A Double Life
I saw that in a tweet today, and they were referring to having 2 Twitter profiles. I tweeted back – anyone that has a persona online lives a double life. They have their online identity and then their real life identity. Both reflect them, but aren’t completely them. Having a…

A Better Life
Do you remember what you think during sleep? Technically, you’re not suppose to. Hopefully you’re in such a deep state of sleep that you aren’t conscious of your thoughts. Last night, I must have been awake just enough to remember an idea, and I remember thinking that I have to…

Automated Relationships
Friendships have become a numbers game. We have automated our friendships so that the app is now managing our relationships. The app will send you a thank you e mail and even tweet our ideas for us. We are gaming the numbers so that we can have more friends and…

First World Problems 2
I saw this hashtag again this morning. I wrote about it once before here. There are people in the world without running water or flushing toilets, but we have first world problems such as: – The barista at Starbucks is taking too long. – I can’t find my charger for…

Creating and Happiness
You are never more happy than when you are creating something. I know it’s a pretty bold statement, and this one of those posts where I just don’t realize the full meaning of what I am writing – so pick at it and critique it please. But there is something…

If I Don’t Like it, I Won’t Talk About It
I heard this line yesterday. I like the idea although there are consequences to it – consequences that sometimes you can’t control. We will give attention to the things that we like. Even if I speak against it, I am giving it attention so I am communicating that I like…

The Best Kind of Social Networking
….is the kind that happens 3 feet from each other. The best kind of social networking is the face to face interactions that we have with people. I guess, even a skype video conversation – which technically is face to face – is still pretty good. Even though you’re not…
