By Joe Berk<\/h6>\n

Facebook and Meta were slammed in court yesterday, with a mega-million-dollar award going to a plaintiff claiming harm from Fecebook’s intentionally-addictive interface.\u00a0 I can see both sides of that argument, and I’m saying that as a guy who is hopelessly addicted.\u00a0 I can spend hours scrolling mindlessly through all the stupid stuff I see on Facebook (especially, for reasons that would take team a team of psychiatrists to unearth) videos of baby gorillas.<\/p>\n

There’s a Facebook feature showing friends who are currently online, which I never paid much attention to.\u00a0 There’s another feature that allows you to call (through your computer and the Facebook interface) friends who are currently online.\u00a0 You can probably guess where this is going.\u00a0 I saw that Mike Huber was online yesterday morning, and I decided to give the Facebook telephone option a try.<\/p>\n

A few rings later and Mike and I were conversing, clear as a bell, about a variety of topics.\u00a0 Mike is in Colombia for a few more days, and we had a great time talking about that wildly-beautiful country.\u00a0 Oddly enough, Mike ran into Buffalo Bonker down there in Colombia.\u00a0 I first met Mike on one of the CSC<\/a> Baja rides when we were filling our gasolina<\/em> tanks in Catavi\u00f1a.\u00a0 Buffalo was also on that ride 8 years ago.\u00a0 It’s interesting how these motorcycle-based chance encounters can become lifelong friendships.<\/p>\n

Lunch with Mike Huber at Las Casitas in Bell, California. It was as good as it looked!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

That had me thinking about my trips to Colombia.\u00a0 I love the place.\u00a0 I did a lot of blogging while I was there.\u00a0 \u00a0If you don’t see any friends you can call on Facebook, if you’re tired of listening to warped news shows pretending to be objective, or if you just want to see a bunch of cool photos and a few videos of my Colombian adventures, today is your lucky day…<\/p>\n
