Offending the gods of Facebook
I am currently locked out of my Facebook account. The error message I get reads: Your account is currently unavailable due to a site issue. We expect this to be resolved shortly. Please try again in a few minutes.
I have tried again.
I have failed.
And I was going to say something snarky about my offending the Facebook gods by trying to use an application that blocks my use of Facebook (Anti-Social)-then I realized, by locking me out, Facebook has essentially silenced me. I could go to Google+ where a handful of people might hear me (and I would have to figure out how to use it) or I could post on LIveJournal (here we are), but most of my friends are not watching either spot.
What I’m experiencing is, I think, a technological death. It is a Fatal Error amplified by a digital silence. And, I may even, at this very moment, be undergoing a resurrection, a reboot back into electronic life, and by definition it seems, ephemeral reality.
But, then again, what part about life and reality are not ephemeral? Does that make us mere liminal ephemera?
Interesting.
