There are a lot more images…but I decided to post the condensed version…for now Yes, there are some stories to tell, but generally the photos speak for themselves. Enjoy:
**Forgot to upload the image links. Fixed now **
The next photo blog with include photos from the Freaks and Fetish Event…and possibly the Dallas Suscon too.
About 6 months ago I got suckered into joining Twitter. At the time I thought it was completely pointless, but it did help to pass the time when I was stuck somewhere and only had a twitter feed via my cell phone to keep me entertained. Soon though I upgraded to an iPhone and real web browsing became far more interesting than twitter texts. So I pretty much lost interest. Yes, I kept using twitter, but mainly as a tool.

You’ve probably noticed the automated updates when I blog.
Generally, I still think twitter is pointless. Most people tweet complete garbage. "I am brushing my teeth right now." Guess what? No one cares. If they do care, it’s generally someone that is completely obsessed with you….and if this is the case, your stalker happens to know where you are and what you are doing.
Plus if you subscribe to thousands of people on twitter how much good could it possibly do? The only logic I see there is that if you follow other people they might follow you…but the interface is setup such that if you follow more than a handful of people, unless you directly message or send @replies, you really can’t keep up with any conversation or stream of thought. Basically unless you are subscribed to just a couple of people you are mainly a voyeur watching fragments of other conversations…or a stalker …until now.
I have finally found a good use for twitter. OK I’m hardly the first person to find this feature, but I’m starting to use it now and I hope to find others that do as well. If you do this regularly, please let me know and I might follow you. What am I talking about? Uploading photos. If you read this blog then you know I try to add interesting media. Photos being one of the main things. Generally my photoblogs are just images I run across and find interesting. Here are a few examples:
Pointless maybe, but interesting enough to snap a quick picture. I’ve got an app to upload it to my blog, but they usually need some formatting, tweaking and content filtering before they go up and that means time. Now however, I’m using an app so that I can upload a quick shot with short caption. Ex:

Yeah pointless as well…but come on …sometimes it’s the pointless stuff that makes life a little less….um pointless?
