The classic metal pin art board! Putting my face on a dirty, disgusting, used up classic metal pin art board was something I had to do every time I strolled into a Spencer’s Gifts in the trash part of the mall. (Note. If you don’t know what a Spencer’s Gifts is, then picture yourself trapped inside the head of a stoned failed frat boy who lives in his parent’s rec room and writes The Hangover fanfiction. It’s kind of like that. It’s douche headquarters and they should have one on every corner.) (via Hot Slut Of The Day! | Dlisted)
Honestly, this is the best description of Spencer’s Gifts I’ve ever read! HA HA HA HA!
“On putting pictures of your baby or toddler online “I think you can be concerned about that because you never know why they’re being used. You’re creating a digital footprint. And some of the leading technology executives that I know never put up any pictures of their own children. Once the photo or video is up, it’s up there permanently. Even if you delete it, someone else may have already downloaded it or shared it online. So it’s a record that’s trackable and public and permanent. And your child will have to live with that and sometimes they don’t want to. If you do opt to share baby pictures online, make sure your privacy settings are very carefully restricted.” —
Keeping Your Kids Safe Online: It’s ‘Common Sense’ : NPR
Sometimes I don’t think new parents think about the digital footprint they are creating for their kid. I’ve seen some embarrassing photos posted and I just think that that kid had no choice in the matter. And one day..it’s going to come back and haunt them.

“It’s hard to not respond with texting because you’re not exactly sure what somebody said. You didn’t see the nuances in their face or hear the nuances in their voice. And that changes the nature of human communication.” —

I was just talking to someone about this but related to email.

“Zuckerberg’s business model requires the trust and loyalty of his users so that he can make money from their participation, yet he must simultaneously stretch that trust by driving the site to maximize profits, including by selling users’ personal information. The I.P.O. last week will exacerbate this tension: Facebook’s huge valuation now puts pressure on the company’s strategists to increase its revenue-per-user. That means more ads, more data mining, and more creative thinking about new ways to commercialize the personal, cultural, political, and even revolutionary activity of users.” — Why I’m Leaving Facebook : The New Yorker
“Within the United States, Facebook is a venue for all sorts of issue and political campaigns. And yet, on the site, as a practical matter, what speech is permitted or banned is determined largely by Facebook’s terms of service. The terms function as a corporate constitution binding users to the provider’s conception of what speech is acceptable.” — Why I’m Leaving Facebook : The New Yorker
