Side effect from a lecture about Online Social Networks

Went to hear Fred Stutzman speak at USF about online social networks. He mentioned that "the rules" regarding your privacy and your content are pretty much up to the service provider. Your sense of personal space on each community is pretty arbitrary.
It crossed my mind that all of the blog diary entries I have on MySpace could disappear instantly. I've stopped keeping paper notes and have placed all trust for my memories in MySpace. When you say it out loud, it seems obvious that this is a bad idea.
Leo Laporte used to tell callers to always have a backup for their data and always store it in another physical location. So here it is.

The Geography of Bliss: One Grump’s Search for the Happiest Places in the World
By Eric Weiner
Release date: 03 January, 2008


Sunday, December 23, 2007 90
DVDs part three:
Aeon Flux – okay (...at 2x viewing speed)
Andy Kaufman: From Hollywood – the bizarre original artifacts
Anniversary Party – Dogme that doesn't irritate; plot unfolds and emotion constricts.
Band of Outsiders – more entertaining than some of the better-known examples
Best Boy – good early PBS-style labor of love documentary
Birdman of Alcatraz – has really aged, but still of local interest
Bituminous Coal Queens of Penn. – Q: Small hometown? A: I'd met two people in this movie.
Blacula - Klassic
Blow Out – so meticulous, yet so terrible.
Blow Up – I don't love it because detached people are hard to be engaged with.
Bob le Flambeur – stylish and fun, better than Pepe le Moko
Bowie: Reality – confidence is attractive
Bubble – nice experiment, but location was too close to home
Bullitt – local interest, not actually McQueen's best.
Capote – a character that you will change opinions about as you keep watching
Character- interesting story in a good looking and unfamiliar location
Cobra Verde – little slow, but great location and Klaus goes off
Comic Book Confidential – recommended doc
Dark Passage – good noir, local interest,
Devo: Live Japan – don't trust me, fanboys don't judge critically
Diary of a Chambermaid – film has some sort of cloaking device, where I can't recall this at all.
Dirty Harry – I have the same calendar in my 2007 SF govt office as the one in this 1973 SF movie.
Double Indemnity – classic, even if slow
Ed Wood – done well and lovingly, lifts it from niche appeal
Elevator to the Gallows – really well done late 60s film. Not sloppy like Band of Outsiders.
Eyes of Laura Mars – they say big studio filmmaking died in the 1970s. Ever wonder why?
Fall Guy – fresh-scented Japanese comedy gets rid of stale Kurasawa
Fela: Music is the Weapon – Good. I wish it was definitive, but there's not a lot to choose from.
Fellini Satyricon – I gave it half a chance. I was robbed.
Ferlinghetti – local interest. Loved the location stuff at the beach shack.
Fitzcarraldo – knowing the backstory make watching it rewarding.
Forbidden Games- meant to be psychologically terrifying...it just isn't.
Freaks – seemed more nuanced than when I watched it at 18. just slightly.
Genghis Blues – before Planet Earth, this was the most I've ever seen of Mongolia.
Girl w/ Pearl Earring – very pretty. I've watched this again since then.
Gleaners and I – warm look at a subculture, plus a more honest follow-up next year.
Gosford Park – "good Altman", made better with captions (and after watching bad Altman).
Horrible Wonderful Life of Leni Riefenstahl – fascinating and love it when the 4th wall breaks.
In the Realm of the Unreal – unique story uses well-crafted film blended with unique animation
Inheritance – a pleasingly unhappy film.
Isle of Wight – more compelling than the Woodstock movie.
Jules & Jim – ugh. Whatever.
Kill Your Idols – messy, but a nice introduction to this scene.
KQED: The Mission – simple news-style production, with some info I had never heard.
L'Avventura – good-looking and the plot is ethereal
Last Life in the Universe- fascinating location, un-fascinating people.
Laura- first rate plot with second rate filmmaking.
Le Cercle Rouge – had to resort to 2X half way through.
Lebowski – my annual viewing
Lone Wolf and Cub – You know how people say Tarentino is a rip-off artist? Watch this.
Look Back In Anger – pretty good old collection of scenes of actors , acting. Oh, the pathos.
Lost Boys of Sudan – well-done PBS doc, carried by characters.
Love Serenade - oh, those quirky Aussies. They're so quirky.
