Friday Distractions -- Random Links & Recipes Bookmarked

Ready for the weekend? I always am... To help you pass your Friday here are the highlights of what distracted me this week online, what I bookmarked that I hope to one day eat and a picture.

Facebook is Lying but Nobody is Caring wasn't surprising but still made me sigh. (via Vika) If you want to block third-party social media sites from tracking you and use Firefox, consider trying Share Me Not.

On a related note, Alexis Madrigal writes What You Shouldn't Post on Your Facebook Page If You Want a Job at The Atlantic. I try to be conscious of what I put out there, but always appreciate a reminder. (via Courtney...so glad she and her buzz are back!)

Are You Living An Active or Passive Life? "...[feeling powerful sensations] is not optional. We crave and need them to function well, so the path of least resistance and most abundance will also be the path most traveled. I think we’re just too far removed from real experience, from having to engage with the world." 

Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address on YouTube (via Amber). May he rest in peace.
