It knows that I have no time to search for people I know and therefore recommends people it THINKS I might know based on network connections formed upon the basis of me agreeing with others that we do, in fact, know one another and under what precise conditions we establish that assertion to be true. (Hooray for run-on sentences!)
I do not recall if other social networks had incorporated this feature in the past or maybe just had done it so badly that it fell to the background of my “pimped-out” MySpace (or Friendster) page.
Whatever the case, the smarty pants award for today goes to Facebook.
This guy named Brent, from the UK, was fined because he blogged about a police officer’s newborn baby and, according to the magistrates, “any reasonable person would find the comments menacing.”
Can that actually happen?! Well, yeah.
Moral of the Story: Be careful what you blog about. Double-check to make sure it isn’t menacing or susceptible (dictionary.com totally spelled that one for me) to being misconstrued. And for goodness sakes, do NOT blog about police officers’ babies- especially the newborns!
I finally got over my unnecessarily neurotic fear of iPhoto and went back (not too far this time!) to the photos from Whistler from about two weeks ago. I created a photo album and went to save them on my desktop for PSD batch process.
Lo and behold- “scratch disk is full,” exclaims my 5yr old, aka antiquated, powerbook g4 (btw the j-key has since been repaired) and so I did a long-overdue backup onto exHD, Matilda. Since the drive needed to be formatted, it took most of the night (of which, I was soundly sleeping.) When I awoke, the backup was complete but I had to leave for work.
Long story short, photo uploading has been postponed until this evening. (I know, sorry guys.) Stay tuned!

Yes, I am going to obliterate any remaining possibility of every getting a date in the future - by future, I mean as long as I am searchable on the web - by continuing to blog about issues of fertility, monthly cycle monitoring and making babies (’cause you know that is the first thing EVERYONE wants to talk about.)
So here goes: I found this app, called Mon.thly.info, in my RSS last week and was too tired from my broken hand to type it all out. Basically, you add in some dates about your cycle and it generates stats based on that. Email reminders are sent out when estimated start date is indicated (based on the numbers of the average woman’s cycle. Therefore, irregular cycles need not apply here.)
The interface is very web 2.0 and quite fun. I didn’t feel weird having it open in the browser, as I often do with so many other sites on fertility and monthly cycle monitoring. That’s a plus (no pun intended.)
I haven’t put any information in but plan to update the post once I know more about the core functionality. My fave parts so far are that it provides an average cycle duration and YOUR normal day of ovulation (not the textbook date.) It lets you know also what stage of the cycle you are in, which most women I have spoken to do not even know themselves (aka: “follicu-what?!”)
I’m curious, though, how it knows the stage of the cycle you’re in if your stages are based upon ovulation which is indicated by factors other than just the number of the date since the start of the cycle. Have to chat with these guys…

Ovü was recently shown on television in Brazil. Here’s the feedback from my Brazilian reps:
The format of this program “Atualíssima” is a afternoon live daily show hosted by 2 journalists that talk about daily live issues. They did an interesting thing; since Ovu has had a very good media exposure they talked briefly about it and ask for viewers to call or email the tv program in order to find out if they know the project and its purpose. Turns out, a lot of people did!
Now with version 2.5 in the works, I already know which country in which Ovü will make its debut! See more pics on Flickr.
Kris- THIS is what we have to do with all the components we have lying around from that day we disassembled the old electronics in the attic
