2751 Moments of Silence
Is it a measure of how far we’ve come that I almost forgot tomorrow’s date? Or, did I just not want to think about it? For the fourth year in a row, on September 11th I will stay off social media - Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, etc. - and observe 2751 Moments of Silence. This re-post from 2008 explains what it means and why I do it.

Response to @JayRayner1 and my Susur show idea for @BravoTV

Since Bravo moderates comments and mine aren’t up yet, I’m just going ahead and posting my comments on my Tumblr, since I...

Goldman Sachs Fraud Twitter Commentary Compilation
By popular request my Goldman Sachs Twitter commentary compiled…
I love Goldman Sachs (but please don’t tell my other friends, they think I hate them)
I am just trying to drive the price of Goldman stock down so I can make a killing on the short

Comments on Facebook Privacy to RWW
January 12, 2010
You are absolutely right. If it was Social Media and Technology Theorist Book, then open would be fine. I believe the majority of people that use Facebook - at this point - are the same as AOL users from 1998. What Facebook has done borders on criminally negligent. If it’s all supposed to be open, then why not have everyone’s social security number out in the open?

West Side Football Story: Jets vs. Colts
Advice to Mark Sanchez and the Jets: Stay Cool!
Boy, boy, crazy boy!
Stay loose, boy!
Breeze it, buzz it, easy does it.
Turn off the juice, boy!
Go man, go,
But not like a yo-yo schoolboy.
Just play it cool, boy,
Real cool!
West Side Football Story: Jets vs. Colts
Mark Sanchez!
I’ve just met a guy named Mark Sanchez,
And suddenly that name
Will never be the same
To me.
Mark Sanchez!
We’ve just found a QB named Mark Sanchez,
And suddenly we’ve found
How wonderful a sound
Can be!
Mark Sanchez!
The most beautiful sound I ever heard.
. .
Mark Sanchez!
West Side Football Story: Jets vs. Colts
Where we re-imagine West Side Story as the conflict between the New York Jets and the Indianapolis Colts
Oh, when the Jets fall in at the football dance,
We’ll be the sweetest dressin Gang in pants!
And when the chicks dig us in our Gang Green ties,
They’re gonna flip, gonna flop, gonna drop like flies!
The Jets are in gear,
Our cylinders are clickin’!
The Colts’ll...

Facebook Suggestions Rant
What would life be like if acted on Facebook’s suggestions? Friends that don’t log-in? I’d write urgent messages on their walls, insist they post profile pictures. I’d suddenly want ski gear, a correspondence degree and platinum Match.com membership. If Facebook wants members to like it and use it more, they should make it less stupidly, intrusively annoying, fix privacy...

1 Go Kevin!
2 Poor Kevin, he drew the short knives
3 Kevin and his mom made me cry, so sweet
4 @toadmeister (Toby Young) I think he’s right to be bummed, he didn’t exactly get stellar performers. At least Ash has a decent personality
5 Why are they letting the mothers join the dinner? That’s weird.

Not Getting Paid to Kill Ads - Updated
As a not important enough Tweeter to have sponsors, I have decided to give ads ‘on the house’ in the hopes of gaining their business about 1 hour ago from SocialScope
Perhaps such sponsors will pay me to tweet on their behalf or pay me to stop. Either way I win about 1 hour ago from SocialScope
If we all have tweets tagged as #sponsored how will you know it isn’t? How can...
My Aunt Liz on Facebook Suggestions
Why is it that FB tells me who to write to, who to pick friends for, who to find pictures for, who to poke? When is somebody going to do something for me? Do I always have to be the one doing the work? Even Facebook is bossing me around. Well, I’ve got news for you, Facebook. You’re not the boss of me. I’ll befriend, picture and poke whoever and whenever I damn well please

Full list of #NameAKodak submissions by Cathleen Rittereiser
I bolded my favorites and added comments
Zok or Zokit (from blog post) Name suggestion: Zokit (rhymes with pocket) or just Zok My rationale is Z because you like it, ok for Kodak. If you go with the Zokit idea it’s meant to rhyme with Pocket. I’m leaning toward Zok because it’s one syllable, it has a hard, sturdy...

Plaxo Plaints
These are my complaints to the Plaxo guy, edited for privacy and public consumption.
1. This link: To accept this connection request, go to: www.xosishga
I think you should organize it the way Twitter does and have one link that says “to find out more about Mr. X click here: Mr.XLInk” and then another that says “to accept this request go here….”
