Still hating on Facebook, but some props to be given

I’m still hating on Facebook, and I probably always will. I just love to hate on them. Anyways, Facebook CEO wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post that is a worthwhile read: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/23/AR2010052303828.html So the props to be given… 1) He acknowledges they missed the mark.

Forgive me, I love LOST

Please forgive me because I keep posting these links to articles about Lost. I’ll be honest. I’m a complete, freakly fanatic about Lost. And there are only a two episodes left for me to watch (only one left to air). And I’m so worried that every possible article may spoil things for me, I don’t [...]

Mullenweg WordCamp 2010 speech

It took me three days to get through the whole video (it’s a little over an hour), but it was definitely worth it. It took three days because I attempt to multi-task while listening; but it was so interesting I kept having to stop the video and wait until I could focus on just the [...]

Results are in, and I’m a fogie

“Only Old Fogies Hate the New Facebook, Research Suggests“, from Wired.com I always thought that graduating from college essentially equals “old.” Apparently, finishing grad school equals “fogie.” Not really. At least the article doesn’t say that. But I am DEFINITELY not 35 (see above article), roughly a decade younger (more or less than a decade [...]
