toodlepip | Sam Michel's blog and other miscellany

Thanks for checking out Toodlepip, Sam Michel's personal blog for non-Chinwag writing about digital marketing, community and other, possibly not fully-formed, thoughts. Proper work-related bloggage lives at Chinwag and Chinwag Jobs. Posts on Drupal have their own special page and feed and for shorter bits and pieces, there's my Posterous blog.

This is pure class. Although could possibly be an impediment to a future role...or perhaps not. Very funny.

A Life in Polaroids

via mentalfloss.com

Whilst battling my inbox, I spotted a tweet about a guy who took a picture every day with his Polaroid camera for 18 years.

What starts as interesting diversion into the corners of someone's day-to-day life, turns into a poignant and quite beautiful story.

The guy in question is Jamie Livingston and the pictures are available through this website.

No spoilers here...read the blog post and check out the original site.

Rooftop Pool

via mymodernmet.com

Taking rooftop pools to the next level...or in this case 55 levels up. Best to be a little careful with those kick turns, or make sure you wear one of those swimming outfits with built-in parachute.

Hat tip @Mazi.

via cracked.com

Not just 100 amusing (and rather filthy) email subject lines, also a lesson in what happens when automated marketing software goes awry. At the hands of porn and drug sellers. Don't say you weren't warned.

Read the full article on Cracked.com.

Hat tip @JakeHird for the tip.
