Notte Sento: A beautiful short film made with 4500+ still photographs of a girl that misses her train to Milan and is set to wait overnight in Rome. Shot with a Canon EOS 30D camera.
One of the comical things about being stereotyped is that the traits that you’re constrained to sometimes have the advantage of being true even if the people making the assessment don’t know you personally. Christian Lander on Stuff White People Like and Apple products:
White people are reminded of their creativity, and need a Mac to creatively check email, creatively check websites, and creatively watch DVDs on planes. Plain and simple, white people don’t just like Apple, they love and need Apple to operate.Funny thing is that I’m Hispanic and yet I would classified myself in that Apple mix along with many more other funny observations made, which in return has me questioning my heritage, haha.
Garrett Murray introduces Ego: a one central—and lovely—location to check web statistics that matter to you with support for Feedburner, Mint, and Twitter.
There’s time when I’ve posted questions on Twitter that only a select group of people (mostly Mac enthusiast or web designers) would understand and because I currently have my Twitter status to automatically rollover to my Facebook account, I often receive mix responses from followers on Facebook in that they don’t understand the content. It’s apparent in my case, that the audience on both social networks is different.
For that reason, I’ve been wanting to find a way in which I can designate the tweets I want to appear on Facebook instead of all. The Selective Twitter Status application for Facebook lets you do just that. You simply end a tweet with the #fb hashtag in your Twitter post and only those tweets with the hash tag at the end will be posted on Facebook. Problem solved.
What Twitter Offers Me
She may not openly admit it but I have sneaking suspicion that my fiance doesn’t have a natural liking towards Twitter. Not because of the random typing that she may see me doing on the iPhone throughout the course of any given day but more in trying to understand the indulgence one gets in keeping people abreast of ones status.
It’s apparent that the whole social networking concept is not for everyone but for me, it’s about seeing beyond what the service is for and holding on to what it can offer to my life. Online bonds are a bonus to the experience but the ability to appreciate and notice things that you would not normally give a second thought to is what I admire.
For example, with the intent in trying to find something that’s “Twitterable”, I give mundane circumstances more thought and enjoy the openness that one has in sending out those thoughts to the Twitterverse and getting back replies to your musings. Like why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin? Or why do you need a driver’s license to buy liquor when you can’t drink and drive? These are some deep assessments that need answers.
Some say that some of the most deepest thoughts you may have arise in the least expected of places and if that involves you coming up with the next money making venture while sitting on the toilet, wouldn’t you be incline to Twitter about it? If so, then I’ve just proven my point.
Twitter has become an essential medium to express the mundane and because you ultimately determine who you follow, you in similar fashion determine how Twitter works for you and for me it’s been about being more observant.
