I gave my mom my iPad and she is thrilled. And while I am ready for Facetime barrage, I am not going to friend her on Facebook. More here.
PS: I used Camera+ to take the photo and ran it through the Mobile Monet app on my iPhone 4S. I did the coloring and shading to enhance the effect.
Heart warming. Right to not “friend” her . . . she’s your mother! My mother is a great friend, but not on fb.
One of your best pictures yet. I’d vote for it on the Ray Band photography comp. if you enter it this year.
It isn’t really a picture for it is one of those app mash-ups. 🙂
lovely post Om – you sparked me into a little writing about what I suspect may be possible soon with these devices..

I quite enjoyed your post. Thanks for sharing with me.
Stellar.
Reblogged this on Eideard and commented:
Counting Om as an online acquaintance is one of the brightest features of my 29 years online. He’s a friend and peer of my “boss” over at the Big Blog, John C Dvorak – whence our connection stems.
His success as a tech journalist, Web empire builder, venture capitalist partner hasn’t changed a jot of his humanity and character. His personal website is comparatively undiscovered and I’m selfish enough to hope it kind of stays that way. A visit feels like having a quiet moment aside from the tech universe to have a conversation with someone you thoroughly respect.
