If you happen to be in Vancouver this coming Tuesday, you should take the opportunity to attend this one-of-a-kind dinner and socialize with the social media set over a memorable meal in a private dining room deep under Blood Alley.

The Social Media Club of Vancouver, in association with Vancouver Food Tour, is throwing a fundraising dinner to raise funds for the post-production of With Glowing Hearts, a documentary on social media, activism, and the Olympics.

The filmmakers and several of the stars will be in attendance. Details on how to register:

$40 includes your meal, tax, tip and a contribution to the charity. Of course, you’re free to donate more if you like, and everyone who donates a Toonie or more is listed as an official Producer of the movie, which surely has got to be worth some bragging rights.
Register at least three days in advance with our sponsor Vancouver Food Tour to ensure that you have a spot; we expect this to sell out completely!
Start time is 7pm, and all participants must be of legal drinking age
Meet at Salt Cellar, 45 Blood Alley in the basement banquet room of Salt.

Be there or be a diagonally congruent rectilinear object!

There are lots of technical hacks and ways to get at your internet properties, be they blogs, websites, or social media pages and profiles; why, there’s an entire master’s program in Bulgaria on hacking: not preventing it, doing it. So your internet security is always at risk, both from amateurs who only want to change your Facebook status to “poopyfacepoopyface” and from experts who have a commercial interest in your data and control of your internet properties of whatever kind.

That said, by far the easiest way to get at someone’s site is to convince them to give you the password. Don’t think it’s easy? Check this elegant, yet evil little trick out:

Facebook Password Trick

That’s not nice; don’t fall for it. But if you do, remember that you can delete your posts on Facebook if you hover your cursor over the right-hand side of your comment, just above the line of typing. But if your friends do this to their friends, GET NEW FRIENDS.
