These movies side-by-side in my Netflix recommendations made me laugh pretty hard… yes I am sleep deprived, why do you ask?

Digital New Year’s Resolutions

For part of my (digital) New Year’s Resolutions this year, I decided to delete my accounts on social media services that I don’t use. (Although I would love to cut Facebook, that’s probably not going to happen.) I love trying out new social media goodies, but it’s impossible for me to keep up with all of them. So over the course of the year I am going to try and use the services I belong to, and if I don’t, they’re getting cut.

First on the list and certainly, definitely cut, is dailybooth, which I never use, find sort of narcissistic, and is pretty much just full of teenage cam whores and amateur porn (although really, what else would you expect). The rest of the list is, so far:

1. dailybooth
2. flickr
3. picplz
4. foursquare
5. posterous
6. flavors.me
7. google+
8. readernaut
9. goodreads
10. linkedin

Just got this for Christmas. Best present ever!

I’m sorry, what? Someone clearly thought they could lie their way outta this one…

Kellogg’s vice president of nutrition Lisa Sutherland told NPR that Honey Smacks are not marketed to kids and are “seldom eaten by them.”

Not marketed to kids? That would explain Dig’Em, the cereal’s cartoon frog mascot with the funky sideways baseball cap.

No, wait. The opposite.

Fig. 1: Many, many highlighted documents open at once, as if I can read more than one thing at a time.

Fig. 2: Discarded cans of diet coke and an empty tea mug. Rather than reuse this mug, invevitably I will get a new one each time I decide I want a refill.

Fig. 3: Tea-bag disposed of by placing on a coaster. Stay classy.

Fig. 4: Soothing candle (does not help stay soothed).

At the moment, lawyers at Facebook and Google and Microsoft have more power over the future of privacy and free expression than any king or president or Supreme Court justice. And we can’t rely simply on judges enforcing the existing Constitution to protect the values that the Framers took for granted.
