Click here to see all the other pictures. Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of addressing the members and guests of the Computer Club of Oklahoma City -  It was a great way to start the day. As you can see, the members turned out in force. I'd call that a great Oklahoma welcome. Those in attendance had lots of questions both during the presentation and during the Q&A that started after the morning coffee break.

Facebook Censorship

Image
Facebook STANDARDS apparently aren't the same as mine. They decided to remove one of my posts because it didn't meet their standards. I thought there was nothing wrong about posting a short video of a few pictures of Alice and I. No wonder there are folks in an uproar about Facebook's censorship.

They may also have shared your hometown." Although I was careful, this still resulted in quite a bit of my information being shared.As you can see from this, "Choosing your Friends wisely", is important. ...
