Frizz

Hi I think I’m going to try and update things a bit.  I’ve put a link in to my photos, which isn’t quite working right now… I’ll come back to it.

I was trying to be all cool the other day and post from the Apple store, whilst having my first go on a new MacBook Air, but for the life of me I couldn’t remember how to log on here. That’s what happens when everything is automated, as soon as I’m not on my own computer, it’s all a mystery. The Air was incredibly light…

I’ve had two people email me about this article today.

Are you doing the Facebook thing? I just had a friend get in touch who I haven’t heard from in a couple of years, that’s where it comes into its own.

Some kind of Firefox extension would be good.

Update 2 minutes later: of course there is one.

I went to see the new photography exhibition at Tate Britain; How We Are: Photographing Britain.  Novel idea, they have a computer in the exhibition with Flickr showing.  So I couldn’t resist leaving it on my photos and then watching people as they came up and looked at them, I had to stop myself from going “those are my photos” - how egalitarian is that.  I tried to take a photo of my photo’s ‘exhibiting’ at the Tate, but an officious guard came up and told me it wasn’t allowed, shame.

Frizz was two years old last week. Can’t believe it, no it’s true.  Time goes so quickly…

Yesterday, I met a complete stranger who took me on a trip to the Cape and gave me a sailing boat. A dream, no Second Life. This was my first experience of the virtual world and I actually found it far less ‘unreal’ than I expected. So much for taking on a different persona, at the moment my avatar is an animation replica of myself, hmm… I also couldn’t quite take the virtual world ‘as real world’ seriously, but I can see how it could become totally addictive and in-world you get to teleport as if you were in Star Trek and fly like Superman…

I’m having a conversation with Dan M, do you think the M stands for Moo?  I really want some of their new NoteCards - I was crossing my fingers that that was going to be their ‘promised’ next product - but I’m a little scared about the light thing.  So I’ve now sent a couple of photo’s for him to inspect.  I actually ended up keeping my Moo cards and having not used them much, I handed out loads last week and they caused a bit of a stir.
