It’s so nice what well-meaning researchers are doing with location information. Does this creep anyone else out? I mean, what if someone with more nefarious motives had access to this kind of information?

Each of my Facebook clients has gone some kind of stupid in the last week. Even the straight up webpage stopped working reliably. MyPad just had an update, but it’s worse. Friendly got an update yesterday hadn’t used it in a long time, but it seems to be the one that is working today. Some nice features, including the ability to change the font size, good for these old eyes of mine.

Facebook is working really wonky today. Last few days all of my iOS clients have gone weird, think they’re tweaking the interface sloppily.

Apple comes clean about geolocation data on their phones. I can understand what they are trying to do, but leaving it on there permanently is kinda sloppy. They’ll fix it in another update but let’s not forget that this kind of thing will probably happen again.

Oh yeah… Don’t forget that pictures taken with a cel phone can have geotags, too. I think George Orwell is rolling in his grave.

Not just apple phones, people. You should assume that ANY cel phone has the ability to betray your movements. And unless trends reverse, this information is warrant-free to law enforcement.

Just seems prudent… It begs one to become not quite a Luddite - they wanted to destroy the technology that threatened them - but rather one that doesn’t play in the tech so much.

I would support a law that would prevent people from buying a djembe as their first drum. Failing that, some instruction is called for.

No love lost between me and Lady Gaga, but come on… really?

The REAL video is out NOW!!! Check it out:

http://vevo.ly/j5WPqP

The new album ALPOCALYPSE is in stores (as well as iTunes, Amazon and everywhere else) NOW!

My mama told me when I was hatched Act like a superstar Save your allowance, buy a bubble dress And someday you will go far Now on red carpets, well, I’m hard to miss The press follows everywhere I go I’ll poke your eye out with a dress like this Back off and enjoy the show!

I’m sure my critics will say it’s a grotesque display Well, they can bite me, baby – I perform this way I might be wearin’ Swiss cheese or maybe covered with bees It doesn’t mean I’m crazy – I perform this way

Ooo, my little monsters pay… lots ’cause I perform this way Baby, I perform this way Ooo, don’t worry, I’m okay… hey, I just perform this way I’m not crazy, I perform this way

I’ll be a troll or evil queen I’ll be a human jelly bean ’Cause every day is Halloween For me…

I’m so completely original My new look is all the rage I’ll wrap my small intestines ’round my neck And set fire to myself on stage I’ll wear a porcupine on my head On a W-H-I-M And for no reason now I’ll sing in French Excusez-moi, Qui a pété?

Got my straight jacket today, it’s made of gold lamé No, not because I’m crazy - I perform this way I strap prime rib to my feet, cover myself with raw meat I’ll bet you’ve never seen a skirt steak worn this way

Don’t be offended when you see My latest pop monstrosity I’m strange, weird, shocking, odd, bizarre I’m Frankenstein, I’m Avatar There’s nothing too embarrassing I’ll honestly do anything But wear white after Labor Day ’Cause baby, I perform this way

Hope you won’t think it’s cliché if I go nude today Don’t call the cops now, baby, I perform this way No reason I should regret all the attention I get I’m not completely crazy, I perform this way, yeah

I perform this way-hey, I perform this way-hey I’m always deviating from the norm this way-hey I perform this way-hey, I perform this way-hey I’m really not insane – I just perform this way-hey
