen to the radio, and by the time I sit down to read a newspaper, it’s three days old, but every single time I walk through my living room, I stop in front of my wireless digital frame and watch the content, and when you multiply those little “stops and watches” by a dozen times daily, and when each little “stop and watch” includes pictures, quotations, weather, and NEWS, there’s not much that slips past me these days.

That’s how I made it out to the back yard last night, bundled in my warm coat and a blanket, stationed myself in a lawn chair, and watched the sky give forth one of its many, many miraculous sights. It was a little cloudy, but it wasn’t too bad.

The eclipse was a marvel, and I’ll remember it for the rest of my life. Plus, I’ll get to relive it, because I took possibly a hundred pictures of it, the best of which are part of my ever-moving slideshow.

So, to sum up: Wireless digital picture frame = your pictures, my pictures, friends’ and relatives’ pictures, professional pictures, news, weather, quotations, inspiration, and whatever else you subscribe to.

FrameChannel ROCKS. Check out this lunar eclipse video the FrameChannel NASA channel sent my frame!

When You Have A Wireless Digital Picture Frame, People Will Watch It!

We had people over for dinner Saturday night, and as usual, they couldn’t take their eyes off my Digital Spectrum MF8104 wireless digital picture frame.

For one thing, the weather here in southern Indiana has been really strange these past couple of weeks. One day it’s in the high sixties, the next day it’s in the teens, then we’re having a veritable blizzard, and a few hours later the sun is shining brightly. We had an ice storm so severe it brought down large trees, and the next day it was almost seventy degrees again.

Indiana’s quirky weather is one reason I subscribed to FrameChannel’s weather channel. It’s so handy! The weather comes up every few minutes on my wireless frame, and it’s always current because it refreshes itself every fifteen minutes! Heck, the weather on my FrameChannel station is more current than the weather on any internet widget I’ve ever used.

We also played trivia with the quotations channels I subscribed to. Then, we played “Where was this taken?” with the National Geographic channel, and everybody raced to try and identify all the people in the old snapshots that I scanned a month or so again.

In other words, when you have a wireless digital picture frame in your living room, people are going to look at it. Let me rephrase that: when you have a wireless digital picture frame in your living room, people are going to watch it.

They’ll watch it as though it were a television program, starring everybody they personally knew.

That’s kind of how it is, you know.

I can’t walk through my living room without stopping to watch my wireless frame. I love it so much, there are no words.
