We drove to Ohio for a long weekend trip and to visit family. Rhonda’s niece celebrated her third birthday, and another would be dedicated in church this same weekend. While there the Medina Ice Festival occurred in the town commons. We have visited the same weekend in years past but always passed on visiting the festival. Very glad we did as it was amazing to watch the carving and the resulting sculptures.
Who would have thunk it?
I will admit to participating in this social networking meme last week and then prompting my wife to do the same out of peer pressure…
Is that ’25 Things’ meme driving Facebook growth? : Cent
“Unless you have been inhabiting the underground bunker formerly occupied by Dick Cheney, you’ve probably seen loads of press coverage over a “25 Things About Me” Internet meme that was spreading on Facebook. Basically, members would create a Facebook “note” containing 25 facts about themselves, and then “tag” 25 friends encouraging them to do the same.”

“But here’s something legitimately interesting. Analytics firm Compete.com says that there may actually have been a boost to Facebook traffic as a result of “25 Things,” at least in the U.S.: 60 percent more Facebook profiles were created in January than in December. That’s not surprising, because Facebook still requires a user account to access all its content–curious newcomers who read about “25 Things” would need to register for accounts in order to explore it.”
Today, on a quiet weekend, I finally got around to posting some photos from the presidential inauguration. Â David Matthew and I were lucky enough to secure tickets close to the Capitol and the swearing in. Â The day was filled with lots of people, long lines, waiting and some great memories.
