Thanks to Sam Aminisam I came across this amazing video of Noah Kalina who started a project 12 years ago to take a photo of himself every day. I’ve seen quite a few of these projects that last one year or even a few years but haven’t come across one that is done so well …

If you had been watching me as I watched Mark Zuckerberg present the new Facebook Timeline you would have seen a smirk on my face. It was also interesting to see how many other people picked up on how Timeline was Facebook’s migration from Newsfeed to Lifestream. I’ve been writing about Lifestreaming here since 2007. …
