Take a lesson from Will It Blend

Thanks to @Alexa for tweeting this:

Takeaway summary:

  1. This is s’posed to be funny. It’s more funny uh-oh than funny ha-ha, if you ask me, but it’s still a hoot of the comedy persuasion. If you don’t get why it’s funny, post a comment, and we’ll talk about it.
  2. Don’t come away from this video thinking the blame is on services and vendors. If you use it, it’s on you to use it responsibly.

So remember kids, not everything from a blender is tasty goodness. Pick a clear objective, instead of just implementing “because it’s cool.”

Twittering your life away

My husband just shared this with me, so I, naturally, had to share with you.

Dear Reader Takeaways:

  1. Don’t treat social networking like collecting business cards. Seriously, Social != (does not equal) Business [sometimes, maybe, but certainly not all the time].
  2. Social networking is a [slightly] obnoxious term. Most hoity toity terms for things are, indeed, hoity toity. Not taking them so seriously is healthier.
  3. LJ is full of “self-indulgent maxi-musings.” I agree, and it’s just not my scene, which is a big part of why I’ve all but abandoned it. It’s got it’s own culture, see?
  4. Sometimes it’s better to be out rescuing a baby from a burning submarine than being online all the freakin’ time (I say, typing away at midnight on a Saturday… hey! Whatever, see, cuz I was out last night for shabu shabu then 2 hours of mead sampling, at work all day today, and I’m going to a craft/artist market tomorrow with Yelpers and then craft night with a whole other set of friends, so it’s my social night off this weekend!). Go out, get some sun, and talk to real people.
  5. Random hash brown batches make interesting tweets. Especially to nomPr0n freaks like me.