Lovely & Amazing – what a great title. Better than the movie.
Maltese Falcon – overrated? Yep. (Still worthy of pulling sound bites from.)
Map of the Human Heart – reminds me of how people used to say "film takes you on a journey."
MC5: Kick Out the Jams – they come off as a good regional college band.
Metropolitan – doesn't seem as groundbreaking these days.
Morgan – charming for one moment in 1966 Britain. That moment has passed.
Mysterious Object at Noon – like most poetry readings, it is both illuminated and muddled.
Neil Young Heart of Gold – Neil has finally mellowed into a baby boomer. C'est la vie.
Night and Fog- speechless film makes its point, and early in the curve.
Night of the Iguana – whoa. Accidentally camp when you watch it now.
On the Beach – boring, except for the local angle.
Ossessione – not necessary viewing. Go with Umberto D.
Guns Germs & Steel – an obviously breezy compacting of the book. Perfect for me,
Pi – this movie really gets under your skin.
Planet of the Apes (68) – i cant really explain why this is so awesome.
Poison – I get your technique. I just don't like it.
Purple Noon – only if you really loved Mr. Ripley.
Quai des Orfevres – great location, like Bob le Flambeur
Quartet – i fond these unlikable characters to be unlikeable.
Rainbow Man- John 3:16 – If you can just barely remember the 70s, you'll like this.
Ramones Raw – as more great DVDs come out, their non-success story seems more criminal.
Ran – honestly, this is a "2X with subtitles" film.
Return of Living Dead – film not as awesome as when I was 19. neither am I, though.
Rize – all technique, but its a cool technique.
San Francisco – OK, lets sing it, again! OK, lets sing it, again! OK, lets sing it, again!
Sideways- way too whiney. That's not a "wine" pun, it really is too whiney.
Sonny & Cher v.1 – i cant pick just ONE snotty comment for this!
Step Into Liquid – beauteous even if you don't love surfing.
Strong Bad Emails v.2 – it burn-inated my mind with its awesomeness.
Sunset Boulevard – hoo-ray for hollywood.
Sunshine – some things are too epic for their own good.
Suspicion – it has its moments. and then it doesn't.
Tales of the City – I guess you had to be there. Here.
Team America: World Police – sometimes less is more. This is one of those times.
The 39 Steps – wish Hitchcock had access to better tools back then.
The Bicycle Thief – pretty raw-looking scenery of post-war Iraq. I mean, Italy.
The Big Knife – B level noir, except Jack Palance.
The Birds – hey, I think those birds are fake!
The Corporation – very dense if you include the extras dvd.
The French Connection – the tension makes this hold up.
The Freshest Kids – old school PBS film doc about old skool b-boys
The Hunger – still pretty cool/stylish if you're into this stuff.
The Long Good Friday- very similar to Lock, Stock and newer caper films.
The Lost Weekend – reach for the top shelf entertainment.
The Misfits – some iconic images. Good title sequence.
The Old Spaghetti Factory – could have been told in 15 minutes. And used a better mic.
The Saragossa Manuscript – almost inscrutable. You'll need wikipedia nearby.
The Tin Drum – kreepy. Long and key-reepy.
The Tunnel – cool modern German caper film.
The World of George Pal – worth the education. Bu the John Henry character ... uh oh.
Transamerica – low budget, character-driven. Success.
Umberto D – even more wretched than The Bicycle Thief.
Umbrellas of Cherbourg – I love this movie. No joke.
Un Chien Andalou – well, you need to check it off your list if you're going to talk film.
Vertigo – stylish, well-composed. Little bit cheesey, you must admit.
Viridiana – doesn't seem so blasphlemous or too obscene these days.
War of Worlds – passable, I guess. So that's not saying much, is it?
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? - wow. Nails on a chalkboard made fun.
Young Frankenstein – just as useful as Lebowski for quote-mining.
Z Channel – excellent color matching, which is important for a clip film, nerds.

DVD reviews pt. 2
A Certain Kind of Death – cool doc, morbid but not offensive
Alcatraz: Lonely Island – kind of thing I'll be producing in 3 years?
All the President's Men – classic 70s and not too dated
Andrei Rublev – this film defeated me. I couldn't hang.
Art School Confidential – funny! for 10 minutes!!
Awesome... I Shot That! - fun, and a cool experiment in democratized media
Battlestar Galactica – best Sci-Fi drama of the decade?
