Sarah Palin in Savannah

I don’t usually get into politics around here. While I like reading about political stuff on my own time I have found over the years that some people take political stuff a little too personally. Besides, people come here for info on social media, not politics.

So I generally keep it off the blog here.

But then yesterday I did something I’ve never done before. I went to hear a live political speech by a national level figure. I started a new Twitter account to talk politics stuff on because I do find it interesting. One of the oldest folders in my bookmarks, from back before the days of feed readers, is one I labeled “Propaganda” and it’s where I keep links to my favorite politics web sites along with links to the news sites I frequent.

Yeah. I am a bit cynical at times.

I took a while to decide if I wanted to join the conversation about politics for a number of different reasons. Mainly I figured that many of the people who follow me at places like Twitter did so because of my social media focus. And they may not be at all interested in my politics.

The solution I came up with on Sunday was to open another Twitter account where I could focus on politics stuff. That way those who are interested can follow me there and the rest can ignore it if they like. So I’m now tweeting on things politics @CREEativeRight (and I’ll let you guess which way I lean.) It also helped me with a little social media experiment I was doing which I’ll share more about later in the week.

Anyway…

So I found out about Sarah Palin coming to town via @CREEativeRight and decided that there was enough hubub around her in the election that I’d go downtown and check it out.

Between live Tweeting her speech, taking photos, chatting with Jeremy Davis who ended up next to me, and getting text messages from friends who couldn’t be there I kept pretty busy.

The whole reason for the event was to promote the reelection of US Senator Saxby Chambliss who is in a runnoff election today with his opponent. I won’t go into the politics of what all she was talking about here.

But I would encourage all of you who are in Georgia to go vote today. Turnout for runnoff votes tends to be much lower than for general elections. Your vote will count that much more because today as a result.

I posted some more of my Sarah Palin photos on Flickr if you are interested.

Bed Head Gallery is Live

A few months back I ran a series of posts I called the 40 Days of Bed Head. The idea was fairly straight forward.

Each morning shortly after I woke up I took used the web cam on my laptop to take a photo of myself. And my bed head.

Yes my hair sticks up in the morning. It’s always sticking up, but hardly ever in the same way twice.

I’ve gotten a lot of feed back on the project, and lots of laughs. Folks have been telling me that I should bring the photos together all in the same place.

So I finally put together a little photo gallery with all the photos in one place. One glorious frightful display of wild hair captured for your amusement.

So go check out all the bed head photos. Click though to the individual posts if you want to see what other folks had to say about the photos. And feel free to add your own comments.

Enjoy!

40 Days of Bed Head – Day 40

This is the final entry in my 40 Days of Bed Head project. We set out to explore the wonderful world of bed head and found it to be, well, um… mostly silly.

Before we get to the final entry, here are a few highlights of some of my own favorite photos from the series.

• Vertical Peaks Bed Head
• Reverend Jim Bed Head
• Varmint Bed Head
• Swamped Bed Head
• Up-do Bed Head
• Wizard Bed Head
• Donald Trump Bed Head
• Surfing Bead Head

Coming up I’ll put all these bed head photos into a gallery so y’all can look through them all in one place. In the meantime here’s the last entry for your viewing pleasure.

Enjoy!

We’re getting close to the end of this silliness but I still got the vertical action here.

The anti-gravity is set on low today. I think that’s a sign I should have stayed in bed longer.

40 Days of Bed Head – Day 37

We’re in the middle of my 40 Days of Bed Head project.

We took a break for a few days while I was on vacation because I had spotty internet connections. But now I’m back home, refreshed and ready to finish out this silliness.

Of course it is always a bit challenging to get back in the saddle after being out for a bit. I’m had a bit of a challenging time getting back up and running.

But we’ll get there.

On Vacation

Internet connections have been a little on the spotty side during our trip this weekend so I’m temporarily suspending the Bed Head project until I return home in the middle of the week.

But never fear, Gorgeous and I are spending our time in places like this:

Glenwood Springs is just the sort of place we needed to find to clear our heads and unwind. The hot spring pools are totally relaxing.

And anyplace that needs a warning sign like this one is my kinda place!

Gotta do some last minute packing this morning before we catch our flight out. Hope I don’t forget anything!
