For the last few days I've been sharing more selectively and yet i've written more than I have in a long time. As I have been recovering from my recent operation, most of what I have written has been offline. The recent update to the app 'Day One' has had me now adding photos to my daily diary. There is something liberating about writing a blog for an audience of one. It's not a cheap app, but … [Read more...] about Social Networks Aren’t Free
