Definition: human-created waste that has deliberately or accidentally become afloat in a lake, sea, ocean or waterway. Oceanic debris tends to accumulate at the centre of gyres and on coastlines, frequently washing aground, when it is known as beach litter.Unlike my marketing blog, this is the home turf to the beach litter of my Internet surfing. There's no telling what might wash ashore here.
Thanks for stopping by and mind your step,

Someone on Twitter posted this link, and I apologize for not remembering who. I’ve had the tab open on my browser for a week and I haven’t been able to bring myself to close it, so beautiful are the subjects and the photography. So, I thought it best to share it here. Now maybe I can close that tab!

6 months agoI’m not a fan of chain letters, and rarely participate these things, but I was tagged by my friend Brian Rendel in a Flickr meme. I like Brian a lot and I like Flickr, so, OK, I’ll bite. Here is the sixth photo on the sixth page of my Flickr stream.
This photo is from a trip I took to Tofino, on the west coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia. It is one of Canada’s best places for surfing, but I was there in 2002 to relax and say farewell. I would be moving back to Montreal 3 months later and would not see an ocean again for years (I’m still waiting). This is the view from our cottage. Just a short stroll through the temperate rainforest to the beach, where the Pacific waves came crashing ashore. It was wonderful.
Strangely Brian’s picture was one of exploring, as was Ben’s, the person who tagged him.
I must now tag six other people to post their sixth photo from the sixth page of their Flickr stream. They are six incredibly intelligent, creative, talented, interesting women:
6 months agoLately, I’ve been really enjoying Blip.fm as a place to find new music, reminisce with older songs, play with my friends and meet new people.
Then, last night I discovered a new meme/game on Twitter that’s right up my alley. In Musical Join the Dots (#MJTD) you link words in song titles from one person to the next, like a game of tag. The originating post offers this example:
There must always be some clear connection between each song and the next one. This is usually achieved by linking a word from the title, artist or album name from one to that of the next. For example, ‘We Will Rock You’ by Queen could be followed by David Bowie’s ‘Queen Bitch’.
I was tagged by @DaveFleet with The Final Countdown by Europe. I decided to continue the game in Twitter and augment it with Blip.fm. In turn, I tagged @RandyMatheson with Countdown to Chaos by Bette Dillinger.
In a retro mood, I’ve since, started 3 new games tapping
@TWalk with Tattoed Love Boys by The Pretenders,
@HeatherShorter with Cities in Dust by Siouxsie and Banshees
and @Merlene with Come Undone by Duran Duran.
I’d like to see this integrated with Blip.fm to make the game more, well, musical. To me, it’s more fun to hear the songs and follow the connection that way.
Give it a try!
