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 [...]]]> http://daviddaniels.com/2012/01/did-you-know-about-the-amish-project/feed/ 0 http://daviddaniels.com/2012/01/flipboard-for-iphoneipad-it-does-it-all/ http://daviddaniels.com/2012/01/flipboard-for-iphoneipad-it-does-it-all/#comments Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:30:34 +0000 David Daniels http://daviddaniels.com/?p=9583 #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; } 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.

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.

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 [...]]]> http://daviddaniels.com/2012/01/google-claims-internet-access-isnt-a-human-right-i-beg-to-differ/feed/ 0 http://daviddaniels.com/2012/01/happy-new-year-thanks-to-my-readers/ http://daviddaniels.com/2012/01/happy-new-year-thanks-to-my-readers/#comments Tue, 03 Jan 2012 12:30:22 +0000 David Daniels http://daviddaniels.com/?p=9536 http://daviddaniels.com/2012/01/happy-new-year-thanks-to-my-readers/feed/ 3 http://daviddaniels.com/2011/12/major-league-baseball-supports-sopa/ http://daviddaniels.com/2011/12/major-league-baseball-supports-sopa/#comments Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:30:40 +0000 David Daniels http://daviddaniels.com/?p=9524 #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; } 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.

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 [...]]]> http://daviddaniels.com/2011/12/sopa-stop-online-piracy-act-corporate-takedown-of-social-media/feed/ 0 http://daviddaniels.com/2011/12/time-to-occupy-the-internet-before-its-too-late-ows-occupyli/ http://daviddaniels.com/2011/12/time-to-occupy-the-internet-before-its-too-late-ows-occupyli/#comments Sat, 10 Dec 2011 13:00:30 +0000 David Daniels http://daviddaniels.com/?p=9479 #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; } I’m reposting this in it’s entirety from the Huffington Post.
