a note on web tracking.
so, unlike many people I know (read: my mother), I am honestly not concerned/weird-ed out by web tracking. for the most part, I feel like it's just part of the future. you can't really escape it, and in general it's helpful.
when I was working this summer, I had to a lot of research on my computer, and obviously I was logged into my google account. thus, google knew everything I searched and targeted the advertising i saw. not really a big deal because, as I said, my searches were work-related, not things I actually wanted to buy.
so here's my beef (not really beef). I've spent some quality time on Zappos lately, just browsing around at the fabulous shoes I can buy myself when I make $500,000 straight out of college. right. clearly google been tracking the fact that I have been going to Zappos, but now my reader is recommending GREAT shoes at the end of almost every blog post I read. especially the design posts. so not only does the "google man" know where I spend my web time, but it actually knows my style.
interwebz, you're really making it difficult for me to avoid credit card debt.
in the best way.
