Your Facebook vs. My Google+
So I was thinking about my new Google+ account; why there are some that absolutely love G+ and those that hate it vs. Facebook.
I've come to the conclusion that Facebook is built and inspired by the random, off the cuff, and many times, unscrutinized thoughts that would usually inspire an impulse buy at the grocery checkout. You post not thinking about who sees it and you usually just don't care. The lack of thought process that goes into posting on Facebook usually leads to the all-empowering curse of Internet; flaming and spaming... not to say that there are not good people or posts out there.
Google+ on the other hand is a stark contrast. Your Circles force you to actually think about where these posts are going and therefor give you a moral path to follow on who you're posting to let alone what you are posting.
This is what is going to distinguish who likes and doesn't like Google+. Those that have a reason to post, a purpose or mission behind their content are going to absolutely love G+. Those that are just socialites that live in 'their own world' will continue to love and support Facebook.
To all my friends on Facebook, I still like you. 
Viva 'la Google+!
+1 For Google+
Hurray! Thanks Kelly! I finally got my Google+ account activated by invite. If you want one, just let me know... I might circle you...
4th of July Fireworks
Happy 4th of July! We went out again this year to "our spot" and took some photos. Was hoping to get out to some random lake or something but with the fun little appendectomy, our plans changed to a more simple route.
I wasn't too happy with my camera gear this year. It was slow to write to the memory card, wouldn't stay in focus, wouldn't be ready in time for the next shot, etc. etc. *insert sob story here* ...but for those that can get past the blurriness, click Continue reading for some samples of tonight's shots.
