You've Just Been Erased! Menos Perros, Menos Pulgas

Hace un tiempo he estado en tres y dos en si elimino mi pagina de fotografia de Facebook. En realidad, nunca tuve interes en la pagina. La hice por complacer una compañera de trabajo que insistio que hiciera la pagina para mostrar y quizas vender mis fotos. 

Hoy temprano me levante pensando en borrar la pagina, y cuando regrese despues de cenar, elimine la  pagina. No me hace falta, y tampoco pienso hacer otra pagina de fotografia en Facebook. Me alegro haberla borrado, menos perros menos pulgas. 

I Am Addicted Using Bitmoji

I have a confession to make. I am addicted to Bitmoji, the comic character creator app. This application lets you personalize you own comic strip or avatar. In my opinion, Bitmojis are a Bitstrip alternative. 

In the early 2010's I used Facebook Bitstrips all the time, especially to create cartoon strips for my online blog. Bitstrips was an avatar generator connected to Facebook. Bitsprips are no longer available, but recently I jumped on the Bitmoji bandwagon and despite the panel scenarios limitations, they are a lot of fun to create comic strips using my avatar.

With Bitmoji, the sky is the limit. I can customize/personalize my avatar appearance according to my moods or current activity, and dress my avatar in fashionable, branded clothing using various scenarios. I am hooked; I am enjoying Bitmojis so much that I can't stop using this app.

¿Quien es el Moron Que Sugirio Prohibir Conducir A Personas de 70 años en Puerto Rico?

Entre ayer y hoy, he leido dos personas en Facebook escribir sobre una ley que han sugerido en Pe-Erre, que prohibiria conducir a personas de 70 años. 

En abril yo cumplire mis 70 primaveras. Ahora que estoy deseando finalmente volver a la isla, y estoy en el proceso de regresar despues de 43 años viviendo en Estados Unidos, ¿como rayos personas de mi edad vamos a movernos de un lado a otro si en Pe-Erre no hay transportacion publica tan eficiente como en Estados Unidos? 

¿Estos morones no saben que hay personas de 70 años que todavia trabajan y necesitan su propia transportacion? ¿Quien es el anormal que quiere proponer esa ley? ¿Y porque el pueblo no se esta mobilizando para protestar esa estupida ley? Solo a un imbecil se le ocurre semejante disparate.

Social Media Detox

I've decided to minimize my online presence in social media. I began by deleting my 14 year old Twitter account earlier last month. Today, my Instagram was temporarily disabled.

It is logical that my FB photography page should be removed next. FB pages aren't easy to manage as they were five years ago. And since I am not into it to sell my images, only to share my stuff, I don't see the point of keeping the page.

Instagram and FB pages are becoming a headache; too many trolls, fake accounts promoting stuff and scamming people. Keyboard warriors roam the internet to fight and argue over everything. They are empowered by the anonymity of the internet to deceive, manipulate and vilify others. Allowing them to say things they might not say face to face.

So to regain my sanity, I am deleting a big chunk of my social media footprint. I am signing off from those accounts for good, and taking a temporary social media detox.

The Rise Of Social Media Experts

Have you noticed how many online social media experts are out there? I think in Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are where you find the most.

Nowadays is difficult to find anyone who is not on social media. In my opinion, the conspiracist theorists and purveyors of misinformation have given social media a bad name. They have made it harder for the true experts to spread correct information.
