This blog post is part of T-SQL Tuesday, a monthly SQL blog party with a rotating host and common topic. This month marks #41, hosted by Bob Pusateri (@SQLBob), and the theme is how I came to love presenting.
Presenting Changed My Life
My story starts in early 2006; I had moved to Orlando to work for a small E-commerce company as a Sr. Production DBA, but I was the DBA's equivalent of the ghost who codes. While I had a nice resume there really wasn't much associated with my name and SQL server that I could show off to people. When I had a problem I searched for the answer on Google. I didn't follow anyone's blog or know any of the big names in the SQL Server world. I had no idea was PASS was all about or that the concept of a user group even existed. As I write this I laugh because I'm reminded that I even searched for logins to SQLServerCentral on BugMeNot because I wanted to remain anonymous.
A coworker of mine at the time told me that a friend of his was looking for people to present to a local group of database people. It sounded like an interesting way to meet other people around town who worked with SQL Server so I accepted and agreed to talk about the new XML features in SQL 2005. A month later I made the one hour trek across town to present to 15 people and as much as I'd like to remember that it was an overwhelming success it was anything but. I rambled. I had 3 slides and spent the rest of the time showing code in SSMS. I went at least 20 minutes over time. I know I lost a few people along the way and probably gave a few wrong answers to questions. By all accounts it was a terrible presentation.
But I survived.
The next day I received an email from the user group leader - one Andy Warren (@sqlandy) - with constructive suggestions on how to improve and an invitation to give the presentation again at this newfangled concept he called SQLSaturday. I accepted, took the suggestions to heart, and felt like a million bucks after I gave a much improved presentation to a full room at SQLSaturday #1. It was a great feeling, so I did it again...and again...and started to find new things to present about. I began attending OPASS and reading blogs (and started this blog, too). I kept at it, and in 2009 I was selected to present a session at the PASS Summit, an honor I had every year until 2012 when I attended the Summit in a different capacity - as a PASS Board member and Director of the SQLSaturday portfolio.
It's been quite a journey, to say the least! Along the way I've learned a metric ton (that's the technical term) about SQL Server and I've met incredible people, many of whom I have become good friends with. What a difference between the 2006 me and who I've become now - in large part because of presenting.
You Never Know Who You Will Influence
It wasn't obvious to me at first but I've come to the realize that one of the most rewarding things about presenting is that you have the opportunity to open doors for people, if ever so slightly. I doubt Kevin Kline had any idea who I was when I sat in a session he gave in Tampa many years ago, or who that guy named Jonathan Kehayias (@SQLPoolBoy) a few seats over from me was. I certainly had no idea who Jonathan was when I gave my XML presentation at SQLSaturday, and it's fun to think now that I was the one who first introduced him to XML-DML in SQL Server.
My point is that you never know if the next great blogger, user group leader, or eventual PASS President is someone you encouraged to give their presentation or someone who attended your session and walked away motivated to do more because of it. It doesn't matter if you're just getting started or you're a veteran speaker - by presenting you're helping yourself and others at the same time. I'll call that a win any day!
Your Turn
If you've ever considered giving a presentation but something's holding you back, consider this a challenge to get over it and submit. There are plenty of PASS chapters who will be happy to put you on their schedule and there's no shortage of SQLSaturdays these days either. Both are great places to start and there are plenty of people in the SQL community who can help you prepare in advance.
I promise, it won't be too painful - but be careful, because you might just walk away wanting to do it again!

Serious injury can happen when your body gets too hot. This is why sun and heat stroke symptoms should never be taken lightly. There are many symptoms that are associated with a heat injury. The symptoms range from mild to life-threatening. As we get ready to go into the spring and summer months it is important to know the warning signs of heat stroke before it is too late.
Heat Cramp Symptoms
Heat cramps are the first stage of heat injury. The cramps are severe and sometimes disabling. They typically happen in the hands, calves and or feet.
Heat Cramps Treatment
While heat cramps will usually go away on their own, they should still be taken seriously.
- Stop outdoor activity
- Rest indoors or a cool place
- Drink a sports drink with electrolytes
- Drink water
Heat Exhaustion Symptoms
Heat exhaustion is the second category of a heat injury. This is more severe than heat cramps and less threatening than heat stroke.
Heat exhaustion symptoms can include:
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Headache
- Excessive Thirst
- Muscle aches
- Cramps
- Confusion
- Sweat
- Cold Clammy Skin
- Fainting
- Dizziness
While some of the symptoms of heat exhaustion look like heat cramp symptoms. There are typically more symptoms and the person suffering the heat injury is sweating profusely.
Heat Exhaustion Treatment
If you encounter someone experiencing heat exhaustion it is important to get them resting cool place. If there is not access to an air conditioned building then shade with a fan will work. You also want to have them drink cool fluids like sports drinks and water.
If there is access to water allow them to take a cool shower, a cool bath, or place cold towels on their body.
Remember since confusion is a heat exhaustion symptom you do not want to leave them alone in the water!
Heat Stroke Symptoms
Heat stroke can occur rapidly and without any symptoms of the previous categories of heat injury. One moment the person may seem fine and the next they have heat stroke. Here are the most common symptoms of heat stroke:
- Nausea and Vomiting
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Rapid Heart Rate
- Shortness of Breath
- Blood in Urine or Stool
- Increased Body Temp
- Delirium
- Loss of Consciousness
- Seizure
Heat Stroke Treatment
If you see someone with heat stroke symptoms you should immediately call 911 and get emergency medicine on the way. This is a life-threatening condition and could result in brain injury or death.
While you are waiting for EMS to arrive on the scene you can assist with some first responder medicine.
- Place them in a cool tub of water or a cool shower. A pool or pond will also work if you are outdoors.
- Spray with a garden hose if you do not have access to any other water.
- Sponge with cool water.
- Place ice packs and cold towels on the neck, armpits and inner thighs.
- Cover in cold damp towels or sheets.
- Allow them to drink cold water if they can.
The key to treating someone who has heat stroke symptoms is to get their body temperature to drop. The human body begins to suffer brain damage at temperatures above 106*F.
Heat Injury Prevention
Injuries due to heat are very serious and should be avoided at all costs. Instead of being vigilant for symptoms of heat stroke and heat exhaustion, it is important to take steps in preventing heat injury from occurring in the first place.
- Drink Plenty of Water and Drinks with Electrolytes.
- If you begin to get too hot cool yourself off with water.
- Wear lightweight and light colored clothing.
- Exercise early morning or when the sun has gone down
- Take breaks in the shade.
While it is not always possible to prevent heat stroke. Taking these steps can go a long way in helping reduce your risk.
If you do see someone with symptoms of a heat injury please take steps to reduce their risk of developing heat stroke. The elderly, children, outside workers, and people with disabilities are at an increased risk of heat-related deaths.
Early intervention could save a life!

