For all those who whine, cry and annoyingly complain when someone posts their picture on Facebook without “their permission”..here is what the court said in a recent case:
“[t]here is nothing within the law that requires [one’s] permission when someone takes a picture and posts it on a Facebook page. There is nothing that requires [one’s] permission when she [is] “tagged” or identified as a person in those pictures.”
The following link at Internet Cases Law & & Tech Blog has a discussion of the case and also a link to the complete court decision.
Letter Of Note of the Day: In 1969, a relatively unknown 28-year-old actor/martial artist named Bruce Lee sat down to pen a letter to his future self outlining what he termed his “definite chief aim.”
Transcript is as follows:
My Definite Chief Aim
I, Bruce Lee, will be the first highest paid Oriental super star in the United States. In return I will give the most exciting performances and render the best of quality in the capacity of an actor. Starting 1970 I will achieve world fame and from then onward till the end of 1980 I will have in my possession $10,000,000. I will live the way I please and achieve inner harmony and happiness.

1969[lon.]
A question to readers:
How many people out there have reached their goals?
How many people have actually written down their goals, a plan and timeline on how to achieve them?
And sadly…how many people do not have a clear goal in life and are just drifting with the currents.

Vicarious: Substitute Teacher Stories - “Students Then And Now.”
I love all of his comics, but this made me spit-take.
- You can’t just say something equals something else; you always have to prove it.
- Just throwing out an answer without any support is never acceptable.
- Having a machine or someone else do it for you is a cop out.
- That being said, without a good reference point on the circle (of life) there are very few things you can finish completely on your own.
- The more detail and information, the better.
- Always, always, ALWAYS simplify.
- If the final product seems a little ridiculous, feel free to look back over what you’ve done and find your mistake so you don’t do it next time.
- But if you can’t find one, have conviction in your actions. Don’t let anybody sway you.
- Sometimes irrational things are an unavoidable and necessary part of life.
- Usually the most complicated looking problems have a simple and neat solution.
- You can’t build something on top of a radical.
- If you overthink things, you’re very likely to miss an obvious answer that would have been staring you right in the face had you not made things so complicated.
- Negatives always distribute.
- Be open to the fact that there might not be an answer. Some things just cannot be solved.
I got a huge kick out of this. Thought of Gaddafi when I read “You can’t build something on top of a radical.”
