Why Facebook's Data Sharing Matters →
Facebook has cut a deal with political website Politico that allows the independent site machine-access to Facebook users’ messages, both public and private, when a Republican Presidential candidate is mentioned by name. The data is being collected and analyzed for sentiment by Facebook’s data team, then delivered to Politico to serve as the basis of data-driven political analysis and...

chuckborowicz: Way to go, me. A few weeks ago my 2008 MacBook Pro met an early grave. Yes, totally my fault – ugh, the shame. Needing to get on with things, I decided to walk over to the local Apple Store and give the ‘ol credit card a swipe-a-roo. Macs… so expensive. Here’s to first-world problems, friends!…

I have been saying this for a long time. The Digital Divide is wider than ever but not in the way that people think. We, Blacks and Hispanics, have access to the Internet from just about any where possible. What we don’t have are the opportunities to make and produce content for the web, whether it’s a hot mobile app or cutting edge web site. We are high on the list of consumers...

Mother to Daughter
Mom: You'll be 18 next month.
Daughter: I know!
Mom: You know what that means right?
Daughter: Yeah!?!
Mom: It means that all bets are off.
Daughter: What is that supposed to mean?
Mom: It means, you are no longer a child. It means that you can no longer call Child Protective Services.
Daughter: So...?
Mom: Don't mess up. I am no longer legally obligated to feed, clothe, and house you. And, I can beat you like an adult.
Daughter: Oh.

What I Want for My Kids
I believe that all parents want the best for their kids. I am no different. I want my children to grow up to be well-rounded, caring, and productive citizens of the world. I want them to look at themselves as a citizen of the Universe and not just a consumer of good and services without thought. Most importantly, I don’t want my children to grow up to get jobs. I want my children to grow...

squashed: cognitivedissonance: Egypt’s majority Muslim population stuck to its word Thursday night. What had been a promise of solidarity to the weary Coptic community, was honoured, when thousands of Muslims showed up at Coptic Christmas eve mass services in churches around the country and at candle light vigils held outside. From the well-known to the unknown, Muslims had offered their...

Not many, in my experience. And, at least in the chair-pulling instance, the act would probably be considered…

Google Maps & Label Readability
41latitude: Why Do Google Maps’s City Labels Seem Much More “Readable” Than Those of Its Competitors? For months, I’ve been trying to figure out why Google Maps’s city labels seem so much more readable than the labels on other mapping sites. To me, Google’s labels seem to “pop” much more than the other sites’ labels. Major cities also seem to stand out much more. [1] And whenever you’re...

Fenty and Rhee are at it again. This time they have the backing of Ward 2 Council member Jack Evans. It is appalling that they are keep tinkering with schools that work and ignore the schools that don't work. They have already managed to oust the principal at Hardy Middle School and replace him with a part-time principal. It is a shame considering that Hardy currently has some of the highest...

There is no such thing as privacy any more →
America's concept of privacy and the overwhelming need to have it dates back to a time when we were still British subjects and we didn't want the King to tell us what to do. Well, that time is over, the King is dead (including Elvis), and it is time for us to give up our antiquated notions of privacy. More importantly, it is time to give up the notion that we have any. That's not all...

Giuliani's Amnesia →
What was Giuliani thinking? Or not thinking? Did he think that we would just forget about all of the other domestic attacks during the Bush years? Did he think that we would forget about 9/11? Maybe, he just thought that we would forget that Bush was President during that time. Maybe, he just thought that Bush is part of the reason we are in this mess right now.