Just tried to update one of the links in my Irish Birding Links section and deleted the lot by accident.
Ho ho ho.
will update all soon.....
Whilst I'm here, only 5 days left at work and I'm not sure I'll get to see any new species, so I think its safe to say that my Species count for UCD in 2011 is a very round numbered 50.
List of 'Common as muck and easily seen' over an hours walk around UCD campus (via Main Lake, Vets woods and Rosemount woods) - 22 Species
Hooded crow
Pied wagtail
Blue tit
Great tit
Coal tit
Long tailed tit
Wood pigeon
Black headed gull
Mute swan
Tufted duck
Herring gull
Redwings (Jan - March)
Swallows (May - September)
Common, but not as common as muck - 9 Species
House martin (June - August)
Swift (May - August)
Feral pigeon (they live on the roof of the arts block)
Mistle thrush
Cool little sighting around UCD, randomly seen during a walk - 8 Species
Grey heron
Grey wagtail
Lesser black backed gull (summer)
Song thrush
Collared dove
Chiffchaff (May - July)
Rare in UCD - 6 Species
House sparrow - yes that's what I said, House Sparrow (seen once in the whole year)
Siskin - again, seen once in the whole year.
Oystercatcher - seen a few times in flock feeding on footie fields in really bad rainy weather (Nov/ Dec)
Linnets - seen in big flock handful of times in year
Teal (Jan - Feb)
Lesser redpoll - seen once, but probably around a lot more than noticed
Lesser redpoll - seen once, but probably around a lot more than noticed
Rare in UCD - sight for sore eyes - 4 Species
Kingfisher - seen twice in year
Water rail - seen a couple of times (January)
Little egret - seen once flying by my office window
Mediterranean gull - seen twice in July
So there you go.
The Treecreeper eluded me, as did Kestrel, Sparrowhawk, Willow warbler, Brambling and Stock dove which are all around campus but I failed to see.
Oh well.
Here's my favourite photo this year from UCD.
|I know its a mortal sin to have sticks going across yer bird photos - especially the face! but something about the state of this little Great tit chick thats ticks boxes for me.

I'm experimenting with USB GPS receiver (dongle). It's a Canmore GT-730F that I received in January 2009. Here's what I've learned so far.
Manually getting data using the command line (source):
- Check
dmesg, the kernel log, to find out where the device has been mounted. In my case, it mounts reliably to /dev/ttyUSB0. If it doesn't mount, try the command
sudo modprobe pl2303to load the correct USB driver.
- Set the data output rate to 4800 baud using the
stty 4800 > /dev/ttyUSB0
- Read the data stream using the
cat /dev/ttyUSB0
- You should see a set of data scroll down the screen. Use CTRL+C to end the test.
The Linux GPS Daemon (gpsd) is the central clearinghouse for receiving GPS data from the receiver, buffering it, and forwarding it to the applications that want it. gpsd has features to broadcast to dbus (system bus), update ntpd, and respond to a multitude of specific queries from clients. References: Project home page, gpsd man page, and a great example program
$sudo apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients # Installs the daemon (gpsd) and test set (gpsd-clients) packages $gpsd -b /dev/ttyUSB0 # Start gpsd, telling it where to find the receiver $cgps # Current satellite data - great way to test that the receiver and gpsd are working
gpsfake is a gpsd simulator. It tricks gpsd into reading from a logfile instead of a real GPS device. Very handy for testing without actually using a GPS dongle. It is included with the gpsd package, and has a man page for additional reference. To make a logfile, and then to use gpsfake:
$cat /dev/ttyUSB0 > path/to/testlog # Create the log file. Use CTRL+C to end the capture. $gpsfake path/to/testlog # Run gpsd simulator (not a daemon - it will occupy the terminal)
Python interface to gpsd (python-gps) is a programming tool to build your own gps-aware application.
>>>import gps # Load the module >>>session = gps.gps('localhost','2947') # Open a connection to gpsd >>>session.query('o') # See man gpsd(8) for the list of commands >>>print session.fix.latitude # Query responses are attributes of the session >>>dir(session) # To see the possible responses >>>del session # Close the connection to gpsd
In this case, it seems that I need a periodic
session.query('p'), which just gives lat/lon and timestamp.
Time might be an issue, since the system and the GPS may think the time is different. To see if it's an issue, compare them using the python script below. In my tests, they vary from 0.08 to 1.3 seconds apart, not enough to worry about. GPS timestamps use GMT, not localtime.
#!/usr/bin/env python import calendar, time, gps system_time = calendar.timegm(time.gmtime()) # System time (in seconds) session = gps.gps('localhost','2947') # Open a connection to gpsd session.query('p') # See man gpsd(8) for the list of commands gps_time = session.timings.c_recv_time # GPS time (in seconds) print ('The time difference is ' + str(system_time - gps_time) + ' seconds.')
MGRS (military map coordinates) conversion to/from latitude and longitude is not currently available in Ubuntu...that I can find. The dongle documentation doesn't mention MGRS at all. An online converter is available. The proj package looks promising, but I haven't figured it out yet. Perhaps Lat/Lon -> UTM -> MGRS?
DBus access appears to be undocumented...but there are tantalizing hints on Google that examples are out there. I can listen to dBus using
cgps to make traffic, then
dbus-monitor --system to see it.
The best storage format for tracklogs, routes, and waypoints seems to be GPX format, since it's easy to understand and
cgpxlogger, included with gpsd, will create an XML track in GPX 1.1 format. Google's KML is more powerful, but also much more complex. GPSbabel universal data translator is a command-line application that translates one file type to another, and does convert GPX <-> KML.
$cgpxlogger -i 30 > path/to/logfile # Save data every 30 seconds to an XML file $gpsbabel -i gpx -f path/to/gpx_file -x duplicate -o kml -F path/to/kml_file $#gpsbabel [options] -i INTYPE -f INFILE -x FILTER -o OUTTYPE -F OUTFILE
GPSdrive navigation system looks cool, but I couldn't get maps to load, so it's utility was limited. However, it seems that online plotting of tracklogs, routes, and waypoints is possible on Google Maps (and Yahoo Maps, and others). One example is the cool GPS Visualizer.
Gypsy is an alternative daemon, but not currently in Debian or Ubuntu, so I haven't tried it. Last release 0.6 in March 2008.
GPSman device manager is an app I know nothing about. I couldn't get it to work, so I removed it. The dongle seems small enough and simple enough that it may not need to be 'managed' at all.

