I took the dive today and got myself one of that DailyBooth accounts. The idea of the site, for anyone who hasn’t heard of it, is to take a photo of yourself every day for fun and to document yourself. Starting today, with the photo to the left, I’m now taking photos everyday I can of myself, so I, and I guess you, can see how I change. As long as I have the capability to take a photo and upload it that day, there will be a new photo.
You can see my currently fairly bland profile via this link I prepared earlier; it only has one photo, featuring my trademark bags under my eyes, but still, it’s there.
If you have a DailyBooth profile, can you leave a comment with a link so I can check it out, and follow you if I actually know you? Would be awesome to see who has an account and who doesn’t.

Hey look at me; I’m on the internet! So here’s one of those posts we all love, where I point out all the stuff you’ve already seen if you frequent the blog, which you probably don’t. Without further adieu; here’s a heap of links.
ON THE BLOG:
-

-
I finally got to listen to Marilyn Manson’s new album, and for the most part
I love it.
-
I made my first post with a poll which barely anyone decided to vote/comment in. If you like
horror movies, please look at it, I beg you. Beg.
Beg.
(NOT SO) ON THE BLOG:
- NOTHING TO SEE HERE GO AWAY.

In the name of rushing and finally getting things done, a first draft version of the main site is kind of done. It can be seen, coincidently, at http://www.zombieskittles.com. There are two basic features, the first being the main menu which links to all our sub domains, plus a few other projects of mine and Courtney’s.
The second took a little help from someone, who for no reason other than his love of WordPress put his hand up to help me. The Latest Updates page uses a plug-in pointed out by Mr David Jonathon to display the latest blog post from each of the blogs listed on the page. The point being to make a page that allows someone new to the site to see what our latest work is on each site.
The website itself is still fairly bland, but later versions will definitely be better than this. I’m setting the bar low so no matter what, people can go “wow that’s MUCH better than the last version”.

Like all sequels, almost none of the original cast is in it. In this case, less Craig, more Aly and Courtney. I had fun editing this, and I’m glad it finally got uploaded. Whether or not it stays up is yet to be decided. Part of the days goal was to set out reviewing coffee and wireless internet throughout Adelaide utilizing only Twitter, and while that isn’t covered in the video, know that essentially it wasn’t planned enough and didn’t reach full fruition. We will probably be attempting something similar again in the future, but a time isn’t decided yet.

Today as a bit of fun I decided to write a small series of reviews of blogs that I read. Sounds simple enough, so I made it interesting for myself; and posted them on Twitter. One blog per tweet, thus meaning I had less than 140 characters to work with. I had the tweets done already, and had them scheduled roughly 30 minutes apart using the handy TweetLater service since I had to work during the time I planned to do this.
So, tweeted blog reviews where the tweet had to be short enough to fit both a URL and the #blog140 hashtag? Here’s the results, in order from first to last tweeted:
 Today I’m going to point out some blogs I found that were well worth the read, either because they were funny as, or rather informative. |
| We’ll call it “Blog140″, because I have less than 140 characters to describe each blog. This should be fun for me at least :D #blog140 |
| 1st -The Problem with Young People Today Is..; Funny blog from the view of an older man who doesnt get kids today http://is.gd/wz5s #blog140 |
| The Mad Cacher’s GeoCaching Blog is a website for all things #geocaching, contains some useful tips and articles http://is.gd/wzfv #blog140 |
| IHTSBIH is the production blog for the Tucker Max movie; gives an inside look into how movies are made. http://is.gd/p9Gt #blog140 |
| Not Always Right is the bible for retail workers; a collection of real scenarios where customers act like retards http://is.gd/7tu #blog140 |
| TwiTip is a collaboration blog focusing on creative tips for Twitter, and various lessons on the social network http://is.gd/68wD #blog140 |
| Drinking For Two is a hilarious blog full of piss-your-pants funny posts that will make you double take. http://is.gd/wzzk #blog140 |

| Tweeterism is another blog that discusses news and tools related to Twitter. A good read for any Twitter addict. http://is.gd/jT1L #blog140 |
 Colours and Light is a stunning blog that makes me cream myself when I visit it. Oh and the articles are good too http://is.gd/wzFd #blog140 |
| And that’s the end of #blog140…FOR NOW. Hope I exposed to you to a new site or two, if you bothered following the links anyway… |
It was a fun experiment; if you saw this, what did you think? Did you end up clicking any of the links? Did you do so now that they’re posted here? And does anyone know an easier way to display a list of tweets besides copying each one into a table?
