The Hearings

If you pay attention to technology news, political news, or even fake news, you no doubt heard about the data-mining over at Facebook. I was considering explaining how a few thousand people trying to figure out what Norse god or comic book hero they are most related to, morphed into 50 million peoples’ privacy being...

Step Into the Light

I’ve been dwelling on a particular disk in the Twilight Zone DVD set for the past few weeks. It’s not like I watch it every day, but each time I go to eject it, I decide to watch a couple of episodes one more time. It’s from season two, and it features the last five... Continue Reading →

I’m worried about Google

A few days ago, actually, it was over a week ago, but there’s no real time-keeper in the blog universe…is there? Anyway, whenever it was, I was reading a post from my blog-buddy Dan. You know Dan. Dan is the guy in southern California who is sometimes in Poland and sometimes in a pool hall... Continue Reading →

Timing is Everything

We were supposed to be having a beer, but you didn’t show up. “Your buddy was in earlier, but had to leave. He said he might come back, but he paid for two beers for you.” “Well, that’s the important thing. Did he take the rest of the bar with him? I seem to be... Continue Reading →

Off-Target Followers

Blogging and Social Media, if done well, are all about community. Unfortunately, like any real-world community, there are those stores you only shop in when you’re in a hurry, those streets you try to avoid and those people you politely wave to as you scoot by without stopping. I’ve always followed a set of unwritten... Continue Reading →

I Saw this Movie – It Didn’t End Well

I stopped into Sears the other day and, as has been my habit for a couple of years thanks to my daughter’s urging, I checked-in on Foursquare (4sq). Well, I tried to. My check-in was interrupted by a screen asking me to download Swarm. Swarm is 4sq’s attempt to reinvent itself by using me, my... Continue Reading →

The Great Race to Below Average

I woke up last Friday to find an email from Twitter encouraging me to go, as they said: “Beyond words. Twitter is for sharing standout moments. And not just with text. It lets you tell stories — as they happen — with photos. Our new photo features make sharing your pics a snap.” The email... Continue Reading →

Allow Me to Explain…or Not

I few months ago a Facebook friend of mine posted something offensive. Not the bad language thing, but the stupid kind of offensive. Let’s just say that I’m pretty sure anybody who enjoys this blog would not enjoy that post. I’m also sure the post was satirical in nature, but I’m not sure that would... Continue Reading →

Not Enough Buttons

Facebook has gone to a lot of trouble to add “Like” as part of their brand. Apparently, they are still fighting about it in court. I guess they don’t own the word, just the button but even there, I think they messed up. They didn’t need a button; they needed a bunch of buttons. You... Continue Reading →
