It’s Only A Game… Life Moves On. It’s not work getting upset over.

I hate it when people overreact when their team loses a game. Hate it. In my opinion, the videos of kids getting upset on YouTube aren’t helping. Getting upset over a professional game is not worth it. Nothing good comes out of being upset over a loss from your favorite team. A loss by your team is not going to kill you. It is not life or death. Life moves on. Remember that.

Pay Attention in Work Zones!!!

Please, pay attention in work zones!!! That applies to everyone! If there is a “Work Zone Speed Limit 55″, don’t go 70+! If the sign says “Right Lane Closed Ahead” don’t stay in the right lane until the last second! There have been way too many accidents this year in the major work zones in NE Wisconsin. Pay attention out there.

Welcome to the new MikeJSteele.com

I have decided to combine my sites here at MikeJSteele.com. All the old content from whattheanvil.net is still here, so don’t worry. Please update your bookmarks.

Also, I will no longer be making NFL picks. It does not fit with the new site.

Protecting Yourself on Social Media

As social media becomes more and more integrated into everyday life, there are steps that should be taken to prevent the hacking of your accounts and prevent rogue applications from posting unwanted updates.

To Check-In or not to Check-In, that is the question. And this is my answer.

location-services

Do you want people to know your exact location?


With the growing popularity of location check-in servies, this question comes up – “Do you really want people to know where you are?”

I do not think that it is a really good idea to be sharing your exact location.

These servies often use your cell phone’s GPS to find your location (or if that does not work, they triangulate your location using cell phone towers). Then you “check-in” and often times, this check-in is shared across the Internet to social networking services. Most of these posts give the name of the location you are at and are geotagged with the exact location you are it.

However, this public sharing of your exact location is, in my opinion, not a good thing. This brings up safety and security concerns. What if someone you don’t to see sees where you are and they find you? What if a criminal sees it and decided to damage your property? I don’t think anyone would want either of those scenarios.

I understand that there may be perks to checking in at some places, but the public knowledge of your exact location is not that good of an idea.
