Lots of neat stuff going on!
The other day I had a bit of a meltdown on Twitter after we were stuffed around by an insulation guy who failed to show up, not earth shattering in the very least on it’s own but it was the end of a very long day where my mouth had given me all sorts of drama (the socket where the tooth was removed has cut its way through the gum).
So I was just a little fed up on it all.
But the thing is …
Whilst I am a social media professional I must admit that there are times, long, dark times that I really don’t get Facebook, no I mean I get what Facebook does and is and how it can be leveraged to help you promote yourself and to keep in contact with friends and all that stuff.
Personally though I really don’t use Facebook well. There has been times when I have shut down my account and then come back to it feeling like I’m ready to start fresh with the service and of course you don’t because the good people at Facebook don’t actually delete your account they just stick it in carbonite and hang it in Jabba’s palace until Leia arrives to dust it off and reanimate it exactly as it was before.
And once again people are asking me if I’m a pirate or a ninja or a werewolf and they’re sending me drinks and asking me what plant I’d be and people who haven’t seen me in fifteen years are voting for me as best person to live with despite the fact that they have never lived with me and blah!
Please don’t tell me that I can block all that stuff, I know, I just haven’t gotten around to it in fact I have to do a major clean up of my Facebook account. I’ve got a bunch of people on there that I have known in the past but don’t talk to now and probably never will which unfortunately helps taint Facebook for me.
The following video is really just wonderful and I completely get where she is coming from! There is some swearing so send the kids and the olds out of the room:
I’ve also got to work out a couple of other things over on Facebook but if you too are on there and would like to be my friend (please don’t poke me) send me a friend request but tell me who you are!!

So last night I was talking with Dan Hughes of Midnight Movie Club fame about just general stuff (I think he was bad mouthing you all and I was defending you guys). Anyway we do this via Skype because a video will show up at the bottom of the screen so I can watch myself which is pretty much my favourite topic ever. Anyway every once and a while something would show up on the screen distracting me (no not Dan’s head, though admittedly it is distracting).
Take a good look at this screen shot and tell me what you think is wrong:
What is wrong in this screen shot!!? Click on the image to make it biggerer.
Okay enough of that silliness the actual thing that I’m looking at is this:
Some weird icon that showed up on my Skype page and freaked me out
It showed up and disappeared several times during the conversation. I have a theory but it involves aliens disguised as cats trying to download my brain through the computer and I’m not about to make that theory public…
