Google+ for me is like the bizarre lovechild of Facebook and Tumblr, raised by Twitter. 

Are they a bunch of acne-faced teenagers engaging in random acts of mob violence from their mothers' basements, or the true protectors of the Internet? Or both? It's a paradox – and one that begs questions about the true nature and power of the Net.

Going green is important if we want to keep living on this third rock from the sun for any appreciable time, and I like to think that I'm doing my bit. I recycle plastic bottles, put used paper out for collection, and when the pile of collected glass bottles gets too big, they get dropped off in a dedicated glass collection bin, too.
