Winter’s Touch
Snow upon the grass
This winter’s touch is gentle
Warmth of family
Calm breathing of God

Facebook Page Spoofing: A Newer Internet Annoyance
I’ve received notices from time-to-time from “friends” who I’d already friended. Random and every so often. Today, it was my turn.
It started with a good friend texting me saying he’d just gotten a friend request from me. Well, as we’ve been friends on Facebook for years, it was a tad bit suspicious.
I jumped on to my page, and up pops a message saying it looks like someone is pretending to be me and what do I want to. Actually, the whole process was pretty quick and easy. Ironically, while I was messaging a few other friends who’d let me know, I had a friend request from someone I’ve known for years. And got to report that one.
I’m really not sure the value of this, except for the ability to directly message people and solicit cash. Probably setting up a “I need emergency funds” scam.
Anyway, be duly diligent with new friend requests; especially if you suspect you already are Facebook friends. And, if someone pings you saying they’re in a Mexican jail needing bail money (or some such thing), be suspicious.
Be safe out there!
My new favorite Christmas music
I’ve not been a fan of Christmas music, not for a long rime. So much is cheesy schlock. We’ll, Pentatonix fixed that for me. This is my favorite somg of 2016. Amd might well be my favorite ever.

I CAN = Innovate, Collaborate, Achieve and Network
This is a title for a training program which was emailed to me. I love this acronym! A great way to drive home keep components of effectiveness in today’s business climate, especially that of real estate. However, the connected world impacts us all.

“Captain Rex In Return Of The Jedi – Star Wars Explained”
I’ve come to love the character Captain Rex from the Star Wars universe. A main character in both The Clone Wars and Rebels, this clone of Jango Fett is a very complex and interesting character.
Anyways, the idea that he survived from the Cline Wars to the end of Return of the Jedi.
Auto-Play Emails: My Bane On The Web
Reading “With Autoplay On, Turkey Assassination Video Shocks Twitter” reminded me of one of the things I’ve hated on the web for ages: auto-play email.
Now, what I’ve long loathed is the simple nuisance of the videos blaring audio. What’s even better is when a site has multiple-autoplay videos on their site (like a news article and an ad). The noise and caucaphony drives me bats.
Now, though, here’s another, more powerful reason to end this practice. You’re scrolling through your Facebook or Twitter feed and your hit with a murder. There’s nothing more crass or brutal to just stumble upon.
If good taste nor good, thoughtful design won’t get the powers-that-be to end this practice, perhaps getting dinged with PTSD suits will.
End auto-play videos: it’s good for us all.
