Reading this long article in the Atlantic Monthly about a woman’s digital woes made me realize that I’m not protected against a flop in the digital world that may erase all my personal information, thousands and thousands of emails, pictures, and other data I keep either in the virtual cloud or on my hard drive.
My current setup is rather awkward. I have not put any thought into it at all. I back up my hard drive at least once a week to an external hard drive. I use gmail for my emails, but I don’t download the messages including some photos financial documents that I may want to keep for posterity onto my computer. I use Evernote to take notes of random things, which is probably the only thing that matches a cloud version with the hard drive version. I use Picasa software to keep photos organized and some of them appear online. I use the free version of Dropbox, but it’s only used to sync certain files that I may need on all my devices. Gotta get organized.
Who would have thought that Father’s Day blockbuster was created by … an advertising agent?!
Gluttony is a sin but the people who create fast food chains are not evil. The person who decided to eat too much is the one who is at fault.
Deuteronomy 21: 20 - 21 says that the person who continues to live in drunkenness and gluttony even when told to stay away is the one who is at fault for their decision.
Not the person who sells them the food.
There’s nothing wrong with fast food joints. There’s something wrong with cheap fast food joints - much like cheap booze, drugs, and whores. I say tax fatty foods so that people would lack a financial incentive to eat themselves to death. Otherwise, the government is just abating fast food corporations in murder.