Sameer Showkin LoneSrinagar
Hurriyat (M) Chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq Thursday said the ceasefire announced by New Delhi during Ramadhan is not a solution to the reason that pushes youth to militancy.
Addressing a seminar, 'Responsibility of Leadership in Safeguarding the Sanctity of Martyrdom' organized by the Hurriyat (M) at its Rajbagh headquarters, Mirwaiz said that the youth of Kashmir have been pushed to the wall.
"You have pushed youth to the wall and they have picked up the gun. Ceasefire is not a solution. Look at the reasons as to why the youth have picked up the gun. The root cause of it is Kashmir issue," MIrwaiz said.
Flanked by JKLF Chief Yasin Malik, senior Hurriyat leaders, Professor Abdul Gani Bhat, Bilal Lone Mirwaiz said that hartals can't achieve our goals.
Kashmir Economic Alliance chairman Yasin Khan and representatives from trade bodies, lawyers and other sections of civil society were also present.
"Hartal is our compulsion. The Joint Resistance Leadership (JRL) is working to find an alternative strategy to register protest and all sections of the society to remain united to resist "all-out operations of New Delhi," Mirwaiz said.
Earlier, Malik in his address said that New Delhi has decided to force the people of Kashmir to surrender in Lal Chowk.
"But we will resist…we will continue our resistance," he said.

This seems a natural extension of the discussion that Adam and I were having about the two-way exchange of energy between giver and receiver (It's All Energy).
Perhaps I'm making this up, but I believe there is an interesting stereotype about Christmas. The stereotype is that poor families have happy Christmasses, while rich ones do not. This stereotype is of course--like any stereotype--not true in every instance. I think it works well for me here though, so I don't mind :-)
The vision is of a little boy, living in a cabin with his family, delighted by the rough sled that his father made for him. What a sweet child! And then the opposite side of the spectrum is the little boy living in a mansion with his family, dissatisfied and angered by the gigantic train set his parents bought him. What a spoiled brat!
What is the difference between the two scenes? It is the expectations of the two children. One knows that his parents are not wealthy, and he does not expect anything spectacular in the way of gifts. Perhaps he even expects nothing, maybe there have been Christmasses in the past where they had nothing to give. And so, because his expectations are exceeded, he is elated at the gift.
The other boy, the rich boy, has high expectations. He expects his parents to give him a gift, and not just any gift, but a gift that will blow him away. He expects, every Christmas, to get the best gift ever. And what could possibly live up to that expectation? So he is disappointed.
What created the level of expectation for each boy? Their past experiences. The poor boy experienced small gifts or no gifts in the past, setting him up to expect little or nothing. The rich boy experienced large, extravagant gifts even from a very young age, which created the expectation that each gift should be better than the last, and should make him happy beyond belief.
Perhaps next Christmas the poor boy will be expecting something like the sled, and will be disappointed.
So how could both children experience the same level of enjoyment? If they weren't attached to their pasts, then they would have no expectations on the present, which would allow them to fully enjoy whatever happened.
Expectations limit the amount of energy you can give, and the amount of energy you will receive. If you give with the expectation of the other showing gratitude, then you will hold back and only give a limited amount of energy, much less than if you'd given without expecting anything in return.
When receiving, expectations have the effect of entirely missing the energy you're being given. You miss it because you're already looking for something bigger, better, more, or different. It is sort of like using your periphrial vision, only when you're not looking for anything can you see everything.
When you are looking for something specific, it has the effect of "zooming in" on that thing, which makes that one thing big and all important, but completely cuts off the rest of the picture.
Having no expectations is like taking a wide-angle photo, where the subject is in the center, but everything is in focus. Then, the goal is easily visible, and other possibilities are not left out. Perhaps the true beauty of the picture comes from a different part than the center... perhaps the beauty of it comes from the pattern everything makes when put together. The point is that if you zoom in on one thing, you could miss the beauty entirely.
That is like life under the influence of expectations. If you expect one thing and get another, you can't enjoy what you got because you're too busy dreaming wistfully of what you expected. Or angrily demanding its arrival.
So when you detach from the past, when you no longer expect things to happen the way they did before, you will be much more free to enjoy things the way they are, the way they turn out now.
But, that will have to be another post for another time. Detachment.

SAN ANTONIO, NM - Bobby Olguin, owner of the Buckhorn Tavern in San Antonio, N.M., was not the only person surprised when Food Network star Bobby Flay showed up at his restaurant on May 14 - New Mexico State University chile specialist Stephanie Walker was, too.
Chef Bobby Flay's show "Throwdown with Bobby Flay" pits the star against different regional chefs. In each episode, the cook thinks Food Network is shooting their profile for a show. What they don't know is that Flay is going to drop in for a surprise visit and challenge them to an unexpected cook-off.
Producers of the cable show asked Walker to attend a green chile festival at Bosque del Apache to be interviewed as an expert regarding the vegetable being celebrated. When she arrived she found herself in the role of judge for the burger cook-off between Flay and Olguin for the best green chile cheeseburger.
"Al Lucero, owner of Maria's Restaurant in Santa Fe and a recipient of the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences' Hotel, Tourist and Restaurant Management Award this year, and I were hidden away and told we'd be judges for the contest," she said of the unexpected challenge. "It was a real surprise to be in this role on the national television program."
The Owl Café, located a short distance from the Buckhorn Tavern, was the first to put San Antonio on the culinary map with what was to become a world-famous green chile cheeseburger. The Buckhorn earned its own accolades in recent years, having become rated as the No. 7 burger in America by Gentlemen's Quarterly in 2005 and the No. 3 "Baddest Burger in the Land" on the Marlboro.com Nightlife Flavor Roundup earlier this year.
While Walker can't tell us who won, New Mexicans can watch the contest at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 22, at 10 p.m. on Thursday, July 23, and at 9 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 2, to see which burger Walker and Lucero crowned as the best.

