Hookah Slideshow

Hookah Slide show
This slide show created to be displayed shows a little bit of my own kind of man-cave for hookah. The hookah, Mr. Obsidian, has been through nearly 4 years of smoking here in Las Vegas and in San Francisco. It was for half the time with a friend whom I had split the cost while at the same time using discounts to further lower price. Many good times I have had and shared with others in hookah, more so I will like how the slide show does.The materials shown were my Namore hookah hose, free-sample easy to lite coals, Arabic shisha with coffee flavor and the other bits of hoookah. The location being that of residence, will not be shown and instead substituted with the address to my favorite hookah shop for the geotag. The photos were done from my personal laptop and built-in web cam.Everything else concerning the work done on Blogger and Flickr were nothing that presented much of any trouble or difficulty. The slide show composition was also fairly simple and not hard at all to complete in linking both blog post and photo slide show. If anything I would have liked to have done differently would be to have had company to have made the slide show, both to share in variety of expressions and unique distinctions of the others whom enjoy hookah. Another reason would be to have a better camera to use from their smart phones instead of my laptop, though this worked out in the end just fine.

Hookah Wiki

For the interesting wiki related my hookah blog, my choice being BuyHookah Wiki Project, this does have its benefits and drawbacks. It's really great it being at first glance just another shopping website but also having a vast forum and developing wiki as well. The wiki itself is still being made in sections with even the homepage of the wiki still being worked on, making it a little confusing at first navigation. The information itself though inside of the wiki is interesting, mostly in part of the Random Page tab under the Wiki Project tab.The Random Page feature I thought was rather fun in by giving pages with quite the resources some including website and video links. My favorite of the random pages is the Fantasia shisha, at the following link. http://www.buyhookah.com/wiki/Fantasia_Tobacco If anything I didn't like was the bit of difficulty in navigating the wiki though the cause is it being still developed in sections and incomplete as a whole. The other ways of viewing the wiki being left to either the Random Page button or by searching for a topic on the search bar.This seemingly to be later on a new hopeful wiki on hookahs, though at the moment is a work in progress.
