Zurker - an Introduction to the Future


Zurker - an Introduction to the Future
In the beginning, nobody questioned the social networks. They were a great way of keeping in touch with friends and making new ones.
Eventually, concerns started to mount, and new social network applications started popping up, promising users that they would "own their data."

At Zurker, we've taken things a bit further. You don't just own your data, you own the network. Every Zurker user can very easily become a co-owner (future shareholder) of Zurker.

Hump Stitch

Lots of crocheters have no idea what the hump is. The term camel crochet is copyrighted, but hump and camel are the same thing. At the top of the stitch there are the two loops you can readily see. Just under these is a single strand. To crochet using the hump, you slip the hook under the two loops on top, inserting the hook from behind the loops, then swing the hoop away from you and you have captured the single strand. YO and crochet as you normally would. The two top loops now face the finished side of your crochet and look like knitting.

I have returned

After a few months trying out WordPress, I found that I had more spammers than real visitors, so I am moving back to this blog.