"I had to use my card. It was damn near $300. But that put me back, because that came out of my rent money. [I was able to make rent], but I had to pay a late fee, which was only $25, but that could have been used towards my cable bill, my Internet bill."
—North Carolina State Fair Worker
Even as the economy recovers, unemployment decreases, and median income rises, millions of households in the United States continue to barely scrape by. For years, society has placed the responsibility for financial shortcoming on the individual: a character flaw. But behavioral science shows that it's really a failing of the broader system: a design flaw.
In 2015, we launched the Common Cents Lab, supported by MetLife Foundation, to explore these system failures, and develop innovative and implementable solutions to measurably improve the financial well-being of low- to moderate-income households in the United States. Here's what we've found.
The Deck Is Stacked
The current financial system and tools are not designed for the modern worker in modern society. Most mainstream financial products are built for long-term, salaried employees with regular income, predictable expenses, and plenty of free time. Consider:
- Most loan payments and household bills are due monthly, despite the fact that almost 70 percent of businesses pay their employees weekly or bi-weekly.
- The most successful retirement products are offered through employers, but more than 30 million full-time, year-round workers don't work for an employer that offers one.
- Mortgages and other loans are often approved based on a prior month's income, but the income of most 1099 contractors (like Uber and Lyft drivers, and freelancers) varies significantly month to month. A given paycheck can net up to 10 times more or less than the one before that, making a prior month's income an unreliable predictor of yearly income and ability to repay.
These clear mismatches amplify existing psychological barriers that already prevent people from making optimal decisions. For example, humans have evolved to overvalue the present and procrastinate on decisions that benefit our future selves. This was helpful when our survival depended on focusing on the here and now, but less helpful now that we expect to live beyond our working years.
Nature vs. Nurture
As social animals relying on visual cues, we naturally spend our money on the visible, like cars and clothes, rather than the invisible, like savings balances. Understandably, these psychological impulses are hard to control, especially when the backdrop is a poorly designed financial system. This begs the question: Should we try to change the human or change the environment?
In the last few years, attention has slowly begun to shift away from attempting to fundamentally change human psychology toward changing the environment to account for the psychology. Researchers have successfully applied insights like generating better mental frameworks for budgeting, reducing the friction to sign up for benefits programs, and making the right behavior the easy choice.
This process has already demonstrated three ways in which we can guide behavior:
1. Build better mental models.
When we receive a large sum of money, we sometimes fail to account for opportunity costs. Opportunity costs are what we give up whenever we make a decision. This means we may spend more than we intend to spend, because we don't think of all other things we could do with that money instead.
Our team suspected this was happening for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants, who receive their benefit in one lump sum every month. We analyzed anonymous data for SNAP recipients and found out that on average, they spend 80 percent of their SNAP budget in the first nine days after receiving their benefit.
In partnership with Propel, an app that shows SNAP recipients their remaining balance, we were able to help families stretch their benefits two additional days simply by reframing their benefits as a weekly budget rather than a monthly one. This helped households better understand their available funds and encouraged considerations of trade-offs between food items—a clear way to tweak the environment to account for human psychology.
If this were rolled out to all SNAP recipients in the United States, it would result in an additional 92 million meals each month. But SNAP benefits are not the only subsidy delivered in a lump sum. In 2013-14, community colleges disbursed federal Pell Grants to 8.6 million low-income students. The majority of colleges dispense Pell Grants only once a term. These colleges could help students make better use of their funds by changing disbursement frequency and re-framing Pell Grant refunds into shorter timeframes. MDRC, a nonprofit education and policy research organization, is currently exploring this idea through its Aid Like A Paycheck program, where students receive funds in multiple disbursements to better match expenses.
2. Reduce friction costs.
Friction within a system has costs to financial well-being. Even small barriers to good decision-making can significantly demotivate people from completing an action. For example, many people desire to save a portion of their tax refund but find it difficult to do so once they actually receive the funds. Having the cash in hand creates a barrier to saving, because the temptation to spend is at its peak.
How can we reduce these barriers? We worked with a company that enables automatic savings and asked users what percentage of their tax refund they would like to save. Half of these users were asked at the time they received their refund and the remaining half before they received their refund. The group that pre-committed roughly doubled savings by making a decision ahead of the point of friction. This low-cost text intervention helped thousands of people save a portion of their tax-refund, totaling more than $1 million in savings.
The SNAP program provides another example of ways to reduce small barriers. Twenty five percent of eligible SNAP recipients do not apply. This equates to 13.4 million people who are qualified but not receiving benefits. While it's easy to say these people don't want the benefits, the reason is more likely the high friction costs of the application process, which requires an average of 6.1 hours to complete and 2.2 hours of travel time.
Based on our experience with tax savings, we hypothesize that by streamlining the application process for SNAP, we could significantly increase the number of qualified people receiving benefits.
3. Increase friction costs.
Ironically, some financial decisions benefit from increasing small barriers versus reducing them. Consider that in the United States, 68 million people are either unbanked or underbanked. Most of these households operate in the cash economy, which means that on payday, they are likely to cash their entire paycheck. Having the whole paycheck in one's pocket makes it harder to think of financial trade-offs, such as choosing between brand-name food versus generic food, or a coffee at Starbucks versus coffee at home. It is also harder to say no to the social pressures of family members asking for a loan or kids asking for a treat.
We worked with the Latino Community Credit Union (LCCU) to increase the number of members depositing a portion of their paycheck into an account rather than cashing it entirely. LCCU asked members intending to cash a check to fill out a check cashing slip. On this slip, we suggested they deposit some of it into an account. About 10 percent of the check cashers decided to deposit an average of $167 because of this small change that introduced a point of friction. When fully scaled, this piece of paper could potentially increase deposits into accounts by more than $2 million each year.
The Future
In an age of constant distraction and temptation to spend, in which our technology makes it easier than ever to complete a purchase, and when many of us experience nontraditional or volatile income, it is no surprise that savings and responsible financial -making can suffer. Fortunately, behavioral science has shown that small details within our financial system can have an outsized impact on how we manage our money. By understanding human psychology, we no longer have to overcome it … we can leverage it. This will aid us in designing financial products and services that ultimately benefit us all.

