Over the weekend Linda & I enjoyed a few new wines that I thought should be added to my wine log on WineLog.net. Since I hadn't logged in recently, I popped in first both to see what was new and to check if there were any mobile clients available. Aside from embracing mobile technology (although adding the ability to post might be helpful to those of us who would like to log wines we enjoy out & about) the folks behind WineLog.net have also tied into Twitter: Now members can link to their Twitter accounts, automatically tweeting every time you post a new wine or update your log, further automatically tagging each with the keyword “wine”. Smart!
 
Of course, shortly thereafter I was followed by two more people on those micro-blog feeds. Are these are some of the folks behind WineLog.net itself, or just people tracking that keyword? Dunno, but it all served to highlight how Newtonian and immediate our world has become. We are all redefining what that means by the minute — and the fragmentation that this leads to is a concern that I will examine in a future post…
 
As a parting gift, I will leave you a link to the artwork we picked up yesterday during our trip to Bluffton: #875 of 1000 of the signed kinoptic print "Lights" by artist Julio Amaro. It was quite the unexpected find in a little, out-of-the-way shop we visit infrequently — a piece I'm happy to say now hangs on our office wall!
