Love & Breakups in the Facebook Age
I love social media. I tweet. I run a website. I have a Facebook page. Gear Diary has two Facebook pages. But sometimes … sometimes it just goes too far. Sometimes people lose site of the public nature of these things … or maybe it is just that they don’t use good judgment. Regardless of the reasons, [...]
No Tweet For You!!!!!!
It seems Twittering might have put Chicago chef Rick Bayless in trouble with the White House. Bayless, who is the Chef at Chicago’s Frontera Grill and Topolobampo, is in Washington, D.C. to prepare Wednesday night’s State Dinner to honor Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

No More Application Notifications From Facebook; Users Rejoice!
