What's with all the pictures??

If you dip into my items I've shared in my Google Reader (it's there on the right....go ahead....you know you want to) you will see a lot of celebrity glamour photos.  Before I became an IT Manager I was a photographer. I preferred people photography and whenever I got the chance, glamour/nude photography. I still enjoy viewing lots of genres of photos and one of the RSS feeds that I read has had a lot of celebrity pictures, so I've been sharing my favourites.

I promise they aren't porn, I wouldn't share them if they were.  Have a look and tell me what you think.  Good photography is all about the eye....

My latest post, 10 of My Favourite Celebrity Glamour Photos, is a collection of some of my favourite photos I've shared over the past few months. Check it out and leave a comment to tell me what you think.

It's Been Too Long

Once again, it's been far too long since I last posted. I'm posting more on Twitter an Flickr, I can do that from my new Blackberry.  I've also been sharing allot of photos in Google Reader (there has been a run of great glamour and celeb glamour that I thought wa great)., but no pure blog posts.

I endeavor, again, to break that trend.

 Watch for more serious posts and tweets. I will be making an effort to be worth following...:-)

 Talk soon...

A New Year, A New Start

I can't remember how many times I've said this, likely too many, but I aim to raise my profile online.  In the past that was simply stated as "blog more".  Now however, it is more generic (raise profile).  There's Twitter, FriendFeed and more.....and then the blog.  In the end it means the same thing, be followed more. My situation has changed, so I may be able to do it this time  :-).

Comic Book Movies

I've actually gotten to go the cinema a few times over the last few months and been able to see some of the films made based on comic books. I know there are more out now (and some coming out soon), but these are the two that I've seen.  They are also the two that I most wanted to see.  I have a bad (for my wallet that is) comic book habit, mostly superhero titles, so I was eager to see these two films.  I'm not a film reviewer, so I'm going to give you my quick reaction to them.

• The Dark Knight
  I had only heard good things about this movie and it didn't disappoint. It was a long movie (about 2.5 hours I think), but you never realise it, there's no chance to get bored. If you haven't seen it yet, do.
• Iron Man
  I only just got to see this, finding one of the last cinemas that was showing it, and it was well worth the effort. It wasn't obviously CGI, the armor looked as I remember it (I've only just started reading Iron Man (as part of the Avengers)) and they didn't seen to 'adapt' it for the movie. I'm definitely looking forward to the next one.

I've read that Hollywood has really caught the comic book bug. Movies I've heard/read about are Wolverine, Thor, Justice League quickly come to mind. Bring it on.

Back Online (finally)

Changing jobs, moving, changing ISP...It's all been go, go, go around here. 

First the move, I hate moving.  I use to pay movers rather than have to do it myself back in Canada, but those days are gone.  2 months later and we still have a garage full of still packed boxes.  We'll probably unpack them just in time to move again (just don't tell my wife that.  She's convinced we're going to be here for years...she hates moving to).

With the move I was forced to change ISP.  The one I was with didn't cover the area I was moving to.  I decided to take the broadband offered by my phone company. They couldn't add it until the line was transferred after the move (cue wait for 3 weeks). Once my phone was switched on I called to get broadband added. This is were it gets a little confusing, but to make a long story short there was a mix-up at their end and it took an additional 4 weeks (7 in total) before my broadband was active. The problem now is that because I live so far from the exchange (I'm in a new area) I'm lucky if I'm getting over 1mb. I'm seriously considering to bite the bullet and look at getting a package from one of the mobile phone companies.  It's not much more than what I was paying before the move and the speed is better & more reliable.

Also started my new job about 6 weeks ago. Working allot closer to home now (10-13 min) and the work is much more exciting. I was starting to get a little jaded with programming, but I'm now applying the skills to web development. I'm learning new things every day.

Speaking of work, it's late and I have to go to work in the morning...:-)

Here we go again

Less than 3 months ago that I started my current position. It's not that I make a habit of changing jobs, but I've just given notice and will be switching to a new position less the 10 min. from where I live (instead of 1 hr).

Getting more involved online

Every time I promise myself to get more active online...I fail.  This time will be different though. I've spread out and found great ways to involve myself, here/read others views and respond/force my views onto others.  Ways that are more instant or visual than a blog; although I hope to make it all be more active.

• Seesmic
Imagine IRC chat but via short video clips. You may want to put out a question to the community or  reply to someone else. The conversations can be deep or whimsical but it can be thought provoking

• Friend Feed

  Not a social network itself, but a way you can post from any of 35 (and growing) different accounts. A person's feed shows twitters, blog entries, seesmic, youtube, google reader shared items, etc. If there is someone you want to follow, watch their feed. You can also see your friend's friends feed.  What makes Friend Feed even more is the ability to comment on items in the feed. This forms a conversation on a video, site, entry, photo, etc.
• Twitter
Send a quick note via mobile or IM (among other methods).  It could be a quick "What I'm doing now" or something deeper.  To me it's greatest strengths is when it's combined with the other two.  Your tweets (twitter messages) shows up on your Friend Feed and you can have Seesmic send a tweet when you post a new video comment.

My goal is to twitter more, comment more, post more and just be a more interesting person online. Fingers crossed.
