Today was historical for DoingItLocal as I was at my in-laws all afternoon. I monitored all my office scanners via a combination of software and apps on my cellphone. All posts including the photo was by cellphone. This gives me more freedom to covert the news while still sort of having a life, It also puts me light years ahead of any media whether it be local, state or nationally!
