Social Media Works!

What is social media good for but those narcissists that insist on letting everyone know how cool they are by checking in to absolutely everywhere on foursquare and letting everyone on FB know what they are doing? Marketing of course, and I don’t mean those stupid get skinny quick ads on facebook.
Two weeks ago some friends and I met up for dinner and to see Lydia, the band.

F**K You BP!

It’s been a month since the oil leak started on the Gulf and they didn’t figure out a way to stop that thing yet. Even seeing all the disaster online and on TV, it might not give you the exact idea of how bad that shit is.

Chicago Olympics 2016

Last week I ended up going to this site www.chicagoansforrio.com I can’t remember how I found it but I immediately shared it with fellow coworkers and posted it on facebook. It’s worth a chuckle and the logo is hilarious.
