Sonnets from Suburbia: Algorithms
Lady Penelope doth ponder the effect of algorithms on friendships as only Lady Penelope can. And don’t forget to pick up her brilliant newly released book, “Sonnets from Suburbia: More Candles Than Cake”.
Algorithms
While algorithms keep us far apart,
or so that’s the excuse you tend to use,
take comfort that I know what’s in your heart
and am convinced that you would not abuse;
Abuse me with your absence, treatment cold,
ignoring please for contact from your friend.
You are so very busy, so I’m told,
or p’rhaps you’ve gone completely round the bend.
I then made a mistake and checked your page,
the one where all your fans, not friends can visit,
and so discovered you were all the rage
on tour in Paris or Kabul, which is it?
Not sure why it’s been ions since we spoke.
Not Facebook’s fault our algorithm broke.
The tomato behind The Three Tomatoes.
Cheryl Benton, aka the “head tomato” is founder and publisher of The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren’t kids”. Having lived and worked for many years in New York City, the land of size zero twenty-somethings, she was truly starting to feel like an invisible woman. She created The Three Tomatoes just for the fun of it as the antidote for invisibility and sent it to 60 friends. Today she has thousands of friends and is chief cheerleader for smart, savvy women who want to live their lives fully at every age and every stage. She is the author of the novel, "Can You See Us Now?" and co-author of a humorous books of quips, "Martini Wisdom." Because she's lived a long time, her full bio won't fit here.
