My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

Long Wednesday...

I woke up with a tickle in my throat this morning and it has followed me all day.  I hope I can shake it off without any additional sickness. 

I realized how long it has been since I've seen Tori and I miss her.  Maybe we can go there next weekend.
