Cool photo weekend

Thanks to the coolest boss ever (Ed Schipul – Brand to Be Determined), I had the most fun with my camera this weekend. He let me borrow his zoom and wide angle lenses. You can see the results by visiting my flickr account.

I washed my boyfriend’s ipod shuffle!

I washed my boyfriends (Josh) ipod shuffle. Not only did I wash it, but I completely dried it. Guess what… IT STILL WORKS like a charm! Apple is awesome not only for it’s cool product design but the now the durability. His shuffle is proof of that.

i am back

Yes… I am going to give Word Press a try. Typepad was used as my first go round in the blogsphere. Then I was tired of paying for service and the interface was too complex and caused more confusion than joy. My time is too precious so here I am.

My last blog had no point and no theme. When you are trying to engage users I think theme is important. I also believe that you should post atleast twice a week or don’t bother having blog. Us bloggers want people to stalk us and we seek people to stalk. So give me good content that interest me. There is something for everyone.
This time I will remember that a blog is a conversation journal style. Please do give me feed back when you are interested in a post. Stop being just a consumer of the neat blogsphere and hit me up with you contributions to the conversation.
