I’d never been to Morehead City before yesterday. I’ve been there now. I see no compelling reason to return.

It would be nice…

So that didn’t last long.

As often as not, I was finding myself scrambling at 10PM to take a picture of pretty much anything at all. I may come up with a better “photo a day” concept that doesn’t require the photos necessarily to be taken that day. Or I may not. Either way, I’ll try to do something else photo-related soon.

Please tell me this is a delayed April Fool’s joke

Checking in

I never really started “checking in” and now it looks like I’ve missed my chance. Wouldn’t want to look even remotely out of date, after all.

No, the video is not really related in any way, but for some reason I think of that clip every time I see the “checking in” link on Facebook, and it also reinforces my assertion that there really is a Simpsons reference for every occasion.

My ambivalence toward Facebook is rather well-known but I don’t really believe that people who use it are less intelligent than other people. In fact, many of the most intelligent people I know post very intelligent comments there. The only reason I’m linking to this post is that it makes me happy to see the author using the wonderfully cromulent word “dullards”. It’s one of my favorites and I think it should be used often, if not necessarily about people who use Facebook.

For some reason, there’s been more social networking stuff than usual in my “work” feed lately…
