Touch Up: One after the Next

Minimalist bed from the collection "Living Divani". Found here.
. . . 

Evidently, I am not very up-to-date with the Internet. I know about Facebook, Google, Gmail, and all that is basic. Sure, you may call me a minimalist.

But it's more accurate to say that I can be pretty averse to technology, skeptical at least. For example, during the summer after our freshman year, my boyfriend registered a Skype account for me because I refused. In doing so, he taught me a new French word: "rossignol". According to WordReference.com, this has several meanings, which include "nightingale", "picklock", "bit of junk", and "out-dated merchandise". Unfortunately for me I have a very acute boyfriend who has an even more acute sense of humor. As was the case, all of these definitions pertained to me and were spot on. So there you have it:

"I, Rossi Lamont Walter, Jr., am indeed out-dated merchandise."

Now, slowly but surely, I become integrated with modern times and the fuller functionality of the Internet. I redeployed the Bucket, which you are now reading. I finally got a Flickr account. Through this, I became acquainted more deeply with Picnik. I don't know if I should thank someone or just be content that all of these services are free. I guess I could send a positive user report. I am very fond of those.

Change is change is change, I suppose. At least I keep others updated about my out-dated habits. At any rate, here is a photo taken of my school with my Android phone and edited in Picnik.

Things just get curiouser and curiouser.

  1. Rossi -
    I rarely follow blogs, but I find myself profoundly interested in what you have to say (as well as your graphics/photos). I'm quite sure I will continue to update myself on your thoughts. In that light, thank you for introducing your page to me!


    Until again,

  2. I enjoy experiencing your thoughts when you are oh so far away. Glad to hear you found a little hope in technology ;), keep up the good work!

  3. I find it very hard to place you and the word minimalist in the same sentence. There is just too much "joie de vivre" inside you.
