Freaky Frugalite

As much as I hate all the “political” posts by folks on Facebook — especially those Obama-Is-My-Savior posts — I do also hate the emphasis on frivolity, too. So when I saw this poster, I chuckled… All is fair in love and war, you know. ;)

Oh, you’ve heard me say it long and loud: everything we do online is monitored, and it’s heinous. Our online information and activities is much more than a data collection for targeted advertising, it’s social engineering and a means to control us. Did you know that Facebook is going to be implementing facial recognition software?! [...]

Don’t you hate it when you are clicking your taskbar to open a program and you ACCIDENTALLY CLICK THE WRONG ICON?! Almost every time this happens, it’s a HUGE program that takes 3 to 4 minutes to load and you’re stuck waiting because the whole computer practically slumps over in agony because it has all [...]

I’m glad the questions are brief this week, because I have a TON of writing jobs and housework to do this week. I promised the kids I would take Friday, Saturday and Sunday off from work. Here’s hoping I can get everything done, whew! OK, it’s time for….. Questions: 1. What will your Christmas dinner [...]

What is it with the Facebook craze? I just don’t understand. Everybody is rushing out to keep Facebook accounts… except me, that is. I think Facebook stinks.
