“But, Derek – aren’t you on vacation today and Monday?” you’re asking. Yes, I am. But I already had a treasure trove of material for this week’s Friday Five by Thursday, so I drafted and scheduled this post for Friday. Ah… the awesomeness of scheduled publishing. #1 – Social Media Policy [Youtube via Digital Landfill]…
To go along with Amanda’s recap, here’s a short video montage.
Hate is most often brought on by jealousy, and it’s obviously the driving force behind many of the comments on Buffalo Rising’s article on the newly proposed “Urban Mirage” in Amherst.

Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
