Mix Tape

I was browsing the latest blogs of note the other day and came across a virtual mixtape. It was something a bit different so I went to the mixwit site.

Its interesting but lets be honest, its a time-killer listening to other 'tapes' already saved at the site. Some users seem to create a tape everyday just to capture the mood.

I've become a little addicted, so thought I'd post my first offering above. Its definitely quicker than creating a physical mix tape!

After writing the above, mixwit closed down which I'm sure disheartened some loyal followers. But the virtual tape will appear again in another form, every day there is something new to discover.

Picture of the Day

A picture speaks a thousand words, so instead of writing we can photo blog about our day. The possibilities are endless, it could be the couch or your breakfast.

No wonder photo bloggers begin looking for the unusual or even set the scene up themselves without admitting it. Everyday life doesn't exactly draw the crowds regularly unless you can find some interesting angles of your pet goldfish or office desk.

I was contemplating a photo library of stenciled graffiti, every store front, back alley or bin seems to hide another activist's masterpiece.
If we can't laugh at the state of world affairs, western super-powers or weird robots through these graffiti campaigns or vandalism, urban life is rather dull and austere.

The Brooklyn community of blogs features neighbourhood life in all its glory. A featured photo might be a woman in a large hat or children playing on the street with a small story behind it. They are all strangers but are bound by living in such close proximity to each other. Any blog Brooklyn-related is listed in links. Its like a Brooklyn tourism guide!

Photo-bloggers daily inspiration is posted for the world to see, all you have to do is look.
