Link Dump: Facebook’s IPO, Social Media Tips, and Politics

Google ReaderI use Google Reader to build my own “newspaper,” following the RSS feeds of a veritable mountain of different sites. (Many of the sites I follow fall under the “geek” or “tech” news heading, although I do follow a variety of news sites.) It makes for quite a lot of reading, and it slants pretty heavily in favor of nerdiness. Be that as it may, here’s some of the stories I found most interesting.


Marci Sischo

After watching her parents murdered by a mugger in a back alley, Marci Sischo grew up vowing to become the world's greatest detec -- wait, that's Batman. Theorizing that one could time travel within her own lifetime, Marci Sischo stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished -- no, no. That's Dr. Sam Beckett. Drat. Marci Sischo grew up in northern Michigan, and moved to Oregon in 2009. Yes! She's the Commuter's webmaster, pursuing a journalism degree at LBCC, and in her dwindling spare time, she's co-authoring an urban fantasy novel.
