Orange Day

Just taking a quick break from Vancouver Fashion Week to do my best to finish up product videos for a client due at the end of the month…

I love tweeting.

I’m not obssessive about it. Really, do you expect me to read every single tweet?

Whenever I can, I login and check out the latest.

Twitter doesn’t exactly have a filter or an ability to categorize what’s

“news”, “localnews”, “rant”, “comment”…

Plus I don’t want Tweetdeck to be taking up some of my memory when I have to work on stuff with Photoshop and After Effects… I gotta keep “conservative” with my resources. My Superdrive just died, so I have to wait when things quiet down to take it in to the Apple Store to get it fixed (go AppleCare!).

Hopefully Twitter will give us the ability to categorize our tweets besides using hashtags. Sometimes I need something a little more general, because honestly I scan the whole page first anyways…

How much can you squeeze?

Anyways, the latest Tweet from Miss604 caught my eye about Orange Day.

There are three steps to Orange Day:

1) Get outside! Go “squeeze as much as possible” out of our free parks and attractions of Vancouver between March 27 – April 10, 2009, and try not to spend any money.

(I hope the weather cooperates so I can participate in No.1)

2) Help the Homeless. Donate online to feed as little as one person or as many as you want.

(Wow, one nice night out for me means I could feed ten other people instead.)

3) Share your experiences about Orange Day. Tag your photos taken, tweets, blog entries, etc online so they show up on www.ugm.ca/orangeday

(Tweet! I don’t see guidelines on what I can add on the Orange Day group on Flickr. So far it looks like only “orange” pictures… )

See you outside!
