Interesting Bits

Don’t you hate it when Stupid Companies ask for a faxed* copy of your ID to prove where you live?!

Here’s the deal – I order something online using a Visa card, I want it delivered to our house. The “Stupid Company” asks:

“We have asked that you send us verification of the address details – a copy of an official letter showing the credit card address (eg.  Credit Card Statement showing the cards billing address, a rates notice showing the address or a letter from a government department etc.)”

I mean really – wtf?! This particular company sells software, so presumably they have heard of Photoshop…

IF I AM GOING TO COMMIT FRAUD, I’LL USE PHOTOSHOP!

QED: they are only pissing off their honest customers.

<..end rant>

*Faxes were last used in the late 1900’s and are such low resolution that I could use sticky tape to fraud a mailing address!

A good friend of mine has just launched her website, although she’s been in the business of photographing families in the canberra area for some time, she’s only just got her business online

Be sure to make her business welcome to the internets – go here:  http://www.trishsmithphotography.com/

She says this:

Anytime is a good time for a portrait session, but pick your favourite time of the year for the pictures that will have you thinking about some of the reasons you love to live here.

For your photoshoot, choose a place that is special to you and your family, and I will meet you there with my camera.

So if you are in the ACT and not completely frozen solid give her a shout for some nice pics of you and the kids!
