LOL There probably should be!

I photographed my food for a while but it never turned into an obsession.
After a while I simply couldn't be bothered. Plating for food photography
is a PITA. Meanwhile the food gets cold while you attempt to frame the
perfect shot No thanks. I'd much rather just cook and eat

LOL You won't find me on Facebook. Apparently once you join it's really
hard to unsubscribe. As for Twitter... doesn't that require a specific type
of cell phone? I only have one for plane-jane emergencies, such as if my
car breaks down and I need to call for roadside assistance.

I'm coming late to the game I guess. I bought a digital camera and
that 's when I really started to take
an interest in photographing everything. It's not an
obsession........yet. ;-)

Here's my Easter table. It was bright and cheerful and pretty if I
do say so myself.

Food photographs in magazines bear as much resemblence to reality as do
the models of entrees displayed outside Japanese restaurants. The stuff
is not meant to be eaten.

You will find me on Facebook but only if you know my alias. I didn't use
my real name there, same as I do here. If I decide to turf the Facebook
account, it's simply a matter of abandoning it. After all, I only
registered because my grandkids wanted me to. They, and select friends,
know my alias and are the only ones I communicate with.

I never bothered with Twitter because I couldn't see any usefulness, at
least from my perspective.

Mobile phones I have aplenty. I need to carry three around at any given
time, two being for my work and one for my private use. Maybe I can
convince my employer to supply me with an iPhone, maybe even an iPad. An
iPhone would be more interesting to tinker with than my current phones.

Until you're paying for three phones out of your own pocket, please
refrain from "bragging" about them. You're not impressing anyone.

Looks like it should be in a magazine! Love your vase. I'm the vase

Me too. I love my computer but I still haven't even bought a cell
phone. I should get one of those pay as you go
'drug dealer phones' to keep in the car in case of emergencies I
guess. But, other than that, I really don't care to be that
accessable. I don't give a damn what anyone else is doing every
minute of the day and they don't need to know that about me either.

I use facebook, I don't use it everyday, my family and friends are dispersed
and it works for me as a bulletin board I can look at or add to as time
permits to catch up on what's going on. Posted our wedding pics, and new
puppy, etc rather than sending 15 emails. It's convenient. I have it
configured so only 'friends' can view or use. My daughter in law posts pics
of grandkids and pets sooo it took my time to realize its use I now am glad
to use it.

Heh. Sounds like some of the folks mentioned in that article suffer from
OCD, IMHO.

Having said that, I do enjoy seeing other r.f.c-ers' (home cooked) food
photo's (and I even take a few of my own occasionally). There are
plenty of r.f.c. food bloggers out there - and of course there is
always a.b.f. You can keep Facebook, Myspace and their ilk,

Lots of people know that. Doesn't make it true, though. I think it's
comparable to this group. If someone does something really
embarrassing, it would be impossible to erase all trace of themselves
here. For instance, I have every single one of your posts archived on
my hard drive...just kidding. I have maybe a dozen posts from this
group saved, all recipes. What usually happens, both for this group and
for Facebook, is that people just drop out. They don't say goodbye,
they don't unsubscribe (at least at first) and often they don't even
decide to quit. They just stop reading, and then stop posting. Same
with FB. If somebody has saved that embarrassing picture to their hard
drive, it's gone. You can plead with FB all you want. They can't erase
all trace of you from FB. It's a social networking site. If you don't
want to share, maybe that's not the place for you. On the other hand,
it has pretty sophisticated security, so you can limit your sharing.
From what I've read, people have gotten in trouble because they have
shared with their friends, not realizing that friend "A" is also friends
with their boss. Then when they slam their boss on FB, that slam goes
right to their boss. Just like Real Life.

For those with more structured lives, people who want to leave FB post a
goodbye message to their wall, and then select the "deactivate account"
command. I had a friend do that. She tried FB, and said it wasn't for
her. She said to feel free to Email her. Her husband is still a FB
friend, though. I thought her son and GF were also, but I guess not.
The GF's mother is, though, so I guess that's why I see so many pictures
of her.

> As for Twitter... doesn't that require a specific type
> of cell phone?

I don't know. I suspect you can send messages on your computer, but
what would be the point? My read of Twitter is that it is for people
with smart phones who are stuck in line and have nothing else to do.
That's what my daughter and her friend do, anyway. I've got no use for
it.

I know that my cell phone can send and receive messages from FB, and
it's not a smart phone, but I see no need for that, plus it has a
numeric keypad, and it's bad enough entering telephone numbers and names
for people I call frequently.

I only use the computer to send stuff on Twitter. You don't have to
have a special cell phone or anything.

The point is to get the message out to everyone, at once. I don't use
Twitter that much, but I read it a lot. I have a lot of food folks,
plus friends that I follow... I keep pretty up to date with what is
happening in the food world.

