scrambledmindsMixed up thoughts on the web world, photography and life.

So I’ve taken the plunge after a number of years contemplating it… I’ve bought a Mac. I thought that I’d bite the bullet and get into some computer technology where I can generate content rather than piss-fart around tring to get software or hardware working. Well, that’s the desire anyway. I ended up getting one of the new iMacs and it’s a treat so far. I’ve had a few little hiccups in just attempting something while being classically conditioned for the Microsoft Windows world but it’s actually fading pretty quickly. Anyway, these are pretty (quite) pretty machines.

I’ve heard a bit about Flock. I beleive it’s based on Firefox but is full of stuff to make help you get content published to various web forums such as blogs, photo journals (e.g. flickr) and bookmarking sites (e.g. del.icio.us). So far it’s good (I’m writing this in Flock). Check it out: Flock – the social web browser

word.

So… what’s with facebook? Why do we need more social networking on the Internet when most of us suck at it in real life? Why has it become the latest fad? I thought it was around for quite some time and now I’m fielding facebook requests (which my AV for some reason labels as spam ) on a daily basis and I’m pimping out my profile. What good will come of this I wonder?… All I can say is that MySpace is so 15 minutes ago.

I got this link on email recently. It’s a cool flash animation timed to Radiohead’s Creep.
