The song tells a story in which Warren G., while looking for some “skirts” (women), is mugged in Long Beach, California. Nate Dogg is trying to find Warren G. at the same time, and when he sees that Warren G. is being mugged at gunpoint, he shoots dead the people mugging him in order to save his life. The two then look for women together, whom they eventually find. They all live happily ever after.

shea sylvia [blog edition]: So yesterday I received a death threat.

Not just a death threat, but a graphic, detailed account of how this person would like to brutally rape and then kill me.

I cried. Then I felt like crawling under my desk and hiding for the rest of the day. Then I became angry. And then sad. And then scared. And then I cried again. And then I…

And the girl who presented her story about her Foursquare experience got a death threat.  How effed up are people?

A Cautionary Tale About Foursquare & Privacy

I’ve been thinking a lot about Foursquare recently and wondering why I don’t check-in much anymore. I’m not sure why.

Mom, don’t read this post.

I work in online marketing and it’s no secret that I actively blog, tweet and check in on Foursquare. It’s not just my profession - it’s fun. Social media is largely responsible for some of my closest friendships. I’ve never felt unsafe participating and generally…

This is a weird cautionary tale indeed, and if anyone is concerned about the same thing happening to them, Foursquare lets you disable the option to display your name and avatar on the main page for the venue you’ve just checked into. Go to your settings and un-check “Show my name in the ‘Who’s here’ list in the application and in my friends’ check-ins sent to twitter.”  Done.

Usually there are refreshing, non-alarmist solutions to these things.  And when there aren’t, there should be.

The “Real New York” is…

  • anywhere where you park your ass and pay NYC income tax.  

Yes, NYC income tax, that wonderful 3%-5% in additional to state and federal taxes that New York City residents are subject to.  Most of the world outside NY has no idea this goes on, but it’s one of those “fun things” you get to do by being a NYer.

As soon as someone stopping taxing my neighborhood with something called “NYC Income Tax”, I’ll consider myself not part of NYC.  You know, like most people don’t think Staten Island is either.
