Week 3: I'm beginning to think I suck


I finally managed it (see above), but i found the whole process of putting an image from flickr on my blog rather difficult.I did however dig the flickr color pickr and some of the other related applications.
I usually use Photobucket, and I found flickr a lot harder to use. Perhaps just because I've never used it before. Perhaps because I'm old.

I thought I was reasonably tech savvy, but I am so not.

I do really enjoy sharing photos though. My friend Dan takes the most amazing pictures of his surroundings, and in the past I've tried, and we used to share them on yahoo chat. He's recently made his flickr private, otherwise I'd share some of them with you as they are too good to miss.

I'll try putting some photobucket pictures on my blog, just to get that sharing feeling....

What have we got here, hmm?:

  • A have your say form from back in the day.
  • A praying mantis i found on the road and actually *touched* to get it on some grass.
  • Whitcoulls Santa! "Come closer little girl..."
  • The Xmas trees they put on the National bank.
  • A picture one of my staff stuck on my wall a few years back.
  • If my team at ACL had T-Shirts, they'd have this image on them. Miss you PS.

I've got so many pictures of 'hilarious' things in my photobucket.
I love looking back and seeing pictures of stuff I had long forgotten about.

Which leads me on to one of the other exercises, talking about technology I love:

Long live the crappy camera phone!


How else can you catch yourself and your friends at your worst, without carrying around a big camera all the time?

I love them, and recently got a new phone with a relatively jazzy 2.0 mega pixel camera. I'm regretting it. I like the cloudy, fuzzy quality of the the ones on my old phone (see above).Lets face it, the other negative is that those close up emo shots of me trying to look mysterious are just not as forgiving with the new camera...

Here is one from my new phone, but i think it's lost all its charm.


Love the content though. My little obsession...

Good day.

RTT your blog rocks the party.
That photo of PS made me laugh and then cry. Wish it was like that again. It was so fun. Do you think life will ever be like that again? Drunken and hilarious?

You're the MANTIS.

Peace. xxxxx

Also mysterious is how you keep getting more & more facebook friends!
Cut it out, biatchi!
