Oh for Awesome!
I have a bit of a reputation for finding and passing on interesting and amusing corners of the internet and in this new incarnation of Singular Scene I’ve created a little corner of sharing and discovery! The categories are fairly clear and I hope that as you surf these little treasures you’ll pass them on and share the love!
Oh, and if you find something you think is worth sharing here let me know I’m always keen to find other cool stuff! (And it’s totally cool if the post/image/video submitted is your own handiwork, just make that clear in the submission!)
I’ve identified 6 categories of ‘stuffs’ and here they are with the first week’s picks!
Surf’s Up – websites of note – and this week it’s the Museum of Online Museums a collection curated by Coudal Partners (worth following). I could get completely lost down a rabbit hole of surfing from museum to museum finding more cool stuff to dish up for ‘Surf’s Up’ next week!
Video of the Week – a title with little imagination but a showcase of videos from the imaginations of others… you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll gasp…. this week – best birthday ever!!
Image of the Week – equally imaginative in title – but a feast for the eyes!! This landscape looks painted… amazing
Posts of Note is all about the writing… Blog posts, articles, whatever catches my ‘virtual ear’! Keep updating, you never know when the ‘post of note’ could be one of yours!! This time it’s from the Boston Globe – the ‘right side of wrong’
Listening/Reading – I’m not much of one for writing literary reviews, or music reviews really – I like it, I may hate it but it’s always hard to qualify – these are what I’m listening to – the audiobook version of Girl who Kicked a Hornets’ Nest – and a Million Miles in a Thousand Years. Neither of which I’m deeply into enough to be able to comment… but I have to ask… if I’m listening to a book, am I still reading it???
(I should point out that the listening/reading links go to Amazon and are affiliate links. If you buy these books/cds I get a bit of a commission – not that I’m expecting ever to get anything out of these, but I thought you should know…)
So, like I said. I’m always interested in ‘what’s out there’ If you find anything you think I’d like, I’d love for you to let me know!!
Commencement
In January of 2006 I asked the question… “I might, but would you?” And sought cyberspace’s advice as to whether I’d be so smart as to embark on a course of study. I did, and it finished at a graduation ceremony in April of 2008 when I walked off the stage with a Bachelors Degree in Theology.
Within weeks of that event I asked the internet (er.. Google) about “Post-Graduate Courses Sydney” or some such thing and came across a course that sounded interesting. 2 years and a month later I walked off the same stage with a Masters’ Degree in Digital Communication and Culture.
It would be fair to say for the next little while I’m not asking the internet ANYTHING in case itturns into more study…
When you Read all the Way to the End of the Internet*
You find yourself playing with all sorts of mind bending, time wasting, applications… this is one of google’s…
You can find the application here http://www.youtube.com/searchstories Please make one for me and post a link in the comments, I’d love to see what other people come up with!!
* I had a couple of slow days of work last week and as I was not at the home office but at an agency waiting for the job to come in I kept busy by surfing the web… this was merely one of the time wasters I found!
