(Anti) Social-Lists 7/5/09
Happy 4th of July holiday weekend. I prepared this post but otherwise I’ve been celebrating by not using the computer. I even closed my email, which I almost always have open. It was hard at first but now it feels like a relief.
This week I have links about being nice, job fairs, WordPress, plugins and consumption.
- How to be Genuine and Nice in a Web 2.0 World and Why It’s Important – An article about how your online reputation can be damaged by things you say and do and why it’s important to be cautious, exercise restraint and to be kind.
- Seven Observations from my Day at the Job Fair – Recently Dawn volunteered to review resumes at a job fair. She has some interesting observations about the job seekers. It’s also surprising that people don’t even do obvious things like bring a copy of their resume to job fairs.
- Free HTML 5 WordPress Theme – Jeff Starr has released a free minimal theme build with HTML 5. If you are interested in HTML and building WordPress themes it is worth checking out this theme.
- 15 Essential WordPress Plugins for Portfolio Sites – Recommended plugins for a WordPress portfolio site.
- Does Recycling Give Us an Excuse to Over-Consume – Are people more likely to buy products they don’t really need if they are green and recyclable? I think we frequently forget that recycle is the third part of reduce, reuse and recycle.

- Fireworks and a Microwave

You know, those guys wouldn’t have had to go through all that trouble; I could’ve told them it would be a bad idea to microwave fireworks.

Hi Adrenalynn – Really? I was really curious about what the outcome would be ;-)

Glad you’ve been able to get away from the computer.

Hi Jim – It was nice – I am paying for it this morning though. So many emails.

I hear you on getting away from the computer. I did a little of that last week when I was out of town in Santa Barbara and Beverly Hills. I still had the Blackberry, but I wasnt checking it much aside from answering the phone. :)

Hi Carla – I didn’t realize how much I needed a break from it until I stepped away for a couple of days.
