This article will help interactors with online content to evaluate his or her current place in the inter-ethers.

There are four

24 Hour Fitness Easy Pay

24 Hour Fitness Easy Pay

Yesterday I walked into the 24 hour fitness in Newport Center. I proceeded to scan my finger, when I noticed an interesting new sign. It said something like: Sign up for “Easy Pay” and receive 10% off retail purchases – Just use a pin number and leave your credit card at home. In a previous article, we discussed the implications of the fingerprint identification

Strange Facebook Trend Semi-Directed Status updates

Strange Facebook Trend (SFT) : Semi-Directed Status Updates

I’ve been on Facebook over a year and I’ve noticed an increase in the amount of Status Updates that are at least partially directed at specific people. But the strange thing about it is that the actual person who the status update is directed at is not specifically identified in the status update. To make

Unemployment Issue in fuzzy area

What will you have?

The Unemployment issue is getting really juicy and interesting. I’ve been doing a lot of looking into the subject because I thought that there was already going to be a decision made on Unemployment Extension by now. But I just checked and it looks like Unemployment Extension is in a really fuzzy area. Some Democrats are attempting to link an Unemployment Extension with the upcoming

Newport Center 24 Hour Fitness fingerprint scanners

24 Hour Fitness implements fingerprint scanners

Just today I noticed that there were people in line at the 24 Hour Fitness next to Newport Center. They were in line to sign up for the Fingerprint Scanner. It seems that this technology has been around for a couple months at 24 Hour Fitness and that sadly demonstrates how often I’ve been to the gym lately. What I thought was interesting

Cards Cards and more Cards

cards cards and more cards

“Hello sir, would you like to take advantage of our membership card?” Why don’t they just ask, “Hi, would you like more garbage to put on your keychain, some more heaviness in your wallet, and a little extra SPAM in your e-mail inbox?” I love how they tell you how much you saved by using their card. You just saved twenty dollars by using

Civilization Savagery and Wealth Creation

Civilization

Everyone knows what a civilization is. It is in a nutshell a group of people working together with specialized skills in order to achieve goals. And according to theĀ  MirriamWebster.com definition number two of a savagery, it is quite simply, “an uncivilized state.” The term savagery is not used very often because people tend to associate the word savagery with the more negative term “savage.” But for the

Cents

Today I made several purchases of items. The first purchase was for laundry and dry cleaning but that was done via credit card. But later in the day I bought a Chipotle Barbeque Burger from Veggie Grill and some Tomato Basil soup. The soup was very good by the way. I imagined that it was going to be bright red and runny. But in fact the soup was

Sitting in Silence contrasting with usual interaction

Sitting in Silence can contrast with everyday usual interactions. After sitting in silence for about 3 hours or more, going back to walking around and interacting with people in the world just isn’t the same. My experience with this happened today when I was reading and working in my journal for about three hours this afternoon. I was deeply immersed in what I was doing and even though I was

Contemplations on the Starbucks Chocolate Chunk Cookie

Starbucks Chocolate Chunk Cookie

The Chocolate Chunk Cookie from Starbucks has 360 calories. So now that we know this, why don’t we combo it with something? I like dunking the Chocolate Chunk Cookie in a Venti Latte. The bitter flavor of the coffee mixes so well with the butteryness and sweetness of the cookie. Now not all Chocolate Chunk Cookies are created equal. Sometimes they are pretty hard by
