This was honestly one of the best weekend’s I’ve had in a really long time and to have shared it with some of my best mates was just awesome. So, I took some photographs along the way and here they are:

Suffice to say, today I spent on the couch literally the whole day, drinking water as if it was going to run out!

Hope you all had a great weekend too! :)

Their 2012 calendars, diaries and desktop planners offer some great wildlife and eco designs, a refreshing change from the standard black/navy/bottle green/maroon diary covers, etc.

A few of the internal photos include:

Wildlife and eco desktop monthly planners:

The wildlife and eco products would serve as daily reminders to put our time and money where our mouths are-by taking action to preserve the beautiful country we live in.

Alternatively you can submit your own cover design with branding:

Would you use a traditional diary or do you prefer your computer/smart phone for daily planning?

The application has some good features, such as 6 different coloured lens filters, brightness and contrast filters, border options, simulated film grain, vignetting and a few other more technical ones.

The applications received a lot of praise from users around the world and for only $0.99, it’s hardly a big spend to try something new out.

I know there are a number of Black & White photography apps available on the iTunes store, so if you know of one that’s better, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment.

Facebook has also given users more control over their homepage, allowing them to choose how photos and posts get added, along with who is allowed to see them. Instead of your controls being on a distant settings page,all your controls are inline on all the categories on your profile, allowing you to choose who gets to see what.

Another useful tool that Facebook has added is Profile Tag Review, which is a new tool that can be used to accept or reject any photo or post that you’re tagged in before it’s visible to anyone else on your profile. Previously, photos and updates that were tagged would appear right away on your profile and your friends’ news feed.

There is a similar tool called Content Tag Review, which gives you the option to approve or reject any tag that someone tries to add to any photos or posts.

Keen to see how your profile looks to certain groups or lists of friends? Simple. Click on the ‘View Profile As…’ button on the top right of your profile and see how your selected friend sees your profile.

Now you can also change your mind after you post. For instance, if you’ve posted an update that you’d rather only specific people see, change it with the inline control anytime.

You can also tag anyone on Facebook in your updates and photos, instead of being friends with them. This is a great idea if you’re tagging a photograph of work mates and you’re not friends with all of them. If you’re ever tagged by someone that isn’t your friend, you’ll have the chance to reviewand approve the tag before it appears on your profile.

To much of my amusement, Facebook is phasing out their Places feature, which I’d written about in a previous blog post, and I’d mentioned that it really wasn’t a match for Foursquare. Turns out I was right, Places simply couldn’t compete. However, Facebook still allows you to add locations to your updates. It’s optional, so you can choose whether you’d like to share your location or not.

The privacy settings page has also become more streamlined and simplified, letting you control your default privacy settings.

Back to the point at hand, not only can you create a clever collage of photographs on your profile page, you can do the same with an album and someone’s done this and it’s created huge buzz around the Internet.

Pretty awesome ey?
