There's an imposter on facebook

Really, there are probably thousands. A recent security lapse allowed several strangers to log onto facebook and access private photos and personal information. This has caused the site owners to upgrade their security to prevent future mishaps.

The popular gathering place for over 67 million people, said that they are continuing to make changes to the site's security settings. A computer technician gave the website the heads up after he accessed strangers' pictures even though their security settings were probably high.

This should remind facebook users to use caution when posting information online for others to peruse. You never know who can access your personal documents. Whether it be schoolmates, family members, instructors, and even future employers, young people need to watch the things they post on the internet.

Even when websites promise to keep personal information private, hackers find loopholes....so watch out!

This sh$! is Bananas

Several surprises hit Atlanta this weekend as a number buildings were damaged and people injured in an expected tornado. The southeastern U.S. was and is still on watch for several tornadoes to hit the region for the next couple of days.

In Atlanta, a tornado struck the Omni Hotel, the Georgia Dome, the Georgia World Congress Center, and several other sites that held hundreds of people at the time. The Congress Center looked as if it housed a waterfall after being flooded Friday night.

As citizens and visitors hit the city streets to celebrate St. Patty's day, many were unhappy to see their party come to an halt after the weather took a unexpected turn.

Several cities outside of the metropolitan area and as far south as Savannah, Ga, experienced blackouts for hours at a time. The strong winds and the lightning filled sky had people searching for cover all weekend. At least two people were killed in Georgia this weekend.

Who really would have thought? Atlanta? Mother Nature's wrath has no boundaries, i guess...

Cellular Spending

Sooo I just purchased the BlackJack II...and I love it...there's just this one thing. There is this so called unlimited Internet and text messaging package. And guess how much it is. Fifty big ones. And that doesn't even include the voice package. With a new phone comes new bills, I have seen. And I don't think I've ever paid over $30 for my home internet. But what does a 21-year-old really need with Windows Mobile, Cellular Video & TV, and a bunch of other programs that are too hard to navigate. I guess its all in the name of some very important aspects of life...coolness, convenience, and chicness! The things we do with money.......

Rippin the Runway

Now I know I been on this entertainment kick lately, but I just can't resist. On Wednesday, the season finale of Project Runway airs. The top three designers of the season, Christian, Jillian and Rami will battle it out at New Work Fashion Week for the title of winner.

Personally, my money is on Christian because he knows FIERCE and it shows. "I've seen some fierce bitches up in my life," Christian said in a past episode. Christian does have some stiff competition though in Jillian, a designer and illustrator for Ralph Lauren. While Christian's designs appear to be more fashion forward, Jillian's precision and attention to detail could help her bring home the competition.

Then there's Jerusalem, West Bank born Rami whose dramatic aesthetic has often been criticized by judges, Nina Garcia, Heidi Klum, and Michael Kors. I wouldn't count Rami out either. His experience with vintage and formal design and veteran experiences with runway shows and dressing celebrities makes him a true threat.

This is really the first time, I've been sure but realistic in my take on the competition. For all you fashionistas and designers out there the season is coming to an end. "Watch What Happens" as the people at Bravo would say!

The Return of LC and Gang

If you're anybody...You'll be watching MTV's The Hills pick up its latest season later this month. The REAL (lol) life drama, will pick up where we last saw Lauren Conrad and her peer, turned boss travel to Paris. Now that the pair has returned to L.A., sparks fly as Heidi Montag makes her way back into Lauren's life and into the apartment they once shared. Personally, I can't wait to see the smoking hot Brody back on the small screen but apparently everything has changed with he and LC's relationships as well as with the other existing relationships that are portrayed on the show. What will happen with Audrina and Justin Bobby? Heidi and Spencer? and even Evil Spencer's sister. Click here to see more....

I even hear that Mimi a.k.a Ms. Carey will be performing at MTV's premiere party for the hit show. Hmmm....sounds interesting!
