Not All Sharing Is Caring

Last week Face­book announced a host of “enhance­ments” to their plat­form. Many of these changes revolve around the con­cept of fric­tion­less (forced) shar­ing. The way this is intended to work is that when you con­nect an app like the music site spo­tify or The Wash­ing­ton Post to your Face­book pro­file, your activ­ity will auto­mat­i­cally be […]

Too Much?

Look to the Sky

The Hero of Your Own Story

If I approached you and asked you to tell me your story, it is very log­i­cal to assume that you would be the hero of that story.  You would be the valiant, and some­times flawed, pro­tag­o­nist, bat­tling to over­come a series of antag­o­nists with vary­ing degrees of suc­cess along the way.  You would have allies, […]
