Reading: Leaving a Vulgar Comment Online Might Cost You Your Job (via @rww)
A One-Word Comment Cost a School Employee His Job
A vulgar comment was made by a reader of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's website on Friday on an article about the strangest things you've ever eaten. The headline was practically asking for a juvenile response and, thanks to the anonymity of the internet, that's exactly what happened. In the comments section of the article, one user posted a single word response referring to a part of a woman's anatomy. Of course, the site's moderators quickly deleted the comment but it soon reappeared - obviously this juvenile was intent on having their say.
But this time, instead of just deleting the comment in question, the site's director of social media, Kurt Greenbaum, did a little sleuthing too. He found that the commenter's IP address was coming from a local school...and that's where this story starts to get interesting.

a full circle feeling at my microsoft interview yesterday
not a great night sleep but regardless this is an exciting day. running on hope and pure passion.
After a fairly straight forward drive to reading i arrived at microsoft campus around 9:15am - my interview is at 11am. I'm really excited just to get the opportunity to be invited for an interview. really, i just feel that way about it right now. i'm a heavy karma influenced person just lately. in fact that last 8 weeks alone have almost been like the biggest wakeup call i can recall in a very long time. As my audioboo i posted the day before ( here ) will attest too i felt a wave of change come over me recently but building up to yesterday.
I've been on a bit of a mental free fall regarding career, homelife and future - it has been so random that it was hard to see which areas i should have been concentrating on. Working on the conker tweetup for the last four weeks has given me some clarity about how i should be making adjustments to my life and i feel that a lot of these decisions have all dovetailed into the new focused version of me, back to the older me. one that was a bit more relaxed maybe.
I thought the interview went well. I had to present a 'tell a story' - i recorded it ahead of time just in case as well, you can hear that here I know with the right team behind me and the same level of passion we can use these tools not just for business but for social change. i really do hope i get a callback for microsoft but at the same time it was the interview that also set me straight again. Wonderful place thou building five. amazing airy space.
Reading: Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr…Can news orgs be everywhere? (via @lavrusik)
Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr...Can news orgs be everywhere?... This evening there was some buzz about Newsweek's Tumblr, after Nieman Lab tweeted about it. Its design is quite nice and it includes a lot of content that is curated...

I'm at it Again!
So I bought Christless Christianity by Michael Horton for a friend's birthday. Needless to say I couldn't in good conscience give him a book that I either A. Have not read, or B. Am not reading. That being said, I bought myself a copy too--and oh, I'm reading it concurrently with Jerry Bridges' book The Gospel for Real Life. For those of you who follow my Twitter stream, you know this is a blatant violation of my 1 book at a time rule I initiated last week or so. In the interest of transparency, I'm failing that challenge. Now you know. That is all. Now back to the book-which one is the question. 
Commuter reading
I'm on the train home and the people sitting around me are reading:
Woman to my left - Ben Elton, Blind Faith.
Woman to my right - Twilight, Stephanie Meyer.
Man opposite me - Daily Mail
Man a row in front of me - a copy of Psychologies allegedly 'the thinking woman's magazine'. Me - Thomas Pynchon, The Crying of Lot 49.