The Google Glass project has unveiled an upcoming new Glass Development Kit, which will allow developers to gain even broader control and innovation in their next designs and features for Google Glass apps.
A "sneak peek" of the new GDK was announced Nov. 19 at a Google Hackathon for developers, according to a Google+ post by Timothy Jordan, a senior developer advocate at Google. "Developers have started building great Glassware with the Mirror API and today will have even broader access to Glass with a Sneak Peek of the Glass Development Kit," he wrote. Jordan's post also includes a YouTube video of his presentation, which laid out many of the new capabilities that the GDK will offer to Glass developers.
The APIs for the upcoming new GDK aren't yet finalized, according to Google, but developers can read about what's coming in the pipeline at the Google Developers Website. The GDK is an add-on to the Android Software Developers Kit that lets developers build Glass apps, called Glassware, that run directly on Glass. Unlike the Mirror API, Glassware built with the GDK runs on Glass itself, allowing access to low-level hardware features, according to Google.
"The full GDK Developer Preview will be available in the coming weeks," wrote Jordan. "We can't wait to start working on this next chapter of Glass Development with you."
Further reading
In a related Google+ post, Google revealed that five additional useful and innovative Glass apps are now available for use by Glass Explorer users. The new apps were built using the new GDK, according to Google.
"To give you a taste of what's possible, we're launching 5 new Glassware [apps] from Strava, Allthecooks Recipes, Word Lens, GLU and GolfSight," the post reports. "These were all built on the new platform and have transformed some of our favorite activities in really exciting ways."
The new Allthecooks app offers Glass users a unique way to cook by following recipes while wearing Glass. "No more flour and chopped garlic on your keyboard!" states the post. "View recipes and cooking directions hands-free. You can also record and post your own with Allthecooks for Glass."
Athletic users of Glass will be interested in the new Strava app, which lets users record their rides and runs, track their progress and get segment notifications and performance results, all while hands-free on Glass.
Word game lovers using Glass will be intrigued by Spellista by GLU, which is described in the post as "a simple and fun word jumble game for Glass." The game also lets users create their own levels via Glass and share the games to play with their friends.
The new Wordlens app allows users to "instantly translate printed words in front of you, just by looking at them with Glass," which could be very useful for travelers.
Golf fans are also included in the latest round of Glass apps. GolfSight by SkyDroid "is the all-in-one Golf companion" that gives users the distances for their latest golf shots, abilities to keep score and information about the golf course as the players play, according to the post.
Glass Explorer users can download and install the new apps from the Glass Website.

Traffic fatalities continue to rise this year, up 11 percent in the first five months compared with the same period in 2007, said Meas Chandy, project manager of the Road Safety Program at Handicap International Belgium.
The bloody road toll gives Cambodia one of the highest traffic fatality rates in the Asean region, he said Wednesday at a workshop on the development of a national plan to enforce the Kingdom's recently implemented traffic laws.
The number of traffic accidents has dropped over the past year, Meas Chandy said, but the aftermath is becoming more violent.
"While 645 people died in the first five months of 2007, 716 people died in the same period in 2008. This makes for an 11 percent increase," Meas Chandy said.
Deaths due to traffic accidents in Cambodia are the second biggest health disaster after HIV/Aids, said Chum Iek, a secretary of state at the Ministry of Public Works and Transport.
"The number of people who die on the road in Cambodia is higher then in any other Asian country," Chum Iek said, adding that the daily death toll has risen from 3.7 fatalities to 4.5 fatalities. By May Titthara

Just like your blog, your social media needs to be branded as well! I will rave every chance I get about the importance of branding! So to begin the next chapter in branding let's start with everyone's fave...Instagram! Actually even if you don't have a blog, Instagram is a great way to work on branding and consistency!
Cohesive feeds attract more Instagram followers...point blank!
Consistently creating a cohesive story on your Instagram is one of the key elements to being successful. Your feed is your first impression. Make it the best and you are sure to get the followers and engagement that you want. No matter where you are in your instagram journey it's never too late to change it!
Just a Quick Note.....Upload Awesome Pics!Who doesn't love beautiful well photographed pictures, right?! You don't need a camera to create stunning photos! All you really need is a steady hand and stop making your pictures so blurry! Take multiple shots and change the angle. Get some apps that work flawlessly and you are good to go. You can also just Click here to learn how to take iphone photos too!
Ok let's move on, I had to get that off my chest lol!
Let's First Look at some Successful Profiles that I love!Getting inspiration for your instagram isnt a bad idea. Here are a few that have inspired me! Find out what draws you to their page and how you can do the same with you own feed.
Check out @ihavethisthingwithpinks instagram feed! You already know what she's all about PINK! One of the main reasons why I follow her is because of her love for the color pink and I'm sure that is what makes people love her too. Beautiful pictures is quite a bonus too! Now trust me you don't need a feed with just a certain color but pick colors that align with your brand, style, and personality! The next Instagrammer does just that!
Check out @awhimsywonderland! Now their Instagram feed is all about color and creating a story around their name whimsy wonderland. They have themes of color sprouted everywhere but their main color scheme seems to be pink and different variations of that color with other pops of color to add. They don't necessarily have every photo with pink in it. By choosing a dominate color you create cohesion that works.
Check out @randomactsofpastel. Their theme is all about cool tones and pastels! So I'm sure she uses an app and different editing techniques that helps with the faded look of their IG. Having a central filter for all of your photos helps streamline your feed. As you can tell the saturation and contrast is turned down on these pics to give it more of a soft sweet look.
Check out @hellomissmay! Her theme is mostly cluttered types of flatlays and negative space with texture and it works perfectly! This is the exception of what I've mentioned before. Her feed doesn't really have a color theme. However, when you dive into her IG Pics you notice a theme of flatlays(and certain types of flatlays), far away shots, and lifestyle shots! Sometimes it's not always like that but the majority of her pics have that theme. She ups the contrast and saturation on her photos to make them more vibrant and clear. Even in her outfit pics she creates negative space by being in the center of the pics or off to the side. That breaks up any cluttered flat lay pictures she may have. She doesn't have a main color palette, yet it all works together flawlessly. This is just another example of how you can break the rules and do whatever the heck you want but still keep it consistent!
I highly suggest you looking through some of the feeds that you love and really look at what they are doing and what makes them so unique! It's fun too!
So let's move on to the fun part...YOUR FEED!
How to Create a Cohesive Feed in 8 Steps!
1. What's Your IG's Mood and Personality!First, before we can do anything else, ask yourself how do you want to make people feel when they see your feed. Do you want to make people happy, calm, gloomy, hungry! If your brand's Instagram had a personality in 2-3 words what would it be.
Think: I want people to feel _________ when they see my feed.
Think: My Instagram feed's personality is ______, ______, and ______.
2. What's your IG's Color Story!Tell a story with color! The first impression is everything and color is what draws the eye. When you have similar colors repeated throughout your feed, it creates a common element that draws people's attention. Find colors that, once again ties into the mood and personality of your brand! Play around with color combos on canva or mood boards in pinterest and then choose about 3-5 colors that align with your ideas. Remember these colors don't have to be in every picture but at least take one color from your palette and incorporate in some way and in some form.
Color palettes are like a guideline so don't ever feel restricted to just those colors.
3. Pick types of Images to Use!What type of images do you love seeing and photographing. Come up with at least 3 different image styles and stick with it. Of course you can change it up but these will give you ideas for photos for your page. For example outfit posts, flatlays, and word desk shots or blog post graphics, quotes, and product shots.
4. Pick your favorite filter and find your favorite Editing RoutineThis is optional but if you want a feed that has the same filter theme then use it! Fun editing apps I like to use is A Color Story, Vsco, and Afterlight. If you aren't a fan of filters, manually make up your own. Make sure that you remember those settings and keep it prevalent throughout. Say for instance you like vibrant colors, then up the saturation and remember the number you put it on. Use the same brightness, temperature, contrast, sharpness, etc. Remember each photo needs special attention that can be adjusted based on different lighting situations.
When it comes to editing make sure it's subtle editing, don't go overboard.
- Play around with the temperature to make it more cool toned or warm tone whatever fits your preference.
- When using contrast, it's all about making your photos pop or keeping them soft and faded.
- When using saturation find out what you like the most. Up the saturation if you want your colors to be vibrant and turn it down if you like more pastel colors.
5. Lighting is Key!The right lighting throughout your feed plays a huge role. Make sure the lighting is the same in every photo so that there won't be any harsh shadows or different temperatures in the picture. However, you can go in with editing apps to fix the shadows!
6. Backgrounds for Flatlay Photography!Backgrounds are great ways to work around your theme. Find 1-3 backgrounds that match your overall theme and use them. Of course this isn't always something that will be a big deal. Simple backdrops are easier for up and coming Instagramers so go for white backdrops, color backdrops,and textured backgrounds. Check out this post for creating awesome flatlay photography!
Yep even fonts should be consistent! Just like in a blog use 1-3 fonts that work well with your overall theme. If you have a website bring those fonts over to your instagram to create a cohesive overall brand! I use the same fonts that I use for my Logo and these are found in Canva!
7. Fonts are as equally important!
8. Balance out your Feed!To keep your Instagram visually appealing always think balance! For example, If you like negative space then to keep your photos from getting lost between each other add bold pictures to keep the look balanced and make each post stand out. Bold photos could be graphics, lifestyle shots, selfies, etc.
Now Create a PLANN and stick to it!I have several apps that help me stick with my theme for all 3 of my Instagram accounts! They help me stay consistent and I can even schedule them out!
Plan out your feed even before you get started with IG. I did this with my @cubstylestockshop. I knew when I created this new account the first of February I was going to be using all reds and pinks so I planned it out in PLANN app(ironic I know haha) I wanted flatlays, lifestyle shots, white backgrounds, negative space, and a common color reds, whites, and blacks. Now I'll eventually transition into other colors however the common theme will be white space, contrast, and vibrancy. Like I stated before just because you have a color scheme it does not mean you have to stick with it with every single photo.

