I’m a big fan of social media, but only when I can use it as a practical tool. (Admittedly, Facebook is an exception.)
When I first began using Pinterest months ago, I didn’t realize it could ever be a practical tool. That’s the thing about social media, I find. You have to take a bit of time to understand the various platforms and what they can do for you. It helps if they’re also fun to use.
Pinterest has become both practical and fun, because I have started to use it as a place to gather all my writing resources. These resources are in the form of hundreds of websites, and articles on these websites. So far I’ve only just begun to assemble them on Pinterest.
Dear Windows 8.1:
You are undoubtedly better than your immediate predecessor, and your level of sophistication blows my old Windows XP operating system right out of deep sea waters. But you perplex me with your endless array of Apps and your promises that my life can’t help but be enhanced with their use.
Your interface stymies me and I am no novice PC user. I know I will figure you out in a matter of weeks and we may then become good friends despite all the consternation you’ve caused me.
But for now I treat you as my Maltese poodle treats chipmunks. I will sneak up on you and try to overcome you before you have a chance to outsmart me. My Sydney hasn’t yet outrun one of those speediest of rodents. You might want to hope for a similar fortune.
“Working on a highway…
laying down the blacktop” Bruce Springsteen sings in one of the great tracks from his Born In The USA album. That was 1984. This is 2014 and I’m working on an album (of sorts) of my own. I consider an album to be a tightly-knit collection of similarly-themed songs. In my case you change “songs” to “posts” and you get the goods.
I’m working on the goods right now and will be back with finished product soon. Stay tuned and enjoy the summer.