Blind Spot – compelling storytelling overcomes low production values
Borat – most viscerally hilarious movie since Jackass I.
Born in Flames – not essential but OK for No Wave film students
Bottle Rocket – revisiting several years later... and still not charming to me
Burden of Dreams – rougher companion to Hearts of Darkness. Herzog is a hoot.
Casino Royale – surprisingly, a really good film. And I don't ever like Bond films.
Chuck Close – filled in my understanding, after seeing the SF MOMA exhibit
Corpse Bride – another Tim Burton movie-world. Self-explanatory.
Crash – OK, I guess... my socks were not rocked.
Curb Your Enthusiasm – great cruel comedy
Descent – ugh.
Dr. Who – man, I love this stupid show. And now it isn't embarrassing to say that.
Enron: Smartest Guys in the Room – for me, an easy to digest explanation
Extras – hits & misses, based on the guest. Winslet = hilario. Bowie = priceless.
Fallen Idol – maybe Brit studios were just more adventurous in the 50s and 60s?
Fast Food Nation – treatment just didn't work. Good idea as script work-around, though.
Grey Gardens – cult classic, done in a forgotten style of doc-making
Happiness – I do not like Solendz. This has confirmed it for all time.
Howl's Moving Castle – I like looking at animated steam-punk worlds.
Inconvenient Truth – a Steve Jobs keynote and a corporate doc, working together.
Indiscreet – maybe you fast forward and look a set design; maybe you never bother.
It Happened One Night – one of the top Case Studies for screwball comedy
It's All Gone Pete Tong – Great fun, until the fun stops. I guess that was the point.
Jackass II – well, it weren't no Jackass I, but it was a-ight
Killing of Sister George – whoa... you have got to see this one. Your eyes might bug.
Kiss of Death – 2nd echelon Noir, for really big fans.
La Strada – What goes with popcorn? A marathon of abuse. Actually this IS a classic.
Lady in the Water – magical if I were, like, kind of dippy. like the characters.
Lemony Snicket – pretty sets, and pretty DVD menus too.
Little Miss Sunshine – liked it, but getting tired of Tennenbaum/Magnolia stories.
Manon of the Spring – slow... nice payoff finally.
March of the Penguins – great shooting, obviously, but also emotion. wow.
My Best Fiend – Klaus equals Awesome.
Palindromes –no, really- I do not like Solendz.
Petulia - junk
Riding Giants – good pictures and good storytelling lift it from niche appeal.
River's Edge – the 80s were depressing.
Running with Scissors – and apparently so were the 70s.
Science of Sleep – I love that Gondry is always playful, and differently playful.
Secret Honor – probably just for Altman fanatics. (Not as bad as Tanner, however!)
Secret of Nikola Tesla – bad video, bad effects, bad... everything. Do not want!
Sonic Outlaws – I really like a dose of Negativland every year or so.
Stranger than Fiction – cute and....Meh. It was alright.
Strangers w/ Candy – not as brutal as TV series, but still a few gut punches.
Tarnation – a fascinating movie for many back-story reasons.
Taste of Cherry – the second movie I've seen that makes Tehran look interesting and modern.
Tell me do you Miss Me? - Yes. yes, I do miss Luna quite a bit.
Tenacious D. - your 15 minutes are just barely holding at 13:45.
Thank You for Smoking – love the opening graphics and cutting.
That Girl – was better when you were about seven years old. Maybe not even then.
the 70s Dimension – Far out, man. (& ripe for boostin' ideas)
the American Astronaut – cheap, interesting project to check out. Good soundtrack.
the Aviator – I just needed to confirm that it was crap. And it was!
the Best of Youth – much better at 2X with captions. Great locations.
The Children's Hour – What, you never heard of it? That's probably okay.
the Closing of Winterland – KQED used to be really cool.
The Eye – really spooky (not gross-out) Japanese horror
the Future of Food – quickly introduces many short issues, and keeps moving
The Island – I liked Logan's Run, so I liked this. I'm a prole.ß
The Lower Depths – depressing movies depress me. Both versions.
the Magic Flute – a special children's DVD for my developing opera mind
The Meaning of Life – not as good as remembered, still some classic bits
The Naked Kiss – early indie lo-budget trash. Probably could have inspired John Waters.
