Let's talk about spirituality. Online.

I'll admit it: I follow Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office) on Twitter. And, he's fantastic. He's witty, smart, and charming, and I'd like to marry him. (Sidebar: Other celebrities ahem, Ashton Kutcher could take a lesson from Wilson in How to Tweet Effectively.) He talks about his cool kid, Walter, his co-workers, and his life in general. In following Wilson, I learned of the new website that he has launched, SoulPancake, and I was immediately intrigued. SoulPancake claims to be an online community that sparks conversations about spirituality and creativity. With Wilson at the helm, it's sure to be a bumpy ride.

In a lot of ways, I think that humor is really the best angle with which to approach serious topics like spirituality. And, I love that the site is aiming to encourage conversations about such topics that will take place in a forum outside of religious or educational institutions. SoulPancake is a very young site that still seems to have some glitches, but I'll be interested in keeping up with it. And, maybe even getting some answers to life's big questions.

Oh crap. My parents joined Facebook.

My parents are on Facebook. In fact, they might spend more time on the site than I do. I'm okay with it. I feel like I've reached a point in my life where I'm comfortable with my parents seeing my full online presence. And, everyday I make choices about what to post and what not to post (it's truly the question). Honestly, I'm more worried about a potential employer or business contact finding something embarrassing online than what my folks might see. My parents already know me and they know I'm awesome. So, it's the people who don't know me (yet), but who might want to get to know me, who I'd like to get the best impression possible from my online profiles.

And yet I've heard a lot of people talking lately about this whole "my parents are online" fiasco. And yet, what's really funny is what kids are learning about their parents through their online personas. (My mom definitely did the "25 Random Things" Note on Facebook -- and, it was fantastic.) Two smart cookies, Jeanne and Erika, started this hilarious site: Oh Crap. My Parents Joined Facebook. Kids (and I use that term loosely) send in screen caps from Facebook of funny interactions that their parents have had on the site. And, they're posted for all to see, with TMZ-like captions.

Check out the site. What's your favorite entry? Are your parents on Facebook?
