Why, no, Firefox spell-checker, I do not, in fact, mean to type “Wonderbra,” when I type “Taekwondo.” I’m grateful for your assistance and for inspiring me to post something!

Someone sent me a WHAT on FaceBook? Uh, ok, I guess that’s what friends are for. I was inclined to say, “FaceBook is so weird,” but after arguing on FriendFeed that certain bloggers should blame people and not services for strange human behavior, I guess I would be a hypocrite if I gave in to my temptation. People are so strange! It does make life interesting, though.

According to the FaceBook quiz “What 70’s t.v. show character are you?” I am Gilligan Island’s Professor. The quiz offers me some advice that I suspect would get me slapped with a protective order (thanks, all the same, though; it’s been fun). via AlertThingy

On FaceBook, I saw a friend had taken the Inner Nationality Quiz, so I decided to take it, too. Ever laughed so hard you couldn’t type? Japanese? Everybody knows I’m Korean ;)

Do I really have to add a FaceBook Relative? I mean, really really? I can find them; I don’t need your help.

Well, there’s ONE reporter I’d like to add to my LinkedIn connections. Now, can I find her guy?…

FriendFeed blog widget: <sarcasm> because a shirtless Arnold Schwarzenegger is what I want visitors to my tech blog seeing.</sarcasm> Looks like I have a choice to make. I can: remove the FriendFeed widget from my blog, be more conscientious about posting content to FriendFeed (honestly, I feel I do not post enough, so the thought of having to restrict myself really rankles), make sure that I post five techie things immediately after a goofy post, so that the fluff doesn’t stay on the widget long, or get over it and just have fun. I’m not sure what to do. I’m leaning toward all three. Pushing down the fluff posts might work, but if someone marks an older post as liked or comments on it, I think it will just pop back onto the blog. That means I’m going to have to be behave and hope that the two or three people who visit my blog in given month will forgive me when I decide to let my hair down a little. At this point, I’m really not considering removing the widget. Life teaches us so many lessons, don’t you agree?

Because of the controversy on FriendFeed about Robert Scoble&#8217;s posting of an Amazon Affiliate link (and because I&#8217;ve often wondered if I should), I have updated my tech blog with a disclosure widget. I&#8217;ve never gotten a check from any advertising from either Google or Amazon, but I have this dream that I might one day get assistance buying my beloved technology. Hope that&#8217;s alright by you.
