My twins just turned 10 yesterday. But they were born as part of a triplet pregnancy... Life is just brutal, and I don't know if there is any solace in it being so brutal to so many other people. But I hope you're ok.

Social media existed before the iPhone/android. I remember needing to be at home on my computer to check myspace, xanga, and even thefacebook. Not sure how I feel about this article (it's interesting at least) but the existence of phones/apps does coincide with a lot of changes to our relationship with social media and a lot of changes to social media itself.

Perhaps without smartphones in everyone's pocket we would use social media much differently and that industry would have grown differently....

If it makes you feel better.... On February 29, 2008 I was working on a system as a government contractor. Part of it was outsourced to a sub-contractor who decided to write their own date/time library because how hard could that be (which I only learned about later)? For some reason NOTHING would work right that day. Took me longer than I'd care to admit of staring at the logs to realize that some started with March 1 2008....

edit: also happy birthday!

One could argue that the problem CLEAR solves for regular consumers is a problem manufactured by those administering it. Depends on how one feels about the TSA…
