With a fledgling social network on the rise (Google+), it’s time I rant a little about a pet peeve of mine.

Many social networking sites offer the ability to import your contacts from one service into theirs. I know it’s convenient and saves you a lot of time, and helps them attract new users, but what about the privacy of the people you’re ingesting into the new social network?

Without any consent, I’ve seen my contact information freely given away to social networks so that my data can be mined and used to someone else’s financial gain. My contact information is MINE, given to my trusted friends. It’s not theirs to give away to third parties.

Developers — please do the right thing and stop doing this. It’s sleazy.

When did Leo become so mean-spirited?

I’ve been noticing it more and more, lately. As he’s become more and more passive-aggressive about Steve Jobs not favoring him, he’s gotten more and more open about loving other tech. Tonight, listening to This Week in Google, he straight up mocked the creator of custom Android ROMs for being young.

Leo; seriously. Chill the eff out.

Edit:  I’ve softened some of my response, and another trend I’ve noticed is that Leo’s recent move away from Apple could be based on their increased popularity & his desire to stay edgy and counter-culture.

Ricky Martin Music:

I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am. 

Congrats, homes — I’m sure that’s a big relief.

Bleh… fighting off a nasty cold that I managed to bring back w/ me from Nola.
