I am intrigued by facebook ... I love to ponder the potential for education and world unity from the grass roots ... I am intrigued by what motivates some people to scribe the posts I see and why some people share every personal detail ...

 

I am intrigued by its potential as an enabler for disaster management, social change and community relations ... I would like to understand why facebook facilitates teen bullying so effectively and what creative solutions might turn that into a positive rather than such a destructive force ... I love observing the world (and people) through the facebook lens ... and, I love the great wit and humour shared through the many wall posts ... come explore it all ... comment, follow and add to this site by suggesting posts!

And lovers, however kind or cruel.
Let’s undervalue and unmend
The present. Why can’t we pretend
Every stage of life is the same?
