Whereas gmail and Google Contacts and Google Calendar are absolute data vaults that protect my identity and personal data as if it were their own.
Remember: when Larry Ellison and Mark Zuckerberg say "Privacy is dead," they're not stating a fact; they're making a wish. They're wishing that your privacy were dead and that they could make more money by exploiting it.

I freed up a massive block of time by ignoring faceborg.

Also, I finally found those damned Pocky thingies we were discussing late last year. Not bad.

Mods, I submitted a post that is in moderation purgatory. If you can rescue it, that would be great–thanks!
Me too!
Purgatory is hell, amirite?

"Won-Ton Display" FTW
It says "signature Collection", but I don't see his "signature" on it.
