Social Media and Social Action

I didn't post yesterday due to a disturbing lack of blog fodder. Then, today, I went on Facebook, and really, don't all posts begin and end with Facebook?

First of all, salz69 of Northwest Indiana geocaching fame had this image on his wall:

Thank you, salz69, for that.

And then, while scrolling down my news feed, I found a CONTEST wherein you can win an Android phone. I'm pretty sure you have to have a facebook account to participate in this contest. Sorry. Social media rules the day. You can find out more about social media here. If you are already hip to the FB, please enjoy my little story, which is an homage to the BCA/Manchester College days. If you are not hip, you need to be, so please read the January 2012 issue of Wired magazine to help you along.

Anyway, back to the contest. It's sponsored by banthephonebook.org. You have to write a comment that explains the last time you used a phone book.

Finally, to round out this themed post, ever since Miss Gokey and I attended Stargazing Seminar #1 (that's right, folks: yes I did just hyperlink my very own blog) at Lake Mead National Recreation Area, I've been following the Globe at Night Campaign on Twitter.

TONIGHT! Is the very last night! During which you can make a report for Globe at Night during 2012.

So, on that note, I will let you go get started facebooking, tweeting, commenting, reporting, or whatever else it is that you may have to do on this lovely 96-degree (in Vegas) afternoon.
