A few days ago, an old friend I used to work with contacted me in an email.  He commented on not being able to find me on Facebook or Linked In.  I was kinda happy that I was not able to be found, although he must not have been looking very hard, as I can find myself in about 3 seconds, from anywhere on the internet.  In this short section, I just wanted to comment on the newest of the stupid sites.  "Linked-in"  This site claims to be there for professionals to "network" themselves for the betterment of everyone's professional business path of glory.  Now.... I can not tell you what the paid version is like, but I can tell you that the free version I'm looking at look a lot like myspace meets Match.com.  The ads are just like facebook, gender orientated.  Guys see ads with girls in them, Girls see ads with guys in them.  All the BS "suggestions" are skewed to a 80/20 split.  If you are a guy, "Linkedin" wants to help you make professional connections with 80% woman.  If you are female, it's the opposite.  The bogas recommendations mean nothing and are designed for one thing, to get you to fumble around on the site.  They also want to broadcast every single mouse click to the world.  Yes, if they had their way, they would even broadcast how long, and what your mouse passed over before you clicked to see how in the holy hell any of these people could have any degree of a connection with you.  It's human curiosity to wonder what on earth this site is implying.  It also like facebook has made opting out, impossible.  I mean, I might have the time someday to find the off switch, but in doing so it would still send me emails everyday. And that is why facebook works.....works now anyway.  It will soon die, to be sure.  and I can not wait!!!!

So, enough of that BS.  just another stupid BS site. designed to work using human nature to get in your head.  My advise to anyone is to not let yourself be linked to anything on the net.  I'm hoping that comet comes soon and takes out the grid, wipes out the internet.  yay.  people can make money and go back to work.  Computers are not the future of business, computers are now the means to the end of commerce among humans on Earth.  For every shopping cart you see this year, 100 people lost jobs somewhere last year.

Smart line:

  • If you are asked to remove an AC unit from a window this week, ask how long it has been in the window before you say yes, or you will spent 400% more time than you think you will.
  • If your house gets broken into, do not paste 8x11 white notebook paper on the doors warning the robbers that you are armed.  The only thing that does is invite people to walk up and read your stupid message, or think it's a "house vacant" sign, and rob you again.
  • In light of the non stop reality TV crazy the US has endured for the last 15 years, Breaking Bad is the best show written, watch the final show tonight, it will make you smarter.
