Badges you’ve earned it

For someone who was in the Cubs (Cooking and Bob-a-job were my most famous badges I had on my sleeve) and we all know Foursquare rewards you with their badges which I love and with pictures now included I’m expecting 4Q to be even bigger this year –  all in all badges seem to be [...]

Floods and social media etiquette

It has been a very emotional time and no doubt what happened in Queensland will go down in Australia’s young history as one of their worst natural disasters we have witnessed thankful the water levels did not reach 1974 standards but the financial investment and the rebuilding of Brisbane and the surrounding towns is going to [...]
