Cell Phones: Enabling Passive-Aggressivism One Text Message at a Time
An old girlfriend once broke up with me by text messaging me. I thought that was the coldest form of text messaging I had ever seen, but it turns out that I was wrong. Consider the case of Katy Tanner, who was fired from her job through text messaging. (via Cheryl Floyd-Miller)
Terrorist Plot
I woke up to craziness this morning. News here.
What is the evidence of this plot? There are 21 people arrested, but they better be damn clear on what went down. The skeptic in me wonders if the “no liquids” ban is a disingenuous way for airlines and airports to sell more beverages.
Confessions of a Junket Whore
Eric Snider: “I, on the other hand, don’t work for the paper and wouldn’t be representing them specifically on the junket. I’d be a freelancer, representing only myself. So the only thing stopping me from going was whether I, personally, had any ethical qualms about it. I do have such qualms, but I also have a curious nature and enjoy doing things that I have never done before. That’s why I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die, and that’s why I said yes to Paramount. This is the story of how I spent 24 hours as a junket whore.” (via The Hot Button)
