So...I went to Fiji

...and totally got married on the beach (to a hot blonde):


 


(if you want to see the photos, shoot me a message for the album links)

...and if you didn't know, it's ok. I didn't even invite my family.

Young people who embrace mobile tech can feel overconnected

yeah, that's me..."Ambivalent Networker"

Ambivalent Networkers, however, are distinct in that Pew says they have folded mobile devices into every aspect of their social lives. Texting, social networking, entertainment—you name it and this group is doing it with mobile devices of some sort. They're significantly less likely to watch traditional TV on a daily basis than the rest of the adult population (24 percent, versus 79 of all adults), though they do watch TV shows on on non-TV devices more than any other group. Additionally, 66 percent of this group performs at least one non-voice activity on their cell phones per day, the highest of all the groups, and 91 percent of this group relies on their cell phones for all of their calls.

Despite this heavy reliance on technology, Ambivalent Networkers—primarily 20-somethings, and 60 percent male—didn't actually "like" this level of availability as much as everyone else. Only 31 percent strongly agreed that they liked being so accessible, compared to the sample's average of 47 percent and near the bottom for all groups. More than half of Ambivalent Networkers agreed that taking a break is definitely a good idea, which was (surprisingly) ten percentage points above the average from other groups.

"You should be nervous...he's fast as lighting"

...said Martha Stewart about Jon

"Joh Stewart Eviscerates Jim Cramer and CNBC" is this mornings Huffington Post lead.



I find it reminiscent of Jon on Crossfire back in the day. You decide. Pay attention to the last 30 seconds - that's where all of this started.

this is why Main Street hates Wall Street.



Of course the mechanics of it are not unlike politics or picking up a girl at a bar.

At least the latter doesn't conspire with the former two to reign financial ruin on a global scale.
