The thing is, I opted out but my posts are still being picked up. Last night, two days after I opted out, a link to a post about my brother’s experiences on 9/11 popped up on a gardening blog.

We were told we could opt out, so I did. But we weren’t told it could take days for our blogs to be removed from the system, if we had then that post would have been the first one I made private.

If we had been told in advance what was happening, we could’ve had the time to make our really personal posts totally “Private” so they wouldn’t be picked up by Sphere.

This whole thing has been one lesson in how not to communicate effectively or fairly with your users/content generators.

Anyway… if you’re interested, I wrote a follow-up. I think that’ll be it though… I don’t plan on doing any more reporting about this.

Bonjour mon chum Justin. re: the dentist photo… the camera was in my left hand and I was holding it about a foot above my waist. Because my hands shake I had the multiple exposure setting on, which means my camera will take three shots: shot.shot.shot. I took three sets of three, only one set (this one) came out perfect. It’s a 37mm lens, so pretty much everything on the same plane will be in crisp focus.

If you want to see more of my teeth, try here and here. Both photos are post-extractions (two different teeth, two different occasions) so there is blood in both. Enjoy…

Let me know if you ever end up doing a gallery show of your dental photography.
