Did You Know About the Amish Project?

Did You Know About the Amish Project?

The Amish Project. One Young Man’s Experiment to unplug from Social Media. Sadly I think my generation, generation X was the last generation to grow up without Social Media. The internet was born in 1989, the same year I graduated from High School. A few years later the first truly mobile phones came out along with text messaging. AOL followed in 1995, which was the first social media platform, followed by Windows 95. Here you find a...

Flipboard for iPhone/iPad. It Does it All!

Flipboard for iPhone/iPad. It Does it All!

I know, I know… for those of you techies that follow me, Flipboard has been out for almost two years now. Why am I reviewing it now? Initially I never did a review on this App because it didn’t have the functionality to make me want to replace my trusty Ol’ Reeder program. It was nice, it was polished but not quite as good Reeder. But now, the app has come a long way… Here are some of my thoughts on...

SOPA/PIPA Opposition Grows. Will Our Politicians Get the Message?

SOPA/PIPA Opposition Grows. Will Our Politicians Get the Message?

Tomorrow the Internet Goes Dark… Last month the internet community went into overdrive. Congress attempted to sneak in and pass a bill called SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act. Many times this tactic works. Present a bill during the holidays and watch it get passed because too many informed citizens are well into celebrating their holiday festivities. SOPA seemed sure to pass. It had so much support. This time was different. This...

Google Claims Internet Access isn’t a Human Right? I Beg to Differ

Google Claims Internet Access isn’t a Human Right? I Beg to Differ

One of the most odd stories I came across this past week was Google’s position on Internet Access. Google, the company whose motto is “Don’t Be Evil” released this quote from their Vice President: Internet access, while an enabler of basic human rights, is not itself a human right, says Google Vice President Vinton Cerf. “There is a high bar for something to be considered a human right,” Cerf says in...

Major League Baseball Supports SOPA

Major League Baseball Supports SOPA

I found this little fact interesting. Major League baseball is a supporter of SOPA. As a Mets fan and a contributing blogger to the MetsReport.com, I find this a little disturbing. Mets fans are very critical of the way the NY METS are run and they state their opinions through the comments section of the Mets Blogs they subscribe too. They have every right to be critical too considering the team is heading towards bankruptcy and a 6th...

SOPA, Stop Online Piracy Act – Corporate Takedown of Social Media

SOPA, Stop Online Piracy Act – Corporate Takedown of Social Media

The Title says it all. The SOPA Act is equivalent to a Corporate Takedown of Social Media which is how people today get together and talk over issues. This act has the ability to take down significant parts, if not all of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter preventing freedom of speech, assembly and freedom of the press. The debate on SOPA continues on Dec 21st The vote on the SOPA bill was delayed, we thought, till next year. Now we find out it...
