There are moments of weakness when my fingers have a mind of its own and I end up at the FB login page. I catch myself at the last minute though... I've been finding myself traipsing the "living in public" line...there's still a lot of stuff I start typing [into Twitter or here on the blog, or otherwise] and stop, scrapping it all, and just letting it sit in my head. I think my mind is still very much self-censoring itself with the TMI filter. I'm sure it'll crumble eventually too. Yea…not being on Facebook is still quite a shock to the system.

Facebook is the worst for that, I guess because they make it more difficult to adjust... But people need to be more proactive about learning how to use the privacy settings. I'm on the liberal end of privacy and tend to share a lot more with people than most people are comfortable with, but I am moving towards a public personality so I don't mind. I kind of want to share things and have random interactions with people I meet online. I love that! You gave up on Facebook? {shock} It always amazes me how few people (marketers included) know how to adjust their privacy settings. people’s accounts are just wide open with personal photographs, personal information and all.

Canadian industry will continue to decline *despite* the CDN reaching parity? Shouldn't that be *because of*? Also, I hear we've gotten really good at hocket -- we might actually win!

I wonder if this is discussed in modelling techniques. Perhaps you should start watching America/Canada's Next Top Model for tips. “Seriously, if we found a way to artificially prevent blinking in models, we would have significantly improved the world of fashion and fashion photography.”

I liked the *old* old logo, before they did the typeface with the weird serifs and made all the lions the same. I do find it all kind of funny, tho. <a href="http://whoyoucallingajesse.com/past/2009/7/22/branding_in_higher_ed_observations/" rel="nofollow">Jesse Rodgers</a> has an interesting perspective on #uwlogogate, having being UW staff for a while and being in a position where he has to represent UW to groovy entrepreneurial types.

But the new one - the impression it makes with me is neon lines without purpose (which I guess makes me slightly more charitable than Jos; in that I think the colouring is vintage 1988 instead of 1978). It feels like the new logo is <i>almost</i> a clean, bold logo for the future; but that they managed to to make it say the opposite by scribbling on it with highlighters.
