Did you know that changes at Facebook affected all of social networking? The article in the New York Times details the evolution of Facebook by it’s college grad founder, Mark Zuckerberg. Interestingly, he saw a shortcoming and created a way to overcome that. Thus the concept of news feed and Twitter was invented.Read the details of the New York Times article, “Brave New World of Digital Intimacy” by clicking here. It is interesting to realize that we are living in an Internet age while its very history is being made.

Online Savings for JCPenney
As much as I like to do a good amount of my shopping online, since a drive into town takes me away from the farm for too long for me to feel comfortable with, I do at times drive into town, mainly for groceries and gas needs. We do have a mall in town, pretty small in comparison to the big city ones that are multi leveled with scads of retail chains galore. I really am not a mall going person, I don’t like crowds, too many unruly and unchaperoned kids hanging about, looking for trouble and I try my best to stay away from going there as much as possible.
JCPenney has been an anchor department store there for as long as I can remember, my mother bought most of our school clothes from Penneys, and had a credit card with them that she was very proud of having and using. So I continue to purchase many things from JCPenney and am glad that they have JCPenney coupons available for their online shoppers, such as myself, it is all about saving precious dollars at this point, and shopping online saves time and money all the way around.
Spring Break is Near
Students these days have so many options for celebrating and partying on their up and coming spring break vacations. With spring right around the corner, plans are now being made by most high school and college kids for this annual event. The Internet has made this process so much easier by providing us with sites that allow you to plan the entire trip online. You can now take care of air fair, car rentals, hotel/motel reservations and numerous spectacular party packages to enjoy all over the U.S. and surrounding areas.
Things have certainly changed since my days of spring break festivities, but most things have changed dramatically, due to the availability of the Internet to the general public to use, for just about anything these days.
Went to See Iron Man
I’ve been a big fan of Marvel Comics Super Heroes, and I enjoy going to see the movies based on the characters when they come out. A friend of mine and I went to see the Iron Man movie last night, at the $2 theater in town. The movie was awesome! Iron Man rocketed me away throughout the whole movie.
I don’t know any character that could have played Iron Man any better than Robert Downy Jr. There was talk that Nicholas Cage might play the lead of the Iron Man movie when I first heard about it but Downy really took the character all the way. I can’t wait to see the second one that comes out!
Willie Nelson, He’s the Man
The TV was on the Country Cable channel and I happened to catch the new Willie Nelson music video. It was a hoot! It shows a lot of movie stars hanging out at Willie’s ranch in Texas and they have their annual lawnmower race. Willie has so much property out their, that he constructed a whole western town like a movie set, with a main street, a saloon, and other buildings. He gave the “town” the name of “Luck, TX”The song is “You Don’t Think I’m Funny Any More.” I don’t know what that has to do with lawnmower races, but the video is really funny and I wish I could have been there.
Willie has been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember, I was never a country music fan but for some reason Willie I could listen to for hours on end.
Myspace Issues & Concerns
I have just recently discovered after a phone conversation with my sister that my niece of 12 had a Myspace page that I was unaware of, and she told me that there was a few girls that jumped another girl after meeting them on Myspace. What is this Myspace all about anyway? My niece tells me that Myspace is a fun way to meet new people and keep in touch with close friends, instead of using the phone or just simple e-mails. If it is so cool and so fun then why are there kids telling other kids to meet them somewhere and then beat them up. Bullies are ugly people and it seems like Myspace has a lot of bullies, why isn’t anyone doing anything about it?
NFL Picks Online
One of the better quality sites that I frequent, Comcast.net has the current NFL football schedule, along with numerous other news worthy articles and links that I find useful, interesting and entertaining. Having the Internet makes the watching of television less necessary in an effort to find out what is going on in the world, outside of your little local area and their local news stations. A good portion of TV these days are being dedicated to news in one way or another. We can’t seem to get enough of it and more people want to be informed instantaneously and from a reliable source.
I find most of my information while online, everywhere you turn there are numerous ways to view news stories from around the world at the click of a few buttons. You get what you want, when you want it, easy as that.
Comcast.net offers a good variety of current stories, their sports section gets most of my attention as of late with the Super Bowl right around the corner and the play off games being as exciting and action packed as they have been this year. They have good videos, the scores and and the latest picks, I have the Steelers picked for this year’s winner, but only time will tell, in the mean time I’ll keep up to date online.
24 Hours, 2 Episode Season Premiere
I have heard so much about the TV series that goes by the name of 24. I can see why it is so popular, I had the pleasure of watching this exciting TV series in the past few weeks and look forward to watching it for the remaining of the season.
With such limited good television being offered, I’m glad to find something that I can sink my teeth into and enjoy, it’s good quality entertainment, makes me think and gives me ideas to ponder on.
Autonet in the U.K.
The automobile companies are really turning out some brilliant promotions in an effort to entice buyers in these troubled economic times. Each week I seem to catch wind of some type of amazing deal that these financially strapped ato companies are announcing, such as the one that I was just reading about regarding Toyota, Peugeot and Vauxhall and Honda promos and that now at an online dealer at Broadspeed.com is offering a buy one, get one free deal with their Kia Magentis models. An amazing offer to say the least.
I found this article while at Autonetinsurance.co.uk looking at insurance opportunities available over in the London, England area, just for grins and giggles. I’m sitting here waiting for the guys to show for my sump pump and leaking basement issue and have been mindlessly surfing the net, seeing what I can get into for a short time while waiting.
It is always interesting to see sites from other countries, and I always find myself learning something out of my efforts of peaking into other countries near and far. Sites from the U.K. are my favorite because I can understand the language, for the most part anyway, and maneuver around with ease such as at this site that offers all types of insurance. Home insurance, motorbike insurance, liability insurance, tool insurance, pet insurance and numerous other types that we are finding ourselves in need of these days in the 21st century.
