Look what I can do!
Well, me and Picasa.
I had no idea these options existed until someone tweeted about it the other day. I am definitely going to have a LOT of fun with these new toys. This collage is of a lunch with Sara & Steve last week at Becerrita, and of cocktails on the rooftop terrace at the EME hotel afterwards. You can see a couple more examples below…

Build it and they will come…
So remember back in March when the fabulous Sexy Beast developed a crack in her casing and had to go into computer hospital for over a month, which resulted in me buying Shadow as a back-up computer, because I couldn’t be left unconnected at home? Well, ever since SB came back it seemed to me that she was running very slowly, especially compared to Shadow. So she has been somewhat neglected. Until now…
twitter lunch

The other day I met the lovely Anna on Twitter via a mutual acquaintance and, after tweeting back and forth a bit, I asked if she would like to meet up for a cold beer one day. And yesterday was the day. The plan was to meet for a pre-lunch beer and so I suggested Zaragoza 64 because they serve excellent Galician beer there, far superior to the pale and tasteless Cruz Campo, which is the bog standard lager sold in bars here. I’m not much of a beer drinker but I really like the taste of Galicia Estrella.
At the last minute Anna also invited her very charming Twitter friend Pedro to join us and – you guessed it – we ended up having lunch. A wonderful time was had by all. Very pleasant company, lots of laughs, including the very satisfying discovery that we are all “strong and bossy” types, which led to a few good anecdotes about those who feel the need to label decisive people “bossy”. We are also all a bit gadget crazy (who me?) and I couldn’t help but smile when Pedro took out his iPhone to send a few tweets. And also all expats – from Italy, Venezuela & Canada.
So, it was my first ever twitter lunch – hopefully the first of many.

addicted to twitter?

How addicted to Twitter are you?
It’s not as bad as I thought, especially as I now have two Twitter accounts to keep me busy. I first signed up in May 2007 but didn’t really start using Twitter until last August. Now it’s a serious daily habit and I’ve been making a lot of interesting contacts. In fact, I’ll be meeting one of them for a cold beer later on today.
Twitter isn’t just a cute way for keeping in instant touch with friends on mobile phones anymore. It has ramped up quickly to be the search engine of choice for some with its human driven results.
Applications galore allow you to find friends all over the world with similar interests and keep up with them in real time.
Businesses can form instant direct relationships with their customer bases simply by signing up and using the service regularly, and according to the models Twitter is trying out, they will soon be able to advertise to the Twitter community as well.

Back in February I did a Twitter mosaic of my followers on the azahar account. Below you can see the up-to-date version of the people I am following there. . .
