2007 Twitter Stats

2007 was the first year I used Twitter extensively. I started off heavy, lost interest then picked it back up in the middle of the year thanks to programs like Twitterrific and Twitterberry. Now thanks to Damon Cortesi, who hacked up a quick and dirt script, you can see a visualization of my Twitter activity for 2007 above.

Year End: Project 365 ‘07

Written by: Alec Peden - Posted in: photos


Created with flickrSLiDR.

With the end of 2007 comes the end of my Project 365 photography experiment. One picture a day for one year. While it doesn’t sound hard, it really became a challenge to find something new to photograph each day. As much fun as it was, I’m glad its over. I learned a lot about my Fuji V10 and when I finally switch to a DSLR, I may do another Project 365. Overall it was a great way to learn about my camera capabilities and also keep a daily photolog of my day to day life. I will almost definitely do another one when I purchase a DSLR but this year, I’m going to enjoy the time off.
