We have entered an era where broadcasting yourself is the new norm. Social networking sites like Facebook & Twitter enable us to share our information with family and frieds which is great. But this also presents some privacy challenges that are a hot topic of discussion these days.

Some people might argue that privacy is not as big of a concern as it's made out to be. Just look at the recent FB decision to share user information with search engines. FB is one of the most popular sites on the planet with 500 million users and growing. Even a small percentage is a lot of private information.

It's true that people are social animals and want to share their information with closed ones. But many people also blindly trust these websites to not misuse their personal information. And that is an important question: can websites that have access to a lot of personal information be trusted? How much control do individuals have over their own information that can be instantly transmitted to 3rd parties around the world for reasons they are completely unaware of.

It seems like there isn't going to be much privacy for consumers in the digital age unless we demand it from organizations (similar to the FB user backlash). Websites should benefit from their users but not at the expense of their privacy.

We all know how important team synergy is. Be it a sports team or a corporate one, great things can be achieved by people working together. When people click the impossible becomes possible. People can discuss and debate by setting aside egos. The distinction between work and fun is blurred. Being honest is not considered being too direct. Knowing a team member is more than knowing their name and what feature they are working on. A theme based list exists only known to the team members. Others envy the team. One person leaving the team can have a drastic impact.

In my career I’ve been blessed to have worked with a lot of good folks in awesome teams. It’s important for me (and I’m sure many others) that I look forward to going to work everyday. That includes challenging work and fun people. Having the right mix of people is like having a very delicate balance. You have to be part of one to feel it.

My life changed for good the day I became a dad. In the past 8 months I've learned the joys of fatherhood and acquired a new level of appreciation for my old folks (or any parent for that matter). While kids are the cutest things on the planet, for first timers it can be overwhelming sometimes. As one of my ex-coworkers told me once, its not about you anymore - its about them.

And then one day you watch Surviving Twins & Sextuplets and your perception of being overwhelmed changes. ST&S is the story of a couple blessed with twins and then sextuplets (something that wasn't exactly what they were planning on). While having 8 or more kids is nothing new, having sextuplets and being able to watch the parent's experiences is both interesting and educational. Changing 50+ diapers everyday says it all. ST&S is a must watch for new and expecting parents. If they can do it so can you.
