Facebook

I deleted my facebook account some time ago because I was concerned about their privacy policy, or rather, lack thereof. I didn't like the fact that people could find me through their search, and my facebook account was the first result when googling my name. I especially did not appreciate the fact that facebook sells my information to companies for targeted "market research" or that they were started by a CIA venture capital.

Call me paranoid, but I prefer to keep my private information - private; that includes my picture and my likeness. Even when I did have an account, I never kept a picture on there and hated when people tagged me in theirs. I removed the tags immediately. In the same way Jason likes to keep his public and private pictures separate (#24), I prefer to keep all my pictures private.

As it turns out, I left not a moment too soon. Facebook recently updated their TOS so that they now own the rights to all your information, pictures, and even your name forever and ever to use in whatever way they want.

You hereby grant Facebook an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to (a) use, copy, publish, stream, store, retain, publicly perform or display, transmit, scan, reformat, modify, edit, frame, translate, excerpt, adapt, create derivative works and distribute (through multiple tiers), any User Content you (i) Post on or in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof subject only to your privacy settings or (ii) enable a user to Post, including by offering a Share Link on your website and (b) to use your name, likeness and image for any purpose, including commercial or advertising, each of (a) and (b) on or in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof.


They can even license it to 3rd parties. So my dear friends, please do not post anymore pictures of me to your facebook accounts. Hell, I'd prefer if you didn't post them to anywhere online. If you love looking at me so much, keep me to yourselves please. I would hate to be the guy whose face is unwittingly used to advertise the next erectile dysfunction drug or something like that.

I am Scott. I don't update.

Hi I am Scott Wang. I go to Rice as a MBA student. There's lots of ugly women in my class so it's really easy for me to focus on my school. Lately I joined the basketball club and now even practice with the women's basketball team. That is all folks. Toodle doo.

Futebol!

Who wants to play soccer? It's indoor so no rain and no sun. It's a lot of running so you will get skinny..the field is about the size of a bball court. We need at least 3 guys and 3 girls for a coed team so tell your friends etc. $500 for the whole team so the more the better. It is in Stafford so a little bit of a drive for most of us ( the place inside the loop costs more than twice as much ). There are 8 games a season one game a week. There are a bunch of leagues based on skill level so we won't get owned by pros.

I'm on a random coed team right now and even though I don't know any of my teammates it's a lot of fun just to exercise and learn some soccer skrillz - the season ends in about a month.

Ike post 2

I think I've talked to or heard about everyone directly or indirectly...and it's safe to say everyone is alive. That being said, Houston looks like someone went through and pruned the entire city and left all the clippings on the ground. The usual places flooded plus some minor leaks, tree damage, downed power lines, and broken windows. That's all. Galveston looks like New Orleans, from what I can tell.

I played Trivial Pursuit when I had no power and discovered I suck.

I think pretty much everyone had water, and now starting to get power. I have power and water. Adam and Jason are lucky and have power, water, and INTERNETS. Thanks Adam for letting me borrow the interwebs. I went to work today just so I could use the interwebs.

To lighten up the mood, here's your funny news story of the day.

PS. Cell phone coverage sucks, but texting is still good. If you're calling your parents in SL, call their landline, that works best. But make sure they're not using the new fangled cordless/battery phone. Gotta use the reliable corded phone.

Congrats Jonathan and Eve

All I want to say is you faggot. First of all, I was just kidding about how I was going to propose to her first so you didn't have to rush the engagement. Second, you're an idiot for thinking that I was the one that was spilling the beans about the whole engagement, when it was you stupid. Third, Congrats, took you long enough.

Ok a little background before you read this massive email. Daniel found out that some how adam knew about the engagement. So he asked adam how'd he know and he said fung told him. Well, now, for some reason, everyone assumed I told fung. So we meet up that weekend and daniel is like, sunny told fung you were getting engaged. Well, so the whole weekend, they're saying how it's my fault if eve already knows. So I had enough and decided to call fung. So here I present to you why jonathan is a moron.

look moron. I called fung to find out who told her. and she said jon told me. At the wedding she asked you who's getting married first, you or michael. Well you said it was going to be you. I'm gone finishing.

it doesn't change the fact that sunny wants fung

Fung is a pretty person. In fact, I've been told she's beautiful by my friend. My first love (eve) is taken so I gotta go to the second best. You even said you had the biggest crush on Fung for the longest time. This really doesn't change that fact either.

don't lie... fung's third on your list after eve and cathy... wed-blocker. joey, keep an eye out for sophie, never know what sunny's capable of.

Houston

I'm back! My room is still a mess, and I don't know how I'm going to fit anything else in here, but I'm in home =)
So who wants to play? I've got nothing to do until the end of September when rotations start. Luckily for me, the Olympics kept me company all last week. I don't think I can sit on the couch all day and night again this week. Call me up if you've got nothing to do!

My roomie

So I'm flipping through channels on tv and I end up on the speed channel which is airing a show about supercars - this reminds Scott about some car he read about in his Road & Track magazine that could do 0-60 in .6 seconds or something and the 1/4 mile in 2 seconds. I'm skeptical as he is telling me about this car, because the numbers sound ridiculous, and I tell him it sounds like something a kid came up with while daydreaming in school - Scott shows me a picture of it and it's not even a real picture, just a rendering of a 60's style car, so I just dismiss it and continue watching the show while Scott looks over the article again. Moments later I hear "Oh, you know that car from the movie Speed Racer?"
