Cool Blog Alert!

I don't live near New York City, and the chances are pretty slim that I'm going there any time soon, but it is a city that I would really love to visit sometime in my life.  This blog that I discovered when a friend shared one of its posts makes me want to visit all the more.

It's called Scouting New York, and it's written by a film location scout, and some of the places he finds are just amazing.  Places that the rest of the city never gets to see, or just ignores as they go about their business.  I'm a big fan of abandoned places and beautiful (if sad) urban decay, so this blog really hit the spot.

I'd like to add that the photography is stunning.  You almost get the feeling you're actually there.

Check it out when you have some time.

I've hit a brand new low.

I signed up on Plenty Of Fish the other day.  Not for anything serious, just to see what it's about, but the fact that I did it still makes me wonder if I have a split personality, and the other person in my head is on some kind of behaviour-altering substance.

I will probably delete or clean out my account pretty soon though.  I've always been an advocate of actually talking to a person...in...person...(too many "persons")  instead of online for that sort of thing anyway.

UPDATE:  I deleted the account.  What a waste of time I will never get back.

Who is the Cutest?

Tee hee!  ;-)

New "This is Relevant to My Interests" Website Alert!

I am a bit of a Cold War fan.  Okay, "fan" sounds kind of wrong, so I'll say "junkie".  I find the public service announcements and propoganda deliciously creepy, and I've sworn (rather loosely, however) that I would aquire a radio with CONELRAD markings on it before I die.

That being said, I was browsing James Vaughan's Cold War blog (Atomic Annihilation) and he posted a link to a site that works with Google Maps that allows you to drop a selection of nuclear weapons onto a town of your choice and see the range of damage.

It's a handy tool that can help you prepare for disaster.  Alright, no it isn't, but I have to have some kind of excuse for why I'm having too much fun with it.

Here's the link:  Ground Zero

This blog showcases some unfortunate photograph choices when showing off a house that is on sale.

Finally Got Started

So I made my first necklace yesterday.  Nothing fancy, nothing unique, but it's a start.

I've started a blog for this hobby and the picture of the necklace is there, so if you are interested, here is the link: http://cevjewels.blogspot.com/

NEW FAVOURITE BLOG ALERT!!!!

There's nothing to say here. Just visit.

Twitter

It seems that there are 2 schools of thought regarding Twitter. You either love it or you you don't. I thought I'd throw my two cents in.

I have never been to the Twitter website. I do not plan to go to the Twitter website. I already change my Facebook status more often than half the people on my friends list, and none of them care about what I'm talking about there. Why would they or ANYONE care about what I'm talking about on a site where ALL you do is change your status? Reversely, why should I be expected to care about what they're talking about.

Sorry, I'm not going to inform the world about my harrowing decision between the turquoise or black underwear, or between the Corn Flakes or the Rice Crispies. And frankly, I don't want to hear about how your baby spit up on "daddy's good shirt" or how there's nothing good on TV.

You know what? I wouldn't even care if someone CALLED me to tell me their baby spit up on their dad's shirt or there's nothing good on tv. But, it's still better than Twittering (tweeting? twooting?)

I know I'm not sounding like it right now, but I promise I am a somewhat hip 20-something who isn't afraid of new technology, but only if it isn't useless.

I just don't want to be a twit.
