Social media, me and my persistent pattern of impulsiveness and short attention span

Synergy, according to the Oxford University Press, is the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects: Ok, “The synergy between my personal websites, social media sites and me”

I need to get a methodized flow going so I don’t bounce around from site to site without a goal.

Blogger, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Facebook, Google Plus, Flicker, Tumbler and both of my websites???.

At this point I’m LinkedIn and pinterested in the goggle goo goo, blogger blaa blaa and also the flicker flucker of it all.

My father and his friends raced on the Great Lakes for many years. This is 12 meter “Mitena” at the start of the 1962 Chicago Mackinac race. The “Mac” (as it is known) was first run in 1898. At 333 miles, It is the oldest annual freshwater distance race in the world. Source- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_to_Mackinac_Boat_Race

This is the Persian Gulf between Qatar and Iran. The rig flares gas while I pump (MEG) down the well. Monoethylene glycol (MEG) was flown, using 747 cargo jets, from Australia to Doha Qatar and trucked to Ras Laffan where we loaded it into our tanks. We did this operation several times and it’s difficult to comprehend how much it cost?? !!! This was an LNG well and they were using the glycol as antifreeze. This was crazy, wild and strange???!!! — At Ras Laffan Industrial City.

The Iranian oil and gas fields were right next to us and sometimes their Navy would cruise by and check us out. We would wave hello.
