In other news, I did a new illustration of a cowgirl pinup:

Hot.

It needs more work. I’m going to simplify it. Also I don’t know if I said but I have been doing a few pictures of my boyfriend with Antlers and blood on his head. They’re on my flickr.

*** Update ***

Since I noticed this post is really popular and lots of people are coming here by searching for ‘cowgirl pinups‘, you can now buy a large poster of the above via  my CafePress store, here.  I’ll try and get around to putting it on more products but if there’s a specific one or size you’d like let me know and I’ll sort it as a priority.  Thanks!

What’s going on? Is it something to do with it being Valentine’s day this week that has got everybody riled up? Currently FOUR of my friends have Facebook status’ saying “[name] is sorry”. Well OK, three say that, the other one says “[name] is really really sorry”. I put them all in a Facebook ‘list’ just so I could take a screenshot and show everyone:

OK to be honest there were only three of those statuses when I changed my own Facebook status to “Beth is wondering why THREE of her friends have statuses saying “***** is sorry”. Another one appeared after that, possibly influenced by mine to freak me out.

So you all know about Facebook lists now don’t you? You can make a list out of any selection of your friends and name it whatever you like, and use that to interact with those people as a group, kind of like a mailing list. But so far I’ve just used it to make a list of all my friends who I’ve kissed, for my own amusement, just to see how many it would be. No, I’m not telling you the number. I really hope that my list isn’t accidentally made public by Facebook, and that people in that list don’t know that I’ve added them to it… as far as I know, lists are for my eyes only…!

*EDIT*  OK my friend Claire just explained -

Hey ya! Have you been bombarded with responses to this yet? The “sorry”s would be from your Aussie friends who are supporting the historic event taking place right now – the new Government is formally apologising to the indigenous people for the Stolen Generation – when children were taken from their families and put into white schools and families. Check www.theage.com.au for more details. It’s a great day!

Ah OK I see.  I still think it’s a bit of a weird thing to put on your Facebook though.  Like, fair enough it’s really sick what British/Australians did to Aborigines, but my friends themselves didn’t do anything wrong, so why are they saying sorry?  I get that you should pay respect to groups of people who have been oppressed, and try to better their situation now, but if you’ve never done any oppressing yourself, as an individual, why are you saying sorry?

Twitter is broken and as usual they have a very cute image to let you know.  I’ve decided to blog about all the cute error messages I come across, as I find them.  So far, as I recall, Twitter is winning on it’s ‘I’m broken’ notices.  Although, another site might have the potential to make really nice error messages, but just never break, so you never see them.  Is there a name for these pages?  Like ‘maintenance’ pages or something?

I just discovered Gapingvoid.com which has really excellent blog posts about social media and general workplace stuff, each one illustrated with hilarious cartoons, like the following one:

It’s all creative commons licenced and done by Hugh macleod. And you can have these on your own business cards, and there’s a couple of apps with them on. What a great way to share your stuff!
