Dear Facebook,
You’re quite aware of how much I utilize the people-finding, friend-stalking, time-killing service you provide. However, we really need to figure out this contextual ad thing.
Sincerely,
~ Your Friend and Faithful Addict
We’re all familiar with contextually targeted ads in the social networking world. Gmail’s – for the most part – can be somewhat accurate. MySpace [...]

To keep myself from punching through one of our 24th story windows or randomly throwing office supplies at innocent passersby, I am taking a 10-minute sanity break with my workday therapists, Sugar Free Red Bull and Peant M&Ms.

Have I mentioned I love the convention pageantry? I am SO caught up in BOTH of these, and especially the RNC because it is LITERALLY three miles from my house.
That means that Jon Stewart has been within three miles of my house while he’s taping The Daily Show here! Oh, and [...]

Three times a charm? Hardly. Last night marks the THIRD occasion of my car being broken into. It happened sometime between the hours of 8a-6p while parked at the same (discount, distant, unattended) lot as my carpooling housemate and I have been parking at. My front passenger side window was completely shattered, the front console [...]
