Admittedly I may be guilty of “documenting” events as they happen and posting them online while out with friends- BUT- I’m aware that its rude and try to keep it to a minimum.</p> <p>Meeting folks from twitter has been AWESOME! But the same medium that enabled us to gather and meet also is the one annoyance I have with twitterati.  When together are we not suppose to interact? Can we put the mobile devices down to chat in real-time face to face?</p> <p>Well- this video pretty much sums up the whole social networking “thing” and issues I’ve seen developing due to technologies.</p> <p>Just as with anything in life- everything in moderation seems to be key.</p> <p>“Lets make technologies that make people MORE human and not less!”</p>http://thegarciablog.com/post/95737214http://thegarciablog.com/post/95737214Mon, 13 Apr 2009 09:20:13 -0400<img src="http://3.media.tumblr.com/OXXEoxj8mlp20f65pDHS6EK3o1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/>misc  :)http://thegarciablog.com/post/91292359http://thegarciablog.com/post/91292359Mon, 30 Mar 2009 14:44:00 -0400<img src="http://15.media.tumblr.com/OXXEoxj8mlkqwcxx7EhFO8p8o1_400.png"/><br/><br/><p>I’m A Key USB!!!</p> <p>I’m thinking silver….sleek, blends in with my keys on the ol’ key chain but how about it be a USB :) now it is.
