It will be Rambi's ghost reccing Obama, not a Facebook artifact or hack. Obamaniacs are zealots so the extra fanatical energy would enable cut-through from the beyond to the present to determine the future. But ghosts are going to be nothing compared with post-mortem avatars taking over from where the actual person left off. A Turing-quality Rambi avatar could come swooping in to dispute this post. One would not even be aware that a person had died. For example, you can't tell that this isn't me. And I deny that it isn't me. Joking aside, I died last week but software being what it is, it's now easy enough to leave my Turing-me to man the barricades in my absence. Please don't tell anyone else and see if anyone notices.

Voting for Ryan, so by default that means voting for Romney. I like talking to friends and family on Facebook. Somewhat similar to SI, but much more graphic. I am only friends with people I genuinely know and genuinely like. I only have 58 Facebook friends. A couple of them are people I know from SI, some are colleagues, a few I know from high school, some from college, some from law school. My older son friended me, the younger one won't. He doesn't want me to know what he's up to. Also, if you "like" an organization then you get news feeds, which I enjoy. For example, I have a passion for pollinators, so I get regular updates from organizations like the Campaign for Solitary bees, a lot of butterfly organizations, wildflower organizations, etc. Dr. Davis, the Track Your Plaque guru, has a Wheat Belly page, and whenever he posts on his blog, it cross posts to Facebook, and he gets a lot of comments. He also has a Wheat Belly Recipe page that gets a lot of recipes from Wheat Belly fans. Stuff like that.
