Be Unreasonable Aydin Mirzaee's Take on the World

I convinced myself maybe a year or so ago that Facebook was getting old (it really is… even my grandma is on Facebook). So… naturally, my use of the website has dwindled quite significantly. Every now and then, though, when I do log in, I see something that catches my attention. Today, I found out [...]

Facebook just announced that it will be adding an inbox search. This is similar to what all other email systems currently have (i.e. gmail, hotmail, yahoo)… I know I’ve really been wanting this for a long time and so I’m glad they’re adding it.

Everyone knows I love http://www.MeeMix.com. It is an absolutely amazing tool. You basically enter one artist/song you like, and it will continue to play songs that you like all day long. It works in Canada (unlike Pandora), which is awesome.

So, what did I get?
$30/month Calling Plan:

So, the other day, my dad sends me a text message saying that he got an iPhone… wtf?
a) text message?
b) iPhone?
Alright, so, what’s wrong with this picture? I don’t even have an iPhone -not available in Canada &  Telus [CDMA] has me locked in for 3 years- and now my dad [living in New York] [...]

My birthday (Feb 2nd – Groundhogs day!) just passed… what was special about this birthday was Facebook…
I got something around 30 Happy Birthday wishes from (yes, yes, I know that’s not even a significant number on Facebook these days…) a list of ~480 friends (in other words, 6.25% of my listed Facebook friends)… interesting ratio… [...]