The Night Porter – Loved "Last Tango in Paris"? Nazi-themed S&M your thing? Here you go!
The Saint – this cool original was eclipsed by cooler imitators- Bond, Avengers, etc.
The Servant – takes a while to gently unfold and reveal its subtle inner "dud"ness.
the Thin Blue Line – seems slow in retrospect, but important in doc film development.
Theremin – really enjoyed. rewatched this story two more times.
This Film Is Not Yet Rated – interesting topic, premise, execution. Very cool.
Thomas Crown Affair (1968) – indie experiments used to be studio-acceptable. Wha' happened?
Thumbsucker – didn't charm me so much.
Thunderbirds v.1 – cool, for about 45 fewer minutes than you enjoyed "Team America"
Touch of Evil – best with FFWD. Stop and watch those crane shots, though.
Transgeneration – what Little Miss Sunshine and others TRY to be.
Treasure of the Sierra Madre – if you're to quote movies, maybe you should watch them.
TRON – I watched this twice. And the extras. Touch of Geek.
Wait Until Dark – Better than "Bug". Would like to see it onstage sometime.
Wall Drug – junk. But I salute the guy getting paid to crank out these turkey sausages.
Walt Disney: on the Front Lines – more like cultural research than entertainment
WattStax – 3 times better than Woodstack. It's nation time!
What Have I done to Deserve this? - it's a Pedro. ßAnother self-expanatory entry.
What the bleep do we Know? - new age fructose, but nice mash-up of narrative devices
Wings of Desire – gets better with age... and after using the commentary track for help.
Yes – No.

DVDs Reviews (Pt. One)
49 Up – the best UP yet.
A (Aum) – intimate access to a specific foreign culture
American Hardcore – great fun
Au Revoir les Enfants – slow, but amazing that he had the chance to make it.
Babel – films where people are powerless to change things are so 2003.
Below – AKA "Jerked Around For 120 Minutes"
Bobby – you are neither Jean Renoir nor Robert Altman
Breaking and Entering - irritating
Brokeback Mountain – a real man's man kind of a movie
Coffee and Cigarettes - not one of his "legacy" films
Constant Gardener – alrighty but not engrossing
Das Rheingold – good first hour, fell asleep.
Factotum – I've seen the real guy, so this is not quite believable.
Fearless Freaks – interesting, entertaining, insightful
For Your Consideration – OK, but format starting to get old.
Forbidden Planet – pretty, genre-defining, boring.
Good Shepherd – pretty good actually
Gunga Din – white dudes playing native- whoa.
He Died with a Felafel in His Hand – I don't quite get rough Australian sensibilities.
Invisible Boy – cash-in crap, 1950s style.
Iron Maiden: Number of the Beast – inessential, but inherently awesome
Koyaanisqatsi – respect to the birth of a mini-genre
KQED Spark – some gold, some silver, lots of lead here though.
La Boheme – an early 1990s staging. I understood the story better this time.
Munich – couldn't forget I was watching fiction
Never on Sunday – from the saucy 60s when prostitution was cool and fun!
Nosferatu- Classic? Sure, but Entertaining? ...hmmm?
Notes on a Scandal – irritatingly British.
Orpheus in the Underworld – liked this (and the song stuck in my head all day).
Planet Earth 1-6 – investing time, talent, and money produces excellence.
Ravenous – this was a strange and interesting bird
Rest Stop – Dumb vs Budget-conscious. Dumb wins by TKO.
Rigoletto – disc was scratched.
Sonic Youth 92-02 – some good stuff, but music is for listening to.
Susperia – crap... yet well-photographed crap.
The Day the Earth Stood Still – classic and subtle
The Fall of the I Hotel – real SF history lesson.
The Omen 2006 – better than expected (...but watch the original)
the Puppet Masters – well... at least now I know about Iowa!
The Queen – good, and square with the PBS doc on the queen.
The Thing (1958) – classic, but I liked the remake more
Thrill Kill Kult Kollection – 1993 has come and gone...
Veronica Guerin – OK, but I am tired of "journalist as hero"
Waging a Living – problems... but no solutions?
Wal Mart- the High Cost of the Low Price – everything you already knew- nicely summarized.
We Jam Econo – nice mix of story and entertainment
What Dreams May Come - I still love these design schemes.
Who Killed the Electric Car? - information and a message, without a bludgeon.
