Wasted Continuum

I made wish a few days ago. Not really a wish, but more of a question asking the powers that be if I can’t be famous, can I at least be Flickr famous? Well, I’m still not Flickr famous by any means, but for some odd reason, my daily views spiked like crazy yesterday. I wouldn’t consider my photostream to have high traffic. Before this month, I was averaging around 100-150 views a day. Pretty small numbers. These last two weeks, I’ve been average 300-400 views a day. Yesterday, was really crazy because I got 1,106 views. I only post one photo yesterday. Although it was an awesome photo of me doing the Fishstick, it only had 35 views. I don’t really know what it means or really care that much about it. I just thought it was interesting that on a day where I only posted one photo I get so many views and on some days where I post twenty or so photos I get an average amount.

I posted more photos from the San Francisco AI Fashion Show onto my Flickr. You can view the whole set here.

The first day of summer was beautiful. It was so sunny and hot, but not too hot. I took my camera out for a photowalk. I ended up going to Highland Park in Saint Paul. I wasn’t really inspired by much there. It’s mostly grass and trees. I got a couple cool plant life shots. I think my favorite shot was this spiral ladder at the playground set. I took a photo of it at a downward angle. I think it turned out quite well.

As you all know, I love twitter. Twitter is the glue that holds all my “social media” sites together. When it’s down, is when I realize how much I use it. I never knew how much I wanted to use a micro-blogging system until I tried twitter. There has been a lot of twitter alternatives that has come around and Plurk is the most recent one. I must say that Plurk definitely punched twitter where it hurts. In the last week since I’ve heard about it, I’ve seen many people not only try out Plurk, but abandoned twitter for it.

So I’ve been a little down lately since my grandfather’s in the hospital. (He’s doing a little better today). After I left work today, I wanted to pick up the new Weezer album hoping to cheer me up. To say that music is a huge part of me is a massive understatement. There is almost always a song in my head or pumping into my ears or in my fingers when I’m holding a guitar or sitting in front of a piano. As I listened to the new Red Album, I got to track four, "Heart Song". It’s about the songs that has that have been there for Rivers Cuomo.

I took a great photowalk today at Minnehaha Park. It really was more of a photohike. I shot a lot of photos. You can view the whole set here.
