Yes, this is morbid, but I just saw it today when I was looking in my settings.  I often check my security settings on my own Facebook to see where I'm logged in.  Today a new section was there, called Legacy Contact.  It's where you can specify who can control your account if something happens to you, (like you're dead.)

Here's another victory in the power of social media to do good.

It wasn't that the carpet was well worn, it was that no matter what I did to clean it even professionally, it never truly looked clean.  It was over ten years old, it was time.  My husband Homie was VERY good at deflecting my pleas for new carpeting until I caught him in a weak moment and he agreed to "go look".

It’s that time of the year, when pop culture websites and critics publish their annual Best Of lists and we heap praise on the best and most beloved movies and TV shows of the year. But what about the average moviegoer and TV-viewer? That’s where Facebook comes in.

While cases of Ebola in the United States can be counted on one hand, there's a palpable fear of the deadly virus around the country. Even though the virus isn't easily transmitted, it is certainly a grim bug that is definitely worth being at least a little worried about. Groups of tasteless jokesters are taking advantage of this fear and using it to stir things up in cities around the country. Re

A quick roundup of sites that were vulnerable to the Heartbleed Internet-security flaw, and what to do about changing your password.

It was eight years ago that Twitter moved onto the social media stage.  To celebrate, the company is inviting users to join its founders for a trip back in time...all the way to their very first tweet.

Amnicon Falls State Park is up against 16 other Wisconsin State Parks with head-to-head competition.  If you've been there, you've already enjoyed all that nature and the state of Wisconsin has to offer.  If you haven't, you now have a destination for the family to check out.  Either way, Amnicon State Park needs your votes!

In November 2011, Snay and the school reached an agreement in which Snay would receive $10,000 in back pay and $80,000 as part of a settlement.
