One Family and Three Professors: My sister Major Kristin (West Point). my mother (Cal Poly) and me at the beautiful University of Louisville!
Here is what I am reading today:
“Over the years I have tried out various distribution channels in order to find potential dates, be they offline (introductions from friends, parties, etc.) or online. Online, I have tried pretty much every single site there is to try: eHarmony, Meetic, Lavalife, Matchmaker, Craigslist, OkCupid, Match, Adult Friendfinder and many more, with varying success. Some online sites have proven to be too much work to be worth it (e.g. Craigslist or Adult Friendfinder), while others just made introductions to grossly incompatible people (eHarmony). I did meet fantastic girls on Match which led to some of my longest and most successful relationships, but even there the process is overly arduous.”
“Turns out, the millionaires are on Facebook. In fact, the Wall Street Journal says they are “piling” onto the network. That’s “piling,” like what you do to stacks of million-dollar bills. You know what I mean. We’ve all been there. Here’s the quote: “A new study shows that 46% of online users with investible assets of $1 million or more are members of Facebook, up from 26% a year ago.””
“Twitter trends were topped by soccer (okay, football) news this week, with Jersey Shore coming in second as a result of an unusual request by clothier Abercrombie & Fitch.
Of course, Justin Bieber still appeared on the list, along with Harry Potter, a fondly remembered rock star, a special day for Brazilian dads, and even a couple of fast food joints. It was an eclectic week, to say the least.”
“The discontinued HP TouchPad continues its liquidation at fire sale prices, and the frantic search for the defunct tablet at that illusive $99.99 price is one of the trending topics on Twitter today. Use this link to search Twitter for the latest info, or use the Twitter hashtag #HPTouchpad to get pricing and locations where the TouchPad might be available.”
