I’ve got to say, I really  enjoy Twitter! In this little world of tweets, I’ve been able to find out more about photography, web design, and a plethora of other things from following people who tweet about these things, than I probably  could have at any other time in history.

Some tweets are just too informative, beautiful, poetic, or practical to pass over. Today, for example, I started my day viewing images from a vintage advert for Citroen 2cvs, (courtesy of Lalla Porter, a whimsical, bygone-era start to the day), viewed work from the photojournalist Michael Kamber, which was so moving, I had to share it with my sons as soon as I viewed it. Staying with photojournalism, I then viewed  A People in Despair: Haiti’s year without mercy by Patrick Farrell and could only count my blessings whilst feeling totally humbled.

A pure arty shot presented itself in this lovely image taken by a photographer in Ireland, Stephen Kiernan.

I discovered a local photographer by the name of Donald Verger who has an exhbition on at the moment called Faces of Innocence and we’ve already arranged to meet up to discuss photography, upcoming projects, ideas.

I’ve started following CameraDojo, and as one who practices TKD, this logo is so up my alley its practically knocking down my door.

On the tech side of things I read about two new image captchas: Google’s new image captcha: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10222514-2.html and Captcha the dog at http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10217682-1.html?subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20&part=sphere. I read up on Embedr,  a free service that lets anyone create a custom playlist of videos from the top video sites on the web.

I entered into a conversation about whether or not “pimping out your twitter background” is a good/ bad/ informative/ obnoxious thing to do and viewed some inspiring twitter backgrounds in the process.

And despite of all this reading & viewing, my sons and I still managed to get to baseball clinic, buy baseball cleats, take a two hour walk where we all did some photography, and had discussions based around the images taken by photojournalist Michael Kamber, have friends over for a playdate, and of course find the time to blog about these finds.

So, all that said, if you fancy learning more about inspiring photography, tech news, or just how many cups of coffee I’ve had in a day, please feel free to also follow me on twitter. I hope not to disappoint.
