I rarely put post titles in all lower-case, but since this is an article about web 2.0, peer pressure kicked in. I figured I’d try to fit in - you know, be hip? Lower-case letters are “hip”, right?
My Relationship with AOL
I’m weird when it comes to social networking and online presence. In my crowd of “real life” friends, I’m one of very few people with a twitter account. In that respect, I suppose I’m forward-thinking. However, it wasn’t until very recently that I set up a myspace account. My “protest” wasn’t all that visionary, I admit. I needed to suck it up, it being my loathing of poor design, obnoxious advertising, and Rupert Murdoch .

Wow! That was an interesting first night of what’s shaping up to be the most uncomfortable Dover Carnival in history. Personally, I had a great time. It was really wonderful to see many of my friends again; I’ve realized just how much I miss them. Working non-stop has its downsides, it appears.

In the last paragraph, I predicted that the carnival would be “uncomfortable”. Last night, a kid was either physically assaulted or “mugged”. Although I don’t know all of the details, it’s really unfortunate. To add onto this, the hooligans who started Dover High School’s (much talked about) decline traveled around together in packs.
