Got any online ideas on what kind of look you want?

Liz

From Eric L to Me

Groovy. No, no particular ideas. I suppose a mugshot. I imagine there must be something more youthful that would be better though lol. Maybe something like this:

Do you have any suggestions? We’ll both be kinda spiffed up e.g. hair & wearing <companybrandname> jackets.

Kind regards,

Eric L

How To be a Social Media Expert

First things first, Forget that other social media forums exist, ie IRC, Forums etc

You need to pretend that Facebook and twitter are the only ones, and you pretty much invented them and know everything about them (no, doesn’t matter if you don’t, thats fine)

Act like a salesman or spammer, this usually works best if you don’t actually have anything to sell.

Make sure everyone is aware that they should be proud that you deemed to be their friend, do the whole over friendly thing

Make sure you never have a target market, why limit yourself?

Never have a product (other than yourself), because as soon as you have something to sell you become a spammer.

Forget that everyone else thinks you are just another spammer without something to spam!

Ignore the fact that everyone thinks you are the equivalent of door to door salesmen and cold callers

Make sure you don’t notice that your only real friends are in the same fake industry.

Forget that you exist on govt benefits or minimum wage jobs and pretend you actually make a living on social media somehow.

Spend all your time in real life firmly attached to your phone talking to the person next to you online, especially at ‘social media’ gatherings.

Convince everyone you meet that social media is the way of the future and you can make them really famous! Imply they may get sales out of it but avoid promising things you cant deliver (namely, twitter fame to online sales!)!

Try to befriend those who actively post bad things about you, or say nasty things, as if you are trying to make them look bad.

Go to http://whatthefuckismysocialmediastrategy.com/and pick a random phrase to spit out as your strategy!

Social Media is just a way to sit on facebook and twitter all day IMHO

Quantums head Injury update

Well its been 4 days now since he had an accident and landed on his head. Some memories have come back, but most of them hes learnt. ie ‘What is a car’, ‘what is a cat’ etc. Hes extremely smart (was the highest in his class) and logical still, so learns fast which has the side affect of somewhat hiding that hes still not really getting better overly fast.
We went to the hospital as the Occupational therapist was worried when i described over the phone his state.
He’s mentally about 5 years old, but with the smarts of an 11 year old. Hes quiet and polite and very honest. He no longer ‘knows it all’ or shows off, and like a 5yo has no shame at all about anything. Prior to the accident there would be no way in hell he would have let me see him naked, but when having a bath he had no problems with mum helping out.
He doesn’t recall places, people, or things, but can remember doing things more (ie recalls doing dishes with people at camp but doesn’t recall the people).
Beeping noises and tinny sounds drive him mad, he thinks the supermarket is ‘hell’ and sits in the trolly with his hands over his ears until we leave due to the in shop music. He tires easily , a walk around a car park will need a nap afterwards. Walking from one end of the hospital to the other plus stairs meant he was shattered after going into the hospital today.
I can organize an Occupational therapist, however due to a new law i need a Doctors referral and that has to wait until 10 days after the accident. This allows for any natural healing. In the mean time i have no idea what status things are at or how long to expect it to get better.
At the rate hes going there will be no school so I will have to continue working from home. During our visit there was a mention of probably months before hes better.
They did more tests to see what he could recall or not, he recalled sellotape since he had used it the day before, and paper, but had no idea what a ruler was or a pen.
The pen, scissors and sellotape were hidden under a chair for a minute, and then he was asked to see if he could recall what things were hidden.
He recalled the sellotape, the scissors, and an Octopus ….
There are times you are just torn between laughing an crying, this was one of them.

As Paul said, when you see what a minor fall off a low chair can do, you realize how idiotic it is riding a bike without a helmet or similar.

Update: this morning was bad, but this afternoon after his nana naps he seems a lot better, almost his old self. Heres hopeing!
