Update – Instagram has released a statement clarifying that they will use your profile image, not the images you create, for advertising purposes and will be rewriting the TOS to make them more clear. Personally, I like the interface/features of Flickr better so I’m staying there for now. There’s a lot of talk

Usually I’d have a post describing where we were in our quest, and what I have learned about my character and how the game is played. I also don’t usually offer to help taste test my friend Claire’s cranberry-orange infused vodka (which is very good for what it’s worth). I’ve also started playing Star Wars the Old

Sorry readers, you’re getting a bit of a rant today. I very much do not like this meme. I’ve seen it (or something like it) pop up in my Pinterest feed a few times now. I find it sexist, old fashioned, and close minded. So I fixed it: OK, while that makes

Preface: There’s a train that runs in our town that only runs for special events. Him: Did you hear a train? Me: It’s the Christmas train. Him: Oh….I thought maybe it was the Hogwarts train. Me: You’re too old to go to Hogwarts. Him: I KNOW!

I think I’m going to make Friday’s list days. I’m usually a little over the week by Friday and this is a simple way for me to share things I like with you. Plus, I just really like making lists. This week’s list is of books I think you should read that
There’s Not Enough You in the World
I shared this video (transcript here) on Facebook and Twitter, but it is still banging around in my head. It’s such an important message that I think so many people, no matter what age, need to hear. It struck a particular nerve with me, because when I was in high school my guidance counselor

Well a week has come and gone, and my app free experiment is complete. The answer is, as I had assumed it would be, “Depends on how good your mobile site is.” Facebook – I’m definitely sticking with the mobile site. It is more full featured (tagging in posts is easier, as
