A movie about Facebook. I’m being totally serious.

When I first saw headlines on my daily news sites about a Facebook movie I thought ‘Oh some fan created a cheesy video about Facebook.’ I ignored the headlines for a few days until I kept seeming them and then decided that maybe I should check this out.

I was shocked to see that a real movie about Facebook was/is being made. I was even more shocked to see Aaron Sorkin’s name attached to the movie. I’m a fan of Aaron Sorkin’s writing so maybe, just maybe this movie will be good.

I’ve seen the trailer a few times over the weeks since it’s launched and I have to say each time I see it grows on me a little bit more. I’m curious what you all think about the movie.

From TheSocialNetwork-Movie.com:

From director David Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin comes The Social Network, a film that proves you don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies. The film is produced by Scott Rudin, Dana Brunetti, Michael De Luca, and Ceán Chaffin and based on the book “The Accidental Billionaires” by Ben Mezrich.

If someone asked me if I knew CPR I’d have to say no but after watching this video I’d still have to say no. I was too distracted, I guess I need to watch this a few more times.

The Secret Powers of Time

In this video a professor named, Philip Zimbardo talks about the secret powers of time. The lecture is creatively illustrated on a dry erase board as Zimbardo explains the different perspectives of time and how they affect our lives. I’d like to know what you all think about this, more specifically the part where he talks about how the traditional analog class room is boring and not working for the new generation.

“Many of life’s puzzles can be solved by simply understanding our own time perspective . . .”