Take Two
Beware of Prometheus spoilers ahead.
Well, as promised I saw Prometheus again last night -- this time in IMAX.
Again, the visuals are so spectacular and immersive as to be worth the price of admission solely on their own. As for the story and the issues I had with it after seeing the movie the first time, many still remain, although I admittedly have a better feeling about the film overall having watched it carefully for a second time.
For one, I like David's character much better now and kind of let myself simply go with the flow when it comes to his motivations throughout the course of the movie. I think the giveaway when it comes to how David thinks and behaves comes when Charlie tells him, just before being dosed with alien goo, "You're not a real boy." David is at all times behaving like a curious child, one who does things simply to see what the outcome is; I'm not sure his agenda is much more complicated than that.
I actually found the storyline to be even more frustrating when trying to apply the lengthy analysis offered up by that one blogger who's now found himself to be the Rosetta Stone among confused Prometheus viewers. The bottom line is that in spite of all the mythological and religious inferences he gleaned from the film, the whole thing still didn't really make a lick of sense. And that's where I think the main problem lies -- in trusting in the meaning behind the movie. I'll put it like this: I like films that ask big questions and that don't provide complete answers. I like being made to think and feel and to even ponder endlessly and futilely. But I have to believe that I'm not simply being played -- that the writers and filmmakers had some idea what they were doing and weren't just throwing a lot of tenuously connected shit at the wall in the hope that something would stick and it would therefore all come off as intelligent and deep. I can't help but think that Lindelof's track record puts him in the latter category; I think he just grabbed onto a lot of quasi-Christian references (Shaw's cross and faith, the fact that it's Christmas, the Engineers being dead for 2,000 years, David washing Weyland's feet, etc.), metaphysical mythology (the prevalence of self-sacrifice, the dying king refusing to give up power, etc.) and references to the original Alien canon (the xenomorph mural, the early facehugger, the alien at the end -- which was admittedly still a lot of fun to see even if it made no real sense) and sledgehammered the story with them in an effort to seem profound even though he really had no idea what the hell he was doing or where any real connections were.
Finally, yes, the characters were as dumb, listless and unlikable as they were the first time around. Although I did consider that these qualities may have answered the question of why the Engineers want us dead.
Either that or they're just pissed that we've gotten to the point where we make movies like Prometheus and pretend that they're high art.

Good analysis. Your last sentence resonates with me, because I was expecting high art. Alien is one of my favorite movies because it works so damn well on both a visceral and intellectual level.
There is no doubt Prometheus is well-acted,lovingly crafted and enjoyable; but it also has complete lapses of logic and characterizations right out of a stock slasher movie.
The geologist and biologist are fucking Shaggy & Scooby in a haunted house. Getting high and petting a HOODED FUCKING ALIEN COBRA like you are Steve Irwin? Steven Stills' fucking SQUEEZEBOX? I could go on and on and on.
Prometheus actually has some thematic weight and asks cool questions, but as you pointed out, there is no perspective or exploration of those themes -- just a bunch of really sloppy writing and . Just straight up cheesy shit, a lot of which you already talked about. Oh, I read the analysis that you linked to, and if you need an explanation like that to elucidate the thematics/plot, then the filmakers have failed as storytellers.
We have irrevocably entered an age where any plot that cannot fit entirely within a tweet is too complicated for your general audience.
It is just a matter of time before we start making movies displaying body parts for 90 minutes that ultimately win academy awards for it.

