My New Favorite Phone

I now have a tech-crush on the HTC ThunderBolt.  It is Verizon's first 4g phone (it also runs on Verizon's 3g and 2g networks although the internet won't be nearly as fast and there will be somethings you can't do).  Here is a link to a skattertech review of the thunderbolt:  http://skattertech.com/2011/03/in-photos-htc-thunderbolt-for-verizon-wireless/

Facebook Apps/Privacy Concerns

On Monday, April 4, 2011, I am hosting a 'Quit Facebook' day.  I see the positive in facebook by being able to keep in touch with friends, but at the same time, Facebook Apps are a violation of privacy.  If you install an app (or take a quiz), you are basically friending the company or corporation.  You allow who ever made said app to access your entire facebook profile (even if you have items in your privacy settings that are set on 'Only You') and access your friends' profile pages.
My hope is that, if enough people leave facebook, they will have no choice but to change the privacy settings.
Please tell everyone you can.
I will add a link to where you can get more information on facebook and how they handle your privacy when I have a chance.(Note: my school's website block blocks anything that has to do with facebook)

Update on the Crisis in Japan

A week after the 8.9 earthquake in Japan, there are now questions abounding about how safe the nuclear reactors are. We could very easily see a nuclear crisis unfold if the reactors take too much more damage.  Here is a link to the Huffington Post about the dangers Japan could be facing.
