Log Off the Internet Day

Log Off the Internet Day was started by a group of activists and thinkers in 1999 to make the public aware of the impacting is making on real life communities. Log Off the Internet Day is celebrated on the first Saturday after the start of summer in your hemisphere on which you are supposed to stay off the internet. No email, chat, IMs, gameplaying or surfing. A time to go to a movie, see some friends, ride a bike, be with your family.
I totally celebrated Log Off the Internet Day and went for a bike ride.

Bank for International Settlements

(ECONOMICS) Bank for central banks. It takes deposits from central banks and provides financial services, including underwriting bills of exchange. It is based in Basle, Switzerland and was founded in May 1930, for the purpose of facilitating reparations payments by Germany to the Allies.

The BIS also provides a forum for international coordination of monetary policy, conducts financial research, and acts as an agent or trustee for international financial settlements. About 140 central banks and international financial institutions have deposits with the BIS. As of June 2010, currency deposits totaled approximately $303 billion dollars, or about four percent of world foreign exchange reserves.
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) was created by the Dawes/Young Plan for coordinating the transfer of billions of Reichsmarks in reparations from Germany to the Allied powers after WW1. Almost at one, the BIS switched to managing international transactions of gold or hard currency. It also facilitated financial transactions between the Nazi regime and neutral countries during the War.

The BIS provides a very wide variety of specialized services, including underwriting and arbitration in fiduciary disputes.

internet shorthand

Def: the way lazy people type for IMs, texting, email, and other forms of cryptic writing

I just rather call it that because not everyone is 31337
I feel like no one respects the English language anymore, just by using internet shorthand like: omg, wtf, n00b, lol, srsly stfu, ttyl, etc.

Internet Hipster

Meme queens.

Those l33t netizens who find lulzy vids and discard them as "old" WAY before they hit the mainstream.

Can be found on 4Chan, Reddit, the seedy underbelly of teh interwebz...

Wouldn't be caught dead surfing the cheezburger network.
Your friend: "Hey! Check out this sweet video of a cat riding on a turtle. LOL. CUUUUUTE!"

You: "Yeah... I saw that like, 3 weeks ago. And cats are way over."

Your friend to your other friend: "Don't send anything to *your name*, Ever. She's a total Internet hipster and will make you feel like shit."
