Post net pictures at your peril

THOSE drunken photos of you dancing in your underwear may seem
hilarious now – but in five years they could stop you winning the job
of your dreams.

This clipped from The Advertiser: "Adelaidenow"

YES, it's a good idea to think more than twice about what we post on a net!
Not just the Facebook, and Myspace gobbledygook we may post but even our Twitters and Pownces could be held against us!

I pondered recently if my great grandchildren will be reviewing my Twitter posts years from now........... Scary thought!

For that reason I keep many a rant to myself. Of course there's plenty of nonsensical drivel out there that has dripped of my fingertips into the eternal record of the human race. I cringe a little at the thought, but thus far it's nothing to lose sleep over. When I occasionally ask myself: "Self, who are you writing to?" I come back with the answer of "nobody" and "EVERBODY" in the same sentence.

Strange indeed. I'd better accompany this with a picture of something......interesting..
Here: Good luck finding a job with these silly hats, ladies!

Google is all up in my grill

Google is now cruising down country roads in Sonoma County... amazing.
Glad the lawn was mowed!
