It’s only been a few days, but I’m already deeply hooked on 4sq&7yearsago. Sign up and enjoy blasts from the pasts!
UPDATE: 4sq&7yearsago is now Timehop and also includes Twitter, Facebook and Instagram in addition to foursquare: http://timehop.com/signup.
This is a bit of a selfish way to leave bread crumbs, but also keep in mind that what we post can be found for who knows how many years.

Nothing against Rovio or Angry Birds, I just mean games in general. I approximately spend 400 hours a year on a train. Every day to and from work I see someone playing poker on their BlackBerry, Cut the Rope, or whatever the latest hot game is. Me? Every day I’m watching Ted Talks or reading the TechDygest app, my Twitter feed, my Kindle books, Flipboard headlines, or whatever else I can get to cache before I leave my house/office. Compare their 400 hours of consumption vs. mine. You are what you eat?
If you’re playing games in bed every night, STOP. I’m very guilty of doing this for a few weeks with Angry Birds last year. I felt so behind not only in my industry, but with my family life as well. If you are, then you probably haven’t stumbled to this no man’s land section of the internet.
To be fair, I do try all the extremely popular games out for the sake of conversation and knowing what the hotness is. And games do stretch the imagination and work the mind. Truth is that I love them, but I spent way too much time as a kid mastering Nintendo games instead of reading.
Those that have kids will not delete Angry Birds for obvious reasons…so they can watch football or Boardwalk Empire.