First of all, being able to sum up a plot in one sentence has been a almost cliched reopen in Hollywood for years (it's known as "high concept"). And I hope what you're saying isn't meant as an enthusiastic endorsement of Prometheus.

I believe that the overall problem you're expressing can be explained by an interview with Scott, where he talks about trying to achieve something with a Stanley Kubrick feel. And he certainly did that, I think.
- Kevin Davis said...
I think you guys are judging what was intended to be the first of two parts, hence the intentional open-ended plot points...
""From the very beginning, I was working from a premise that lent itself to a sequel. I really don't want to meet God in the first one. I want to leave it open to [Noomi Rapace's character, Dr. Elizabeth Shaw] saying, 'I don't want to go back to where I came from. I want to go where they came from.'"
" It's a bit of each. You do a bit of each and I've opened the doors. I know where it's going. I know that to keep him alive is essential and to keep her alive is essential and to go where they came from, not where I came from, is essential. That's a pretty open door and then rather than going to that, I don't see landing in a place that looks like paradise, that's not how it's going to be. There is a plan, yeah."
I'm highly skeptical of anything involving the train-wreck of forethought that was Lost, but keep in mind he came in later to advise on the script. My guess is Scott has a pretty good grasp as to what was left open intentionally so as to set it up for the next movie.
I enjoyed Prometheus on a similar level that I enjoyed Empire or even the Matrix... that it was a good movie in itself that lent questions that would be answered down the line.
I definitely got the sense that at least in the first half of the movie they were trying to create something like '2001' - however I think one of the key differences between 'Prometheus' and '2001' - is that you definitely got the sense that Arthur C. Clarke and Kubrick had a fully developed, completed vision of who the aliens were, what their agenda was etc. - and that Kubrick only hinted at what they were up to, and there were definitive answers about the aliens etc. The problem with 'Lost' and Lindelof's work is that you don't have that feeling. I always sense that he's just kind of making crap up, throwing it on the wall to see what sticks - instead of revealing part of a fully articulated artistic vision.
I don't think there were any 'ultimate' answers behind the many, many, many unanswered mysteries in "Lost" because none of the writers had thought things all the way through. I thought the same thing watching 'Prometheus'.
However, unlike "Lost", I'm going to see "Prometheus" again, and I'll buy the Blu-Ray with the Director's Cut version with a 1/2 hour of additional footage. While the movie is FAR from perfect, I still find what's there to be intriguing enough to merit multiple viewings. I have to give them credit for that.
I found this website (full of Alien information) to be quite informative regarding what happened in Prometheus.

Like warrenbishop said, 2001 gave the feeling Kubrick and Clarke had a cohesive vision and knew the answers (or at least that each had a vision--Clarke's sequels to 2001 strongly suggest his vision was different from Kubrick's, though no less coherent). I think there's also a misapprehension about 2001 to the effect that it's an incomprehensible film, when in fact it's a remarkably straightforward film in which the unanswered questions are pretty essentially MacGuffins (e.g. it doesn't really matter whether HAL went nuts because of conflicting programming instructions (Clarke's answer to the question), alien intervention (a popular hypothesis in some circles) or a simple mere malfunction (implied by the film itself)--because in spite of being a thread seemingly central to a third of the film and the "plot" that most people remember, HAL and the Discovery are really just a subplot and HAL's homicidal spree is just a clever and well-hidden deus ex machina to reduce the movie's cast to the one, single stand-in for all humanity who is advanced to the next evolutionary stage by the Great Cosmic Whatsits--ending the story begun during the Africa sequence).
Prometheus doesn't give the feeling of being thought-out; it gives the feeling of shit thrown at the wall to see what sticks. And this feeling gets corroborated by the art designer admitting that the "xenomorph" mural was really just an Easter Egg for Alien fans to spot and Lindelof comparing plot points to U2 playing hits in concert (it's an Alien film, so somebody has to get face-raped by an alien, Lindelof is saying, because that's what the fans paid their money for, he thinks).
Finally (sorry for the windy comment): a few people have tried to defend Prometheus as being the opening chapter, saying Scott and Lindelof will answer questions in Prometheuses or maybe Prometheus^3 or, heaven forbid, maybe he'll wrap everything up in Prometheus: Resurrection or Prometheus Versus Predator. Sorry. Look, that's just a lousy defense for all sorts of reasons. One being that a film generally ought to stand on its own legs or you can't call it a success. If I have to pay attention to your viral campaign or come back for a sequel to understand what the hell it is you were trying to do, you haven't made a great movie, you've... I don't even know what you've done, actually. What the hell was the point of that, of making a $150 million dollar, two hour adjunct to an advertising campaign and collection of websites? And second, unless you're pulling a Peter Jackson and filming everything at once, it's kinda irresponsible to think you're going to get to make more movies. It's awfully presumptuous to think you can't make a flop and awfully optimistic to think that even if your movie's a smash, your studio will still be able and willing to make more movies when the industry's as mercurial as it is. (And do we need to mention that the key to Peter Jackson pulling a Peter Jackson was convincing the studio Lord Of The Rings was a nine-hour movie that could be sold in three parts? And so he didn't repeat poor Ralph Bakshi's mistake, making about half of a Rings movie and never being able to get the money to make the other half before the rights slipped from his hands and it didn't matter.)
Besides which, it's a defense of Prometheus that pretty much concedes the movie fails on its own terms, isn't it?
Like Chez, I went to see 'Prometheus' again this week. I understood some of the character behavior a bit better on the second viewing, there were some subtle character interactions I missed the first time, but there were still some plot holes, and bizarre behavior that still drove me crazy.
The scene where Shaw stumbles into Weyland's quarters. She's in surgical bandages and covered in blood, and no one says "Hey - why are you covered in blood?" If you stumbled into my livingroom covered in blood - I'd ask a question or two. Then, she doesn't mention to anyone "Oh and by the way, there's an alien squid monster down the hall - just FYI..."
The sad part is that since it didn't feature cars transforming into robots and smashing things - I'm willing to cut it some slack. I'll take a flawed 'Prometheus' over 'Twilight', 'Hunger Games', 'Transformers', etc. etc. any day of the week.
Hopefully we'll get a 'Prometheus 2', and with any luck Damon Lindelof (or Akiva Goldman) won't be allowed anywhere near the script.
- Fred Sowder said...
If there is a sequel, I don't think it's going to be "Prometheus 2" since the ship is nothing but bits and pieces now.
It was a dreadful movie at many levels. Yet one more example of a film which relies on its effects in lieu of story. The first Alien film was low budget, certainly in comparison. Most of its effects were special effects not visual effects. The difference is you have to conceive it and make it happen on the set with the actors; you can't paint it later with a computer.
Some of the imagery was quite beautiful and the film is technically excellent but none of that can make up for a disaster of a story, lame dialogue and the blankness that is Ms. Rapace's face. She's going to fade, I'm certain. She is as expressive as a rock -- which worked perfectly in the Millenium films but not so much here or in any other English-language films she's starred in. The irony is that Ms. Theron would have been much more interesting in the Shaw role.

