I think that they make social media out to be more than it is. Yes, its making us more connected. Information is moving at a rapid rate. I can find out that a distant friend has had a child in seconds rather than the days or weeks for things to work through the various phone trees. But let’s face it, there is a LOT of crap out there as well. Just look at twitter. How often do you see that someone is drinking coffee and reading the paper in the morning. I DON’T CARE if your coffee was cold you jackass!

I’m not sure if you’ve applied the latest updates for wordpress but I did last week. However, it appears that someone got in to one of the blogs that I manage and created an account for themselves. They didn’t do anything with it, but they DID have full admin access. I’m assuming that this was due to a security bug in 2.8.3 as they were in when that was on the server.

Have we forgotten already who Barack Obama is? It seems that we have. Apparently President Obama is giving a speech tomorrow to kids across the country in K-12 schools. He’s talking about responsibility, hard work and commitment. You know, the values that our country holds near and dear to our hearts. Core values that each and every one of us should celebrate in our children.

Yet, apparently there is a bit of controversy. Many parents are going to hold their kids out from school tomorrow so they miss the 20 minute speech. They’re concerned that the President of the United States of America is going to spread a bi-partisan message to their children. Hello! ARE YOU LIVING ON THE SAME FREAKING PLANET!?!? Missing all day in order to not have your child here a 20 minute speech on responsiblity, hard work and commitment. A message about staying in school and doing the best that you can each and every day. THIS, this is the big controversy?

Oh this is too freaking cool. I could easily set myself on fire with this!

Talk about a way to clean off the windshield in the winter 😉

Have a Happy Labor Day! Keep safe!
