I will let this status update speak for itself… However, the main (and very selfish) reason for my re-activating my account is to easily share pictures and updates with family and close friends once the baby arrives. I probably won’t update nearly as much, and will go through my friends list to set different privacy settings. […]
I have to admit that one of the main reasons I was intrigued by the upcoming movie The Social Network is due to the fact that the campus scenes were filmed at my old alma mater. Although two trailers had been released previously, they barely showed any scenes from the actual movie. So imagine my […]
Even when my Facebook account was still active, I never got into the likes of Mafia Wars, Farmville, and Restaurant City. However, J was — and still is — into his Facebook games and often spends his free time trading weapons, planting veggies, re-decorating his restaurant, and whatnot. While I have never played these games, […]
One of the things I miss most about working in an office environment is the plethora of office/desktop toys I used to have lying around my desk (ie, my collection of Star Wars Mr. Potatoheads). So I live vicariously through J. I have gifted him many office toys over the years, including a Red Swingline Stapler (à la Office […]
If there is one thing that all bloggers have in common, it is that they want to be read. And let’s face it; receiving comments can be pretty addictive too. It then comes as no surprise that you will find a blogger publicizing his/her site by linking to new posts via Facebook and Twitter. Heck, […]
Many years ago, I read that being an introvert does not necessarily mean that you are shy. While it it true that many introverts are shy by nature, the main difference between introverts and extroverts is the source of their energy: extroverts get energy from people and objects outside themselves whereas introverts gain energy from […]
In addition to Memorial Day, today also marks Quit Facebook Day. Coincidentally, today’s GraphJam features a poke on Facebook. According to the website, Over 32,000 people have committed to quitting Facebook today. Sure, that’s barely a scratch in Facebook’s 400+ million users, but it’s still a decent size to openly pack up and leave […]
I know there are tons of mock Facebook pages up for Star Wars characters, but this has to be the best Darth Vader one I’ve seen yet. Spanning across all six movies, even the level of detail in re-creating Facebook’s interface is amazing. Head on over to the original at Everybody Sucks But Us for the […]
It has recently come to my attention that many people think using an ultrasound picture as your Facebook profile picture is creepy. “I cringe whenever I see one. I don’t want to see a picture of your uterus or your fetus. TMI!” A random Facebook profile using an ultrasound picture as the profile picture. All […]
A few weeks ago, I deactivated my Facebook account. The funny thing is that although I had 350+ “Friends,” I’m pretty sure that not one person noticed my absence. Not even my husband. (Thanks, hun!) While the whole prospect made me a bit sad — because this essentially meant that something horrible could’ve happened to […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
