Making Fiction out of Facebook Addiction
Before I begin, I have to admit that I’m a tad bit of a GEEK. Besides spending lots of time at the gym, having extroverted tendencies, and having a natural inclination for anything that makes my heart skip a beat (i.e. skydiving and rock climbing), I’m a bit of NERD that spends hours upon hours (did I say hours?) in front of my laptop. Ok, in these times of Facebook and Twitter, who doesn’t? Well, I majored in Computer Science and wrote programs using Pascal in high school, not to mention Assembly Language in college. I should get TECH “CRED†just for mentioning Pascal/Assembly Language and being in my early thirties. Ok if that does not convince you, I think that the Intel commercial portraying Ajay Bhatt (the co-inventor of Universal Serial Bus or USB) as a Rock Star was brilliant.
I was lucky enough to attend a high school that required its students to have majors. My sister, who is six years older than me, attended the same high school and majored in computer science, so we had a computer in the house since I was ten-years old. I remember getting a book, which contained countless programs written in BASICA. In order to play the games, I had to copy the programs and execute them in the computer. It seemed like an easy typing exercise, but turned out to be a total nightmare. Essentially if one word or character is off the program wouldn’t run. The first application that I attempted to run was a ping pong game. That was an early lesson in debugging code.
Although, that episode mentally scarred me as a child, I continued with Computer Science throughout high school and college. As a hobby, I also did some creative writing when I was younger. Fast forward about 10 years, Computer Science turned into a career and Creative Writing turned into two books (“Ice Cream Melts†and “A Souvenir For My Momâ€).
We are now in 2009 and Social Networking has become an Addiction with Facebook leading the way as the drug of choice. I thought it would be a cool idea to combine fiction and social networking so I recently completed a book called “Facebook Addiction: The Life and Times of Social Networking Addicts.†The book shows parallelisms with chemical addiction and social networking addiction. I did two things to make it mirror reality:
- I made myself an actual character in the book who starts a group called Social Networking Anonymous or S.N.A mimicked from Alcoholics Anonymous or A.A.
- Collaborated with the New York Daily News and used real life articles.
Here is where the Information Technology background helps. We created an interactive blog, which allows everyone to write about their Social Networking/Facebook Addiction stories. Actually, all books that I write have an interactive blog component, which can be found at http://www.IceCreamMelts.com/blogs.  The next step in our “EVIL†plans is to give all Authors the ability to create interactive book-based blogs on our IceCreamMelts.com platform. At the time of this writing I have my pinky in my mouth and my neighbors can hear the echoes of a sinister laugh.

i am at the doritos quest and i am stumped.. hellllp PASCAL lock puzzle?
please help..i am stuck on this one and it is super confusing.i am at the puzzle with the skeleton and the book with the combination lock,there is sqaures and triangles with different numbers in side the triangles with the word pascal written next to it..what do i do? the book has a combination lock and i don't know how to unlock it..did anyone else get farther?
how do i unlock the book?
Alright, inside the square is a diamond and another square in the middle. The numbers represent a letter in the alphabet (A being 1, B being 2, so on). Pascal is the code to get in the book, and the letters are 16, 1, 19, 3, 1, and 12.
Now, to use the code inside the book, you must move the dial around until it looks like the triangle on the wall (i.e. the triangle with 26, 5, and 3 you must move the dial until the right angle is to the left)
Now if you wanted the number three in the above said triangle, use the lower dot on the book triangle. Do that for all letters and push the button and the book should open.
I'm not quite sure how else to explain this.
