A Note About Online Privacy: There Is None
Posted by: nouellette on Thursday, December 17, 2009

It's been interesting to watch reactions to Facebook's changes in their privacy policy. Status updates of some of my friends have outlined how to change privacy settings by unclicking a box in the administrative options of a profile. Then I saw an interesting post on Beth's Blog about a movement called Seppukoo (named after the noble death of samaris who threw themselves down on their swords) to get people to cancel their Facebook accounts and reclaim their lives.
 
Committing virtual suicide: One way to ensure your privacy. The other is to embrace the internet as part of your public life.

My mom has been recieving Bon Appetit magazine and then either sending them or giving them to me for years now. Also, whenever people see a great recipe in a book or are thinking of getting rid of a cookbook, they ask me first.

I'm known as a lover or recipes and a bit of a cook (though not at all a baker as some friends are a little too quick to point out...though my cake with substitutions did work out in the end, anyway...). The problem then becomes a file folder of recipes I can't organize, let alone find to make. Plus piles of ripped out magazine pages just get to me.
