Facebook

I succumbed to the applications crazed on Facebook. Well I guess it's not too bad since I only have four. I have both Ilike and Last.fm in there, I love the latter but on Facebook Ilike is king.

The other one I added was Flixster, which is pretty fun. I like the 5-star rating, it's not overwhelming. Here is my movie rating system.

3 stars Good but do not plan to watch again
31/2 stars Good and may watch once again
4 stars Good and I would watch occasionally (depends on my mood)
5 stars Good and I'm willing to watch it anytime

Fettucine with Vodka Sauce and Grilled Shrimp

I've been meaning to cook this dish for a while, and I just got around to doing it a few days ago.

Vodka Sauce, LINK

I of course took the easy way with the sauce, but it was certainly good enough for me.

Digital Photography

I've been neglecting my digital photography hobby, but I do keep tabs of the RSS feeds on the subject.

One of my favorite sites is this: The Digital Photography School, LINK

They discuss the technical aspects, plus they give out weekly assignments on their forums:

I do hope to participate at least once this month, fully aware that I'll be putting myself on the spot. In the same vein here's a satirical take on how Internet commentators would react to some of the great photographers' works, LINK
