Maybe it's just that Mark Zuckerberg already has enough money

Last night at the ballgame we got stuck in front of one of those Yoda-like (at least in his own head) fountains of wisdom about everything in the universe.

When the guy noticed that I was keeping score on my iPad, suddenly we had to have a conversation about computers.

"Do you know why I don't use Facebook?" he asked.

"Because you're concerned about identity theft?" was my actual reply. Right answer, as it turned out.

Other options that would have been much better:

"Because you don't have any friends?

"Because you don't cotton to those new-fangled computemy boxes?

"Because one of the terms of your parole is that you can't use social media sites?

"Tell me if I'm getting close here."

I've made some progress on 8sails updates since last I wrote, but I've gotten snagged on the entry for April 4. It's supposed to include the March movie summary, which means I have to finish uploading all the March reviews first. Working backward has its disadvantages.

On the other hand, less than a week now before classes end and I can get down to serious work on the Survival Guide.
