I’ve been catching up on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles via DVR and it saddens me that the Terminator franchise has been reduced to a series devolved to a soap opera revolving around teen angst. **Edit** After getting all the way caught up, I should point out that all the teen angst disappeared with the Riley sub-plot, thank gawd. Moreover, with the developments of the last 2 episodes, hopefully the writers realized that they really got themselves distracted by running 4 subplots in addition to the main throughline. The series works much better when it stays focused on John and Sarah as opposed to introducing tangential elements that take 8-9 episodes to reach any kind of payoff. The result is the anti-climactic effect the closing of those tangents has when they are finally resolved, a la the horribly resolved Derek Reese conflict, which was a major disappointment.

I have a LinkedIn profile, but I ignore it. I have a MySpace profile, but I ignore it. I have a Plaxo profile, and, guess what… I ignore it, too. I have a Facebook page, and, while I don’t quite ignore it, thanks to the latest horrific design I don’t pay all that much attention to it any longer. But it makes no matter. They all point to this site, and they all have some form of my contact info on them. If people want to get in touch with me, they can. The simple fact is that I find social networking increasingly annoying and actually anti-social. At the very least, they instill, to some degree, anti-social behavior, much the same way that the veritably infamous AOL chatrooms of the 90’s did.
One of these days I’ll figure out how to properly work the “publish in the future” option /grumble.
Happy Easter! (should you believe in that sort of thing… otherwise… Happy Sunday!)