Rest assured that Pete Ross doesn't need the $200,000 he's prepared to spend on his pending run for shadow senator.
"It's not going to hurt me one iota," says the 65-year-old businessman and longtime Foxhall Village resident. "I have a house in Palm Beach, and I have a house in — have you heard of Manhattan Beach, Calif.?"
I have. I am told his house there is right on the ocean and the grandkids love it. But right now, he insists, he'd rather spend his cash on a quixotic political campaign.
This year, the $202,000 he's injected into his campaign coffers would be enough to make him the best-financed candidate in the race for an at-large D.C. Council seat — a position that comes with actual power and a decent paycheck. But instead he's challenging incumbent Michael D. Brown (D) for the powerless, payless shadow senator job.
Should Ross outpoll Brown in the April 3 Democratic primary, he would likely have six years worth of access to a soapbox to advocate for District statehood — a relatively small soapbox.
Ross made his money in furniture — high-end plastic furniture, to be exact. One of his crystal-clear acrylic dining tables can retail for as much as $20,000. They're quite popular with interior designers in Miami and Los Angeles, I'm told.
Ross, active in neighborhood politics for two decades, says he's ready for a new challenge. "I've been doing my business for 35 years. I'm, shall we say, tired of it," Ross says.
Now, what makes him something other than a low-rent Mike Bloomberg is that he lost his fortune. And in the course of losing that fortune, he failed to remit $203,651.43 worth of payroll taxes on behalf of his employees. And when then IRS started asking questions, he hid income and assets from investigators. He ended up pleading guilty to a felony tax evasion charge in 2007 and did 90 days in a halfway house.
Since his first business failed in 2002, Ross has built it back up — hence the houses and the disposable income. He says he's made full restitution to the government, ahead of schedule. He shows the contrition you'd expect of a candidate seeking office after bilking the government.
All well and good, and D.C. voters sure love a redemption story. But with all that's going on in the city — a council member soon headed to prison; federal agents digging deep into campaign misdeeds — do we really need a convicted felon in citywide office?
That's what Brown's asking. "I'm all about redemption, too, but a guy with this kind of record can't go up to Capitol Hill," Brown says. "You go up there and they say to you: 'How are you going to be a state when you can't run your own affairs?' "
Brown is offended that the six years he has spent ginning up support for statehood are in danger of being overwhelmed by a felon's riches. Ross is offended at the suggestion his criminal record would disqualify him from public service.
Ross says he's reminded why he wants the job every time he tries to go to Manhattan Beach. When you book a ticket online with Alaska Airlines — they have the only direct DCA-LAX flight — Ross picks his home state from a list: "You look at Delaware and you expect to see District of Columbia. But no, it goes Delaware, Florida."
D.C. is listed separately, below the 50 states, between American Samoa and the Federated States of Micronesia. "That gets my gander up every time," he said. "I'd like to educate those idiots."
To that end, Ross has spent about $60,000 of the $202,000 he's loaned his campaign. He has several paid staffers, impressive literature and some very nice signs you have probably seen around town.
Brown, meanwhile, is running his campaign on the same shoestring budget he ran his last senatorial campaign on — albeit with the priceless advantage of having the same first and last names as a sitting council member. "I'm running as hard as I can," Brown says. "I've got people giving me 10 bucks, 20 bucks, 30 bucks, but I'll never get to $200,000."
Both candidates are hucksters at heart, looking for a chance to make the big sale. But for Ross, it's also the big buy. "I can go out and with $200,000, I could have a [Ferrari] Testarossa," he says. "But it's not Pete Ross. It's not what Pete Ross wants to do."

Topic: Sortby (manual) controle
Dear Community,
Currently I'm looking for a sortby option/tweak/hack/etc.. to fully controle and manipulate my post order in which they appear. For instance, my band has several gigs but when posting that gig (with the date on which they are actually gonna play) it now sorts on the present day on which the post was created. So I'm in desperate need to manually tweak my post order (maybe with numbers?) because now it just looks confusing with new and older dates mixed...
Hopefully you'll get my idea on what I'm looking for, and even better is to point me in the right direction in how to achieve this. Any and I mean any help regrading this matter is MUCH appreciated.
Thanks in advance,


text: Offering a nice, well-done sporterized P-17 Enfield in 30-06. Bluing is in good shape. Has a Fajen or Fajen-like stock with dark wood, smooth action, and a Buck Ridge Horizon 3-9X40 scope. Magazine follower was ground at the back to allow the bolt to close on an empty chamber. Yes, the "ears" are ground off and the rear sight is gone, but it is so well done it looks like it was made that way (no iron sights, just scope mounts). Balance is really nice. Two-stage trigger with smooth break. I bought this while I was looking for a sporterized 1903 Springfield (which I did find...it's a keeper), and I realize I'll never use it. It needs a good home where it will be shot and hunted with. I really just want to get out of it what I put in, which is $350 with the scope ($300 without scope). I'm open to trades (handguns only please). I can send pics to a personal email address.

I guess the "traditional method" of using GoodReads is that you add books to your current reading list as you are currently reading them.
As fantastic as this idea is, in theory, for some people I can tell you right now that it doesn't work for me.
I always forget to update my status on the bloody thing, or forget to include the book in my current reads, or whatever other combinations. This really does annoy me since I have the app on my phone. Like, how much more accessible does it need to be for me to remember? No you don't have to answer.
Maybe I should start using sticky notes! Be fancy and use glittery gel pens, or colourful permanent markers.
Anyways, so last night I spent a couple hours browsing through books both on the website and also my shelves to figure out which books I want to read during this month and potentially September. My list includes YA and manga but any suggestions you have will be happily included into the list!
Happy reading everyone 😀