People you wouldn't suspect, are on Twitter... Tom Colichio is on
there, so is Michael Ruhlman, Ruth Reichl, Ree Drummond aka The
Pioneer Woman, and a whole host of chefs, cookbook authors (Anne
Willan, Dorie Greenspan, Zoie Frances of Artisan Bread in 5 minutes,
David Lebovitz, Pim of Chez Pim, Paula Wolfert,) and others. A LOT of
food bloggers are on Twitter, and I like keeping up with them.
Sometimes someone will say there are at such and such place...and ask
if anyone wants to join them for dinner, lunch or whatever...

And sometimes they post interesting links to articles, videos ... I
get a lot of new good information that way, that I really enjoy
reading. And some of those links to articles I have posted here

Twitter also became valuable last year when the newest Iranian crisis
happened...with all the protests, etc. It was the ONLY way that news
could get out to the rest of the world about what was happening. And
Twitter stepped up to the plate and helped keep it available in
Iran..and a lot of folks helped keep the news flowing from that
region. It is still one of the main ways news gets out now, about
what is really happening there.

I hate it when people's posts are available to "friends of friends"...
there's nothing worse than seeing small talk clutter from people you
don't know or don't want as friends. Either other people got smart or
I did because I don't see anyone who isn't a friend anymore - unless
it's a comment attached to a post of someone who *is* a friend.

You know what else is great, especially with infants? Using your
laptop's web camera in chat mode. I know two grandparents who love it
with their crawling grandbabies. Mom puts the laptop on the floor and
moves the computer away while baby crawls toward it. Apparently it's
adorable!

IOW: it's a free commercial. Seems like all the TV commentators and
other "personalities" twitter. Never mind an employee is doing it for
them, they're tweeting away.

FWIW, a free Flickr account allows you to keep quite a lot of images
online and it's a lot more convenient (to me anyway) than USENET binaries.

I said I don't see them unless it's attached as a comment to a
friend's post. I don't know if I adjusted my settings or if other
people adjusted theirs with that last FB update a few months ago, but
I don't see random primary posts from people who are not on my
"friends list" anymore. I know I've severely limited the email
notifications too. I'm getting only those I want now.

I've also learned that the FB "friend" suggestions are mainly friends
of friends. I wore my x-ing finger out one time getting rid of them,
so now it's just a few clicks and the suggestion section stays blank
for a couple of days.

I can guarantee you that they don't do usenet. If they do food, it's
a food forum. Kids these days use their phones when they're not at
home, so it's easier to go to a web based forum.

Heh.

I follow one poster who has been fairly reliable about getting stuff
out of Iran. He/she doesn't post that often, so I really notice it
when it happens.
It was really hard in the thick of the protests there, to determine
who was for real. I finally saw some posts somewhere, that said such
and such posters are to be trusted...so I started following them. I
am a news junkie anyway, so this really interested me, to keep up with
the news before it got to any of the papers/blogs, etc. In fact, the
source I follow now, is evidently a source for some of the blogs and
papers.

So far, Twitter has managed to stay "alive" in Iran...with people
keeping illicit links alive and providing covert access to Twitter. It
is still touch and go though...

So I see Twitter as providing a valuable service, in this regard.

OB Food: Heading out to market later on today, just to get some
basics. However, I just noticed that the Mexican megamart has fresh
pork picnic shoulders (at $0.78/pound) and I am thinking about picking
one up. I will put it into the freezer and then take it (still
frozen) to wherever my next contract is. It would be one of the first
things I cook, wherever. If I am near my smoker, it will be smoked.

Who's bragging? Have you ever had to carry three phones around all the
time? It's a real pain. Lucky all these new phones are tiny little
things that can easily fit into pockets, not like the bricks of old. I
use 3 different ring tones so I know which phone to grab.

I used to be a gadget geek but, frankly, I'm getting to the stage of
life where I could live without a cell phone. I didn't even take one to
Tasmania at the Easter break. Bliss

It's pretty easy to tell, mine lights up.

We have no roaming charges on our phones and it does come in handy
when in a strange place. We don't have to wonder if the hotel/motel
is going to slam us with charges and we can call from the car to make
or confirm a reservation.

Of course 'kids' don't do Usenet - most of them don't even know what it
is. I was talking about folks who do. Even if said 'kids' happen
stumble upon things like Google Groups and/or sites like foodbanter -
they still think they're posting to some kind of Internet forum.

However, I sincerely doubt that many kids use up their cell phone 'air
time' to surf food blogs and other food forums... They save that up for
making 'intelligent' chit chat on sites like FB/Myspace etc. And it
often goes something like this:

Actually, yes.

That's a 'normal' day for me..... plus a pager.

A 'not normal' day, I end up carrying 4..... plus a pager.

LOL!!

I have 4 pockets in my shorts/trousers.

I just have to take a second to see which side the vibrations and noise is
coming from.

One has a submarine claxon, one has a rooster crowing, one has a Police
siren and car horn, and the other has an old fashioned telephone ring.....
just really loud!!

And the pager...... well that just goes *off*!!

Nope, but I've been posting food pictures since at least August 2005
(that's the earliest post of food I can find on jamlady.eboard.com).
