I'm hoping someone can help me: I'm looking for a post/article about how college students are using Facebook photos - including the ones showing them drinking beer - to create the impression of living the perfect college life. I thought I saw it on Penelope Trunk's blog, but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know the article or seen something similar? I'm considering using it in a paper on social media standards, so would love the help. Thanks!!

It seems that fb photos have become an important part of college sub-cultures built around drinking because they somehow "prove" (to yourself and others) how good a time you had (in part because memory loss is a standard in the drinking culture as well).
I suspect that most ppl don't have a great time when they go out and binge, but the pictures (where ppl pose looking like they're having a good time because who doesn't put on their best face for a picture?) let us live a collective myth, the myth of the "epic night". It's also odd that FB photos are almost more real than experienced reality in the "if there isn't a picture of it on fb it didn't happen" sense.
Both FB and mass market digital photography have changed the way we experience social reality - we can construct stories around powerful linchpins (photos) that augment or even replace some lived experiences (e.g. the photo of you smiling with friends becomes a "truer" part of the story of your evening than you vomiting everywhere because the former has been recorded)

As an employer, though, I expect anyone with photos of that nature to have their profile set to friends-only, and if they don't, I;d be concerned about their level of technical ability on the computer.

Hey everybody, happy Friday to all!
Was wondering when you last busted out the pen and paper and just started writing / brainstorming.
Practicing the old fashioned writing process we learned about in middle school.

Technology is awesome, and for complete sentences I've always preferred typing (b.1982) but 8 years of college has made it relatively difficult to fully engage and listen to other people talking without writing out things I'm thinking at the same time. Lists, ideas, that sort of thing. "Playing on paper" also makes large meetings much less painful :-)

I pretty much constantly carry a notepad and pen. I love me some technology, but nothing beats the way paper and pen capture spontaneous thought.

For once, I'm in the mood to blog. It's something I want to start doing with greater frequency and I'm making a concerted effort to use my time more productively. The focus of my site is feminist and LGBTQ issues - anyone want to suggest a topic for me? Nothing's really grabbing my attention today.

I've been thinking about blogging about my interests, mainly discussing marketing as it relates to science/technology/sex. I'm curious on your thoughts on mixing those ideas in with my personal blog, which will feature thoughts on books I'm reading or developments on my job search, etc. Would it make sense to separate the two? Or can they be one and the same? Any advice would be appreciated!

I think the simplest course of action would be to use one blog and blog about everything, and when appropriate, tie it into my personal life. Keeps things simple!

Would a political cartoon get a serious message across to an adult and how much do you have to worry about crossing the so called "line"?? I'm currently working on an art piece for a class. I'm huge on bending the rules and make people think/question themselves. Could you some insight on what you think
Caren:
It's good to break the rules. That's how our culture can advance. Your professor may appreciate your dedication to your message.
