Just add water

I hate the Instagram phone app (Android).    Maybe I should suck it up and see if there's some help site. Am I one of those guys who rarely is befuddled or confused but is embarrassed to seek out help?  No. I'm MISTER INTUITIVE.  It's not like applications in general are super-complicated.  On a phone, there are only so many things one can do, like add stuff, tag stuff, delete stuff, and see other people's stuff, etc.

I took a pic of Rocky and managed find the instagram "button" that is the camera button.  I like the various masks and effects.  Nothing says 21st century like a current pic that looks like a bad polaroid. How do I add tags to a pic that was already "posted"?  Nope, no edit thingie.  And how do I share an existing pic on my phone?  There's a browse feature where you can search various tags, like #SeattleDogs or #dogs.  I noticed that many people feel compelled to add a hundred tags.  Anything more is like reading the full header in an email message.  (Knock yourself out with the metadata, NSA.)

Even when I owned a digital camera, I never took many pictures, so having a smaht fone wouldn't change that.  I'm far more fascinated by buildings and scenery than drunk 20-somethings.  The Tumblr app, which I don't use much, made more sense, and you would enter notes and a context. I think Yahoo now owns Tumblr and Facebook owns Instagram.

I did take Pinterest for a spin but quickly gave up when half the pics were commercial.  If I ever post a pic of food, you can believe that I made it or someone in the room made it.

Today was cold, windy, wet and 100% depressing.  I really, really, want to record this cheerless city for all time.  #gray #gloomy  #friggincold
