Liberation from the Facebook Friend
Just a quick post tonight about Facebook. Over the last two nights I’ve spend an hour or so culling approximately 300 ‘friends’ from my modestly sized Facebook list. Continue reading Liberation from the Facebook Friend

Social overload?
We went to the movies on Saturday (we saw Bridesmaids & loved it btw). I picked up a $10 rewards card when I bought the tickets at the counter. Apparently I get a discount or a free ticket next time I visit the cinema (can’t remember which). For $10, I figured this was a reasonable buy and the young woman behind the counter was friendly & efficient & the purchase process was seamless (another $10 on my existing transaction).

365Days: Notes three months in to 2011
Well I’m now three months into my 365Days project. My intention was to take one photo per day using Instagram on my iPhone, then upload the image immediately to Flickr. I’d then collate all the individual photos, add tags and descriptions into a set in Flickr. It’s been interesting because it hasn’t always gone as I’d planned.
