Nice cans

I was can #1,248. Let me know what your can number is, for a good cause!

Are you hungry right now? If you're reading this at your computer, I'm willing to wager you've also eaten a few meals today. Here's the thing: Some people haven't. Nor do they have the means to do so. 

Allens Veggies launched an awesome campaign (“I Yam What I Yam, Donate a Can”) to help combat hunger. It will run through Halloween, and the goal is to reach 3,000 cans. Pairing with local food banks (Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma), bolstered by the wonders of social media, one can of Popeye Spinach for every new Allens Veggies Facebook fan.

Since you're at your computer already, why not hop on over to Allen's Facebook and “like” it?

Picture this

OKC photographers snap up Instagram.


Features

Malena Lott
Once upon a time, cameras were for the wealthy; and photography, as art, for professionals only. Thanks to smartphones and even smarter apps, photos and art have entered into a covenant for the masses at the altar of Instagram, which Apple named the 2011 App of the Year.

Slurred speech


CFN

Gazette staff
Easter morning came with a jarring jolt of profanity when CNN correspondent Susan Candiotti delivered quite the rotten egg during on-location coverage of the April 6 shooting spree in Tulsa that resulted in three deaths, killings that authorities contend were racially motivated.

Facebook fumble


CFN

Gazette staff
Wes Welker’s wife apparently forgot that social media isn’t the safest place to say mean things about famous people. Anna Burns Welker, whose husband is the Oklahoma City native-turned-New England Patriots wide receiver, recently vented her frustration on her personal Facebook page following the Patriots’ 28-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship.

Disconnect

Log on for drama.


Drama

Rod Lott
Its technology will be dated hopelessly within a few years, but for now, Disconnect stands as an accurate parable on the dangers of the Internet.
