I'd buy a tripod and head as well as a wide angle lens.

Yes, I found that alot people don't document their treatment using video or photography. I find it helpful for other patients, caregivers, or really anyone interested in health care or my personal experiences with cancer..

I'm a grad student living on campus in Vancouver. This would be perfect for grad students or upper year students desiring to live alone on campus in an affordable manner. We spend most of our time outside of my residence anyways and have limited needs.

Thanks Snip. I'm focused on staying positive. It is a bit difficult sometimes, but I have alot of positive encouragement and support and I am looking forward to the day I walk across the graduation stage as Dr Jeffrey.

It's not the camera, it's the person behind the camera. Be happy with your point and shoot!

My options are limited. It would be great if there were people out there that gave money to those with cancer so that they could just enjoy life instead of having to deal with school or work, but I don't think that is realistic. If someone offered me a place to stay and supported me so that I could enjoy my remaining years, I would probably take it. I would love to travel, photograph people, or just lie on a beach until I need treatment again. Maybe, I'll find someone somewhere that will make it happen. Fingers crossed.

Re: The pajama test: An open letter to my Facebook “friends”

tyfn — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 22:24:36 -0000

After reading your post, I thought about how I add friends on FB.

I've been on FB forever and I'm a university student so I compare the way I share info on FB to that of a teenager's diary. I keep personal information there such as my phone number and home address so my friends can call me/visit me when they like. With very few exceptions I don't add randoms, internet people, or people I meet at public events. There was a period of time I would add randoms I met at internet-related events, I rarely do that anymore since twitter came along. Mostly I add students I meet, since I feel comfortable that I won't be stalked or add a weird person. I also keep my FB friend count about 400 as that is a manageable number and I continue to delete people that don't maintain an active interaction with me (either f2f meetups or writing on my wall, commenting on photos, send FB invites to parties, etc.). I use Facebook to build close relationships, not for networking. In my early days on FB, I used to add people and then put them on limited profile, I don't do that anymore, everyone I add gets full access to my FB content.

That said, I use the "home visit" test to determine whether I will add someone as a friend. When I meet a new person, if I think I will get invited to their house sometime or if I believe they would visit my place, if invited, then we can be FB friends. Otherwise, I will use other networking platforms (e.g. flickr, twitter, email) to interact with them.

I have found this method to be successful in creating an environment I enjoy being a part of. My newsfeed is always full of cool & fun photos or interesting status updates. I find little overlap with twitter or an overabundance of tech links shared by those I'm following. I am experiencing everyday life moments of my close friends, which is a way I can keep up to date until the next time we meetup f2f.

I'm wondering what type of camera you used for your photos and why you're relieved you weren't in the show.

thx.

Thanks Frances. Western society seems to be changing as married couples opt for zero children without feeling pressure to confirm to the belief that marriage must mean children.

@Frances Thanks. I hadn't heard of that study. I will have to get Macleans when it comes out to read the whole article. Very interesting how society (Western at least) is changing.
