Love this quote. It seems as though with social networking becoming more mainstream and integrated with corporate companies, everything is a lot more transparent and is forcing people to have more integrity. Amazing how technology can keep people honest.

I thought I was commenting on the Mother’s cookies post. Sorry! This is a great post as well.

I’ve got a case of the Iced Circus Animal cookies – starting bid is 5,000!
Oh wait, I already ate those… That’s a total bummer that those are potentially gone forever.
