SADMAC

It happened a week ago. There I was casually browsing the interweb (Facebook stalking) when what should happen but a little Digi Dinosaur and a message pops into the centre of the screen: Unable to Connect to the Internet. What do you mean? I can’t look at the next picture along of him and his new girlfriend? But it could’ve been... Read the rest of this post...

African American Woman Girl Mother Daughter

(Image via) I’m a planner by nature. Many of my careers of interest have had some sort of planning emphasis—like an urban or media planner. I also jump at the opportunity to plan my annual family vacation and get a rush out of attempting to plan my finances. So like many anal-retentive planners, I created the first draft of my...

c878b5ff9ecf858b8c3e388d5aea46e8

The Facebook ‘Like’ absolutely confounds me. Isn’t it one of the most baffling enigmas of this digital generation? I mean sometimes it’s really obvious what is ‘Likable’ – photos of cats doing crazy shizz with a comical caption generally cracks me up! Like. Other stuff – I just don’t get.
