the Cube - yeah!....

The Matrix too.

Here, there and everywhere.

We have the choice of where we want to be. the web certainly widens the options for communicating -

It's an interesting tapestry we are all weaving out here on this world wide web - each of us posting our posts, sharing our thoughts, recipes, lyrics, arguing points and political opinions, fears, needs for prayer and support. It's pretty amazing really. Community at its best. For this moment, I am very happy to be able to hang out in this big jam session with all of the posters out here.

The web can also be overwhelming, demanding, disturbing, stunting, addicting, providing far more information to marketers (and other surveyors and miners of our content) than we realize. I find myself uncomfortable with my own judgmentalism as I see the kinds of things that people put up on my Facebook page or the oft time inane, inflammatory, meanspirited, ignorant comments some people will make. I gotta get a grip.

Another thing I don't like about the Facebook scene is how many of my friends click that button that asks for permission to access their friends' information. It feels like a test in a psych lab where the observer wants to see how many times they can get you to give your friends' up. Training. Lab rats.

Uh oh, back to the Cube.... I saw that on Television in the 1970's. It made a big impact. I think there's a re-make out on YouTube.

Off to make some toast and strawberry jam,
