Going Off the Grid

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

ClosedYes it’s true, I’m actually taking some time off, and spending it offline. Starting today, until the last week of April, I will not be around.

Now, that doesn’t mean my blogs or social network profiles will go quiet. I do have a number of things scheduled to post and share throughout the time I’ll be away from the ‘net, but I won’t be around to respond to anything. So if you leave a comment, or send an email, my response will be delayed!

I look forward to coming back refreshed, with lots of new ideas to share, but in the mean time, ya’ll take care out there!

    How Not to Use Twitter

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Today, I’ve learned how to use Tweetdeck’s filter feature. That’s the little option at the bottom of each column that lets you filter out certain tweets based on any word.

While I’m certainly enjoying getting better at it, now I’m also really enjoying seeing other people enjoy my photos. Today that really became clear to…

    The Problem with Total Surveillance

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 3 minutes

    According to the emails I’ve received just in the past couple of weeks:

    I’m actively seeking employment in Pennsylvania
    I own rental property in Las Vegas
    I have wives and children enrolled in schools in NC, VA and Canada.
    I travel back and forth between San Francisco and New Zealand frequently
    I frequent some “interesting” dating sites, including at least one that caters to cheating spouses. (Great, thanks to whoever used my email address to sign up for that at the same time my wife is across the country, that doesn’t look odd!!!!)
    I am paying for cable internet/TV service for a young lady in Michigan. (Student using their stepfather’s payment info maybe?)
    I shop at some online retailers in England.
    Now, none of that is true

    Back from Vacation – Photos in Changing Environments

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Obviously, I was having too much fun exploring Ireland and Scotland to spend much time updating anything around here the last couple of weeks. I took over 1500 photos and plan to maybe upload a selection of them to Flickr in small batches, as I have time to work on them. With ILTA10 right around…
