Dear Me

Don’t be a creep.

Folks, don’t ask me how I happened to stumbled across this video.. But I decided to take a minute and share it with you because I largely agree with what this young person (well, young from my perspective) is saying. And I think it might be good ‘food for thought’ to interrupt our busy busy busy day.

20 Powerful Secrets in 20 min

I think I like #’s 12, 13, 15 + 16 best.. but #20 fersher.

.. but I will say this to you: remember to not take someone you love’s presence for granted. Let them know you care now. Today. While you can. And you know what? Do it every day, for good measure. (aka “allatime always”)

Tips for staying safer on Facebook

I wouldn’t touch Facebook with a bargeman’s pole, but for those who do.. (and please, direct your Facebooking friends and family to this tutorial also.)

* How to stay safe on Facebook and avoid the top 5 scams

“Facebook has over a billion users, which makes it a popular medium for cyber criminals to spread scams. Facebook users continue to fall for the same old ones, while some new tricks are growing as well.

All of them aim to steal sensitive user data or distribute malware. We looked into what the biggest Facebook scams are, how they trick users and included tips on how to avoid falling victim to them.

You may be surprised which popular “application” that one of your friends may have sent you is actually the biggest scam going around...” See the full list

Today’s quote: “People will always notice something about you. It might be the way you walk or the way you talk, or just simply your personality. Live each day in the way you want to be remembered. Live in such a way that people will be inspired by those unique qualities that you have and strive to live better lives for themselves.” ~ Amaka Imani Nkosazana

The Best Use for Nanobots

A New Technology I’d Sure Like To See

I want to know why no one is making “nanobots” to control (human) hair growth. As a person who detests shaving, I would definitely use the type of (suggested) “nanobots” that would be applied to area where you no longer wanted hair to grow (ever) .. like, say, my chin.

And I know quite a few gentlemen who could make great use of the type of (suggested) “nanobots” that would be applied to area where you wanted hair to grow (always). Iffin it were my nanobot factory, I would make ’em with a On/Off switch, so you could change your mind.

As with any revolutionary technology, new Laws would have to be passed. Like, say, making it a Felony to apply these (suggested) nanobots to animals… Now all we have to do is convince Gillette it’s in their interest to stop sitting on the patent… Like that one company is doing with the 600 Mpg carburetor, and another is doing with the 7 year battery…

Mid-April

Tuesday is my usual day for posting what I call “Tuesday Tidbits”; tech headlines (or other tech articles) I find interesting.

But this week there are none. At least, not that I noticed.
I found one.

There’s not even any I think you might find interesting (or that I think you ‘ought to know’).
