Facebook Timeline
The new Facebook Timeline is nice. Maybe I’ll stick around a little longer. Maybe.
blog update 092011
I haven’t posted a true blog update in I don’t know how long. If anything, this isn’t a real update. It’s just an excuse to write something on the blog. An excuse to write something more than 140 characters. An excuse to stay away from Facebook. An excuse to do something other than post a video or photo set or bitch about work (although I probably will do that as it is something I’m really itching to do).
I’ve also found that Posterous just isn’t working out for me. It originally was a central place to post easily from (a) my Android phone or (b) my iPod touch. It consisted of primarily photos and videos of Sophia. It was convenient to send to Posterous, where the site would automatically post to Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, etc. Earlier this year, I did away with hosting and mapped the tenyjr domain to Posterous. Then I found that all the videos posted on Posterous just bogged it down, preventing the home page from loading properly. At this point, I felt Posterous served its purpose. So I’m attempting a return to WordPress.
To keep things interesting, I will try to post daily. If I have nothing interesting or new to say, I will most likely post an image from the archives, similar to a photoblog I used to maintain years ago. This weekend, I hope to remap the tenyjr domain to point it here. I enjoy using the social networks and will continue to use them. But teny jr dot com is my home on the web, and I have creative control over it, something I feel I’ve been lacking lately.
If you choose to visit me, follow me, friend request me, +1 me, block me, hide me, or unfriend me, do what you please. But if you do decide to stick around, I hope you enjoy your stay.
monday shuffle 090709
I was tagged in July on Facebook with the note below. I think I will make it a weekly meme of some sort just to see what comes up each time.
Once you’ve been tagged… (1) Turn on your MP3 player. (2) Go to SHUFFLE songs mode. (3) Write down the first 15 songs that come up–song title and artist–NO editing/cheating, please. (4) Choose some number of people (more than zero, fewer than all) to be tagged. It is generally considered to be in good taste to tag the person who tagged you. (Edit: If you’ve already done this note and had the nerve not to include me, feel free to just forward your original one my way — these things take too much work as is.)
If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about your musical tastes, or at least a random sampling thereof.
(To do this, go to “NOTES” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, enter your 15 Shuffle Songs, Click ‘Preview’ below to tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click Publish, the little blue box at the bottom of your screen).
