Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:38:13 PDT
Oh, reader! There are a million things that I've been dying to tell you. Here are 5. 5. This blog has changed. If you haven't noticed, several entries have been removed. "Why?" you ask? Well, because this January, the aspiring Dr. Lyons began precepting at Princeton. And while I simply adore my students, I thought it would be prudent to excise those entries that delved too deeply into my personal relationships and erotic politics. Quiet as it's kept, that's actually my favorite 1/3 of the blog
Real People Don't Have Time for Social Media
Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:39:51 PDT
Let's be honest here: we're all a bunch of social media addicts. We're junkies. Whether it's a new Twitter app, a new Facebook feature, or a new social anything service, we're all over it. But we may not be the norm. The truth is, being involved in social media takes time, something that most people don't have a lot of. So how can regular folk get involved with social media? And how much time does it really take? The Time It Takes To Be Involved It was this post on a blog called Museum 2.0 th

The Decline and Fall of Tech on Digg
Wed, 16 Apr 2008 15:12:22 PDT
If you're a fan of digg, you've probably been noticing that tech stories are becoming less and less a feature of the social news site. The reason? Digg is attempting to attract a large mainstream user base. Just how low has tech sunk in digg? We have new data that shows that the number of frontpage tech stories is halving every year on digg. We last wrote about this trend in February, along with Center Networks. The most interesting stats though came from Richard Cunningham, who used the digg

Flying in from all around the world, these folks are the cutting-edge when it comes to what’s happening around tablet and touch computing. They’re giving up a week’s worth of their time to come to Redmond and engage the product team members in discussions about customers, trends, and where we can improve Microsoft. They are focused on all segments: c
How to Buy The Archies on CD
Wed, 16 Apr 2008 15:22:10 PDT
by KC Carlson After the mention of Archies music in the post about Archie getting drafted, I thought I’d offer a quick little guide to your best bets, just in case anybody wants to track down more of The Archies music on CD, as it is a musical minefield out there.

Urban civilizations continue to evolve and history is testimony that great civilizations have crumbled either due to onslaught of natural disasters or gradual shift in economic trends.
