EMCOMM and Failing to Plan
Immediately after the Boston Marathon bombings, cell service was disabled as a preventive measure. As an emergency communicator, I prepare for this stuff and usually have at least one radio nearby at all times. What’s your communications plan should they shut off your cell phone service? Remember: that means no voice calls, text messages, emails, mobile web, or anything else getting into or out of your mobile phone. Do you have a landline? What if that should fail as well? It probably will because the system will be jammed with people trying to call one another. (Hint: the telephone system is not designed for 100% usage capacity.)
Do you know an amateur radio operator? Do you have an emergency plan? Does it include a rally point (is it your home)? What if that location is unsafe or unreachable? What if your entire neighborhood is unsuitable? Where is your near-distance evacuation destination? What if your entire metropolitan area, state, or region is evacuated? What is your long-distance evacuation destination? Do you have a go bag with supplies for up to 72 hours? Where do you keep it? Does it include your prescription medications? Food? Change(s) of clothing?
On Original Sentiment
Facebook – at least my Facebook feed – is turning into a bunch of advertising for brands and products via people ‘liking’ them, 1+ day old meme posts that were already reposted on Reddit, and cutesy videos. Where’s the original content?
Wait, I don’t care. Aside from the “my birthdays” spam that happens to infiltrate my email somehow, Facebook is all about me. Or rather it’s all about you. This blog is all about me. But for you it’s like going to a library or buying a subscription (remember RSS?). You don’t have to see it unless you want to. Just like I don’t have to see everyone by ignoring Facebook.
Walled gardens and all that. The U.S. Government is less restrictive on free speech than Facebook is.
And where’s the original content? Let me answer my own question. Facebook owns it. No wonder nobody posts anything good there. (Anymore or ever?)
The only thing Facebook is good for is to ask people what their contact info is so I can update my address book. Oh yeah, where is that service already?
In case you didn’t get it, say the first two words of the title fast.
People Bed ≠ Dog Bed
- Hairs embarrass
- Lost that linen-fresh scent
- Make love, not growl
- Last sanctuary obliterated
- Stop climbing on my face
- Morning dog breath
- You already have two of your own, why use mine?
- No matter how much you lick, skin is still cleaner than fur
- Please control your bodily fluids
