- Then this fellow pops up...

http://monki.biz/1r Publishing is a tough industry to be in, no doubt about it. Things are rapidly changing and market forces are being swayed beyond the traditional publisher's influence. Things are now so easy to share and distribute, that these old gate-keepers can no longer steer what people are looking at.

Took a couple of shots this frosty morning and then the battery ran out.
- Facebook == human harvesting.
The film soylent green is about people being harvested for food. That's how I see Facebook. Your details are being harvested for business and advertising. Sure, it can be beneficial to stay in touch with each other, but there's a bigger price to pay. I've come to the decision that the amount of information I'm getting from other people isn't worth the price I'm paying for that lack of privacy and having my details flogged to advertisers.
- I love scenery like this
stopped on my way home to take this shot
I wish I'd taken longer to take it, but it was on a narrow road. It captures the sense of what I wanted. I'll see if I can get a more please shot another day.
- Drinking a toast to dad.
and this beer tastes mighty fine.
- Happy birthday Bill
Birthday celebrations

- Posterous
Peeps! Who should I be following on posterous?
