Facebook: The Online Big Brother?

Nov 25, 2007 - I can't deny the fact that social networks are a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, but when I hear about stories like this, I get worried about online privacy and security. Facebook has recently introduced a marketing program that publicizes users purchases in their "Mini-Feed" for all their friends to see—movies, clothes, household goods, you name it.

Super Mario Brothers Bath Bombs: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

Feb 29, 2008 - I have a sickness for anything that smells good and can be put into a bathtub. Preying on that sickness and my love for Nintendo characters (the evil!) are these Super Mario Brothers bath bombs. Bath bombs, which are way more fun than they are complicated, are a total big girl indulgence, but the action figures (including Mario, Luigi, Fire Mario, Bowzer, Goomba, and Power Mushroom) that emerge when your bomb has dissolved are kind of a little girl indulgence. - 14 Comments
