How Much Does Your Name Matter? The Quantitative and Qualitative Research

August 20, 2019August 18, 2019Digital Citizen Leave a comment

One of the stories Freakonomics is best known for is their research into whether your name has any positive or negative impact on your economic destiny, particularly if you had a rare name, or name associated with cultures discriminated against widely. The study was focused on African-Americans, as heard in the podcast below from some time back.

Data, though, doesn’t always tell the full story. In fact, it doesn’t tell anybody’s story, just a group’s outcomes. Freakonomics recently followed up this story with one where Dr. Marijuana Pepsi Vandyck successfully defended a PhD about what it’s like for African-Americans with almost unique names to go through life, to get the personal stories of real people and see if their names really mattered in their lives. Have a listen to hear how the stories differ from the data, even if they may end up in the same outcome, and why the how makes a huge difference!

Switching my Inner Critic Voice from Dr Phil to Simon Cowell

December 30, 2016December 30, 2016Digital Citizen Leave a comment

I am my biggest critic. I am also my biggest supporter. How I think through life, though, is not solo, like a soliloquy or contemplative thought. Rather, it is conversational, with soliloquy like speeches. It’s technically a soliloquy since it’s myself to whom I am speaking, though, more technically, it’s some alter ego to whom I am speaking that will engage in conversation with me. You figure it out what it actually is because I don’t particularly care. 🙂

February 28, 2011June 23, 2011Digital Citizen Leave a comment

In late January, I proposed a Facebook meme to share a love song a day for February that contains Valentine’s Day.

Here were the first, second and third sets of seven songs I had shared.

Below is the fourth and final set of seven great love songs I shared, with some short commentary for each. Actually, for the Februaries with 29 days, I’ve included a bonus song.

Over 250 Cartoon Pictures for Facebook Profile Pics Campaign Against Child Abuse

Until December 6th, there is a global campaign on Facebook where people replace their profile pictures with their favourite cartoon character/s, then encourage their friends to do the same. Now this campaign I like! Too bad it’s way too short but it’s gone viral globally after just a day’s notice!

I’ve got over 250 cartoon pictures made for Facebook profile pics at the bottom, arranged in alphabetical order with names, which include some modern and some old cartoons.

Twilight and Anti-Twilight Facebook Picture Tagging Meme

March 17, 2009March 19, 2011Digital Citizen 33 Comments

Please click here for other Twilight and New Moon products, graphics and posts on this site, including:

Backgrounds for iPhones, Blackberries and other handhelds
Facebook tagging memes
Photo sized cards (print like regular 6″ x 4″ photo)
Polls (related to Twilight Saga or their actors and actresses)
Posters (8″ x 12″ up to 20″ x 24″, most also printable as 6″ x 4″ photos)
Wallpapers for monitors of many sizes

My Twilight Facebook picture tagging meme has proven quite popular, widely stolen for reposting all over the Net, stripped of its credits and plastered with advertisements for the thieves. It’s made a lot of Twilight fans happy, I’m sure, but it’s caused a lot of people pain as well… seeing how strong the anti-Twilight movement is out there. So I decided to restore the balance by creating an anti-Twilight Facebook picture tagging meme.

You can use this in several ways. You can tag your friends who are anti-Twilight fans. What might be funner is to let them tag themselves on the icon of their choice. I don’t know if there’s a maximum you can tag per picture, but if you hit a limit, can you tell me?

I don’t recommend tagging friends who are Twilight fans. It’s not nice and they can untag themselves anyway… although I left a space for the secret Twilight lover, or one who wants to subject themselves to the ridicule, just for the heck of it, but let them tag themselves, eh? Have your fun, but not at the expense of others, K?

Here’s how to get this graphic for your Facebook fun:

Click on the picture at the bottom to get it at full size.
Right click on that picture and save to your computer.
Upload it to your Facebook profile.
Tag your friends!

from the original post

Twilight fans, you can thank a commenter named Ashley for this one. About a week ago, she urged me to make a Twilight Facebook picture tagging meme in a comment. I had to do research but thank goodness for Wikipedia to detail the characters for me. I hope you enjoy it!

Obviously, those anti-Twilight types are going to hate me for this, but hey, what can I say?

BITE ME?

That would seem “appropriate”. 😉
