One Thing that STILL Baffles Me
To this day, I STILL do not understand why I cannot navigate to a newsfeed of specific friend lists from Facebook.com. Sure, lists are useful in terms of setting privacy settings per list, but if there is no easy way to access a feed of just a certain group of friends, what’s the point in spending time to maintain the lists? Or maybe Facebook wants to minimize the use of “lists” so that people start using “Groups” (which are more public) to satisfy that function? Regardless of the reasoning, I’m at a complete loss as to why you can do it from their iPhone app, but not their main site. Sorry for rambling.
Figuring Out the Future is Never Easy
Even though many people seem to think I have life all figured out, they are wrong — I don’t. I’m headed back to the states on the 21st without a concrete plan. I know full well that the choices I make now, whether it be to keep traveling or remain a little more stationary than I have been over the past 8 months, will alter my entire life’s course. Which is why I want to make sure to soul-search a bit to determine what the best “next step” for me is in terms of reaching my long term goals.
Realty Blogging Made Its Way all the Way to Ghana
I’ve seen Paul Chaney’s Realty Blogging book all over the US, but didn’t know it was sold all over the world. I took the photo above in a book store in the Accra Mall in Ghana today. Congrats Paul!!
Environmental Damage in the Developing World
To me, this photo is appalling; gallons of motor oil dumped straight into the soil. Dumping oil like this anywhere in the US would likely result in a massive fine — and possibly jail time — if caught. In Ghana, and much of the non-Westernized world, no one bats and eye when they see environmental damage like this. In fact, I don’t think the word “environmental damage” means anything to the majority of the world. After all, for those that are among the 2 billion people living on less than $2 a day, I can (unfortunately) understand how feeding your family on a daily basis takes precedence over environmental concerns.
