80 year olds on facebook?

Thanks to Wm Rowe

My eight-three year old Aunt recently got DIRECT TV And Internet at her home. She was delighted and wanted me to come over and show her how to work the television and also how to get on Facebook. I was surprised that she knew about Facebook. She said that a lot of her friends had recently created accounts so that they could keep up with their family. I showed her how to use the site and helped her create a profile. Much to my surprise, by the end of her first week, she already had seventy friends! Most of her friends on Facebook were her age. I never thought about her demographic being tech-savvy. She figured out how to upload and share pictures, write on walls, and post articles via-Facebook. She also has a habit of commenting on everything. My Aunt comments on any status update I make or photo I post. She always wants to chat when we are both on Facebook. I usually get on and sign right off, but she has been keeping me busy with activity. I don’t know what I got myself into!

Weekend Box Office Blames Hurricane Irene

This weekend the box office reportedly took a $25 million hit from the east coast storm Irene. While the movies available to see weren't exactly top notch anyways who's to know how much it really took off. Other than "The Help" there wasn't much that was hyped going into the weekend anyways.

The weekend finished about 25% lower than the same weekend last year so it was rough. It was actually only the 2nd lowest weekend of the year, however. I wonder what weekend that was? Probably whatever weekend didn't have a horrible movie about robots blowing things up I'd guess.

Using their free trial conference calls I'm sure The Help cast was excited to see themselves overcome being #2 last week and jumping to #1 this week.
