    As with most new things, the potential for something to go terribly wrong exists. This time with Facebook’s live streaming. Earlier this month a man was shot and killed while streaming. It’s wasn’t the first time a death was broadcasted, with the Virginia newscasters being the first to come to mind, but it was the…

    A couple years ago I gave up on checking Facebook messages. At that time all I was getting was rules questions, that I was asked not to answer via Facebook, and Happy Birthday messages.

    I’m kind of annoyed by Facebook Groups. I guess it’s not really the groups, but the fact that someone can add me to one and it defaults to me getting an email about every single bit of activity that happens in the group. During my Facebookless Lent I was added to a couple groups and…

    … for Lent. I’ve decided to give up Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Bacon, and Beer for Lent. You’ll still get a tweet and Facebook status update when I publish something on andrejcarter.com because those are done automatically, but that should be all until Easter.
