Facebook Understands Me

I just logged into Facebook and got this in the upper right-hand corner…

When social networks really have the right data, they can really start drawing some complex assumptions about political beliefs, taste in music, and even whether or not people become addicted to the digital crack that they allow to spew forth through their network. Pretty soon Facebook will become self aware…

Sorry for the lack of posting here (to the few that still read). I guess I haven’t had too much to say lately, which can be the case when I get a little stuck in my head and not totally sure about what sort of posts I can muster together without coming across seriously negative, judgmental or downright immature in my emotional response to something that would cause me to want to write a blog post about it. I need to get off being so motivationally driven to fix injustice and right the wrongs and continue to focus on the nice side of life. Things are better over there anyway.

Betty White Goes Death-Metal for Saturday Night Live

I just started watching the Saturday Night Live episode from last night with Betty White and Jay-Z, and I noticed that Hulu had a disclaimer saying that the digital short was not cleared for online streaming yet. HuffPo has the story and the video…

Those expecting Betty White to trot out and play the “cute old lady” card were in for a surprise during last night’s digital short.

This is the stuff that LOL’s are made of.

I’m Moving Today

Today is a bit bittersweet for me as I’m moving out of “my” first place since moving out West two years ago. In fact, I just surpassed my two-year anniversary out here, and it’s been an eventful two years in my life and one worth reflecting on.

This place treated me well but I’m much more excited to move into my new place. I’ll be super close to Haight and Fillmore and I’ve got four, cool new roommates to hang with in the near future.

Here are photos I took when I moved in at my current apartment…

Steve Jobs Pwns Adobe Flash

Apple has published a letter from Steve Jobs describing Apple’s reasoning behind ditching Flash and adopting open standards going forward…

Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.

I think this pretty much puts the nail in the coffin on this discussion. Kudos to Apple for the well-worded transparency.
