iPhone X

My name is Matt Nelson and I am an Instagram influencer. The new iPhone X from Apple has positively changed my life. It has everything that I feel a phone could possibly need, and more. One of the many features that makes it so great is its ability to read and track heart rate. I am constantly working out and am a big advocate in getting people to track their own heart rate, as it can be detrimental to one’s health. This feature is beneficial to me because it allows me to see just how hard I am pushing myself and keeps me accountable on the days where I am not pushing myself to my limits. One feature that I wish the iPhone X could perform is battery sharing. Let’s say my friend has a fully charged iPhone and my iPhone is on 1% battery. I would love it if there was a way for my friend to share some of their full battery with my dying iPhone. I have thought about this many different times and have also conversed about it with others and everybody that I have talked to says they think it would be an awesome concept. The real question is, does apple have the technology in order to make battery sharing a reality?

Recently, I visited BLK Earth Sea Spirits, a seafood restaurant located in the Pierside Pavillion in Hunington Beach, California. I was there for Sunday brunch to celebrate a friends birthday and I was amazed with so many aspects from the delicious food to the breathtaking views. BLK’s brunch is buffet style and the options are endless. The price was quite reasonable for the quality and quantity of the buffet, and bottomless champagne was included in the price! The service was wonderful as our waiter was continuously checking in on us and catering to our every needs. I was recommended to visit BLK Earth Sea Spirits by some friends and I would recommend them to anybody looking for a top-notch brunch spot in the Orange County area.

I believe that because of growing population, future cities are eventually going to have to incorporate trains and subways. New York City is the most populated city in the United States and without their subway system, it seems like it would almost be impossible to efficiently transport. Bigger cities that are continuously growing, such as Los Angeles, are going to have to find solutions for this increase in population, and I believe subways are the answer. Of course, this solution would not completely wipe cars out, but I do believe that most of the car manufacturers are using new technology to try to make the change to electric only. Another change that I expect for future cities is vertical expansion. We can not create more land for buildings such as apartment complexes and offices, but we can build more buildings and build them taller which creates more space.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
