All smiles
I’m writing this to clarify something: whether this happens to everybody, or that I’m a freak. I remember as a kid, whenever I got sick or in some kind of physical discomfort, my dad used to sit by the bed and explain to me scientifically how the body works, and why I was feeling so. I don’t know what the reason was, but I remember an uncontrollable giggle erupting. Yep, all...

jorgeqfolio: I’m a member of the Nikon D90 Group on Flickr and there’s was a thread started where subcribers were asked to respond to the statement “you are a photographer when…” There’s 2 pages worth of responses so far and I selected my favorite 10.

It's a free service, so what?

Users don’t pay a dime to access the service, and in many cases don’t even have to put up with ads. You can use it if you like, not use it if you don’t like, and not even think about it if consciously not thinking about something is...

Oh Tumblr!
I tweeted: I’m gonna wake up tomorrow, and find Tumblr back up, and read why their clusters got fucked, and then reblog some emma watson pics. #onewish Let’s see.  I did wake up. Score! Tumblr was back, but not up. Boo Tumblr! Bullshit explanation. Done. And that’s all that matters, really. For all the fun we had on Twitter at Tumblr’s expense, I still like this...
