Posted on April 21, 2018 by Nathan

I don’t plan on deleting my Facebook account. Yes, I’m bothered by how much data they have on me, but I’m also lazy. And I’m not sure how much of it can really be used in a malicious way. Maybe … Continue reading →

The Few, the Proud, the Geeky

Posted on January 9, 2015 by Nathan

You’re in Love with Yourself

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Nathan
