Selfie

Are you a selfie-ist?  I go through phases.  And I have to be honest:  When I'm in one, it's because I am looking for attention.  So, I like to think I have outgrown posting 16 shots of my mug in the same day... but no promises. I will do my best, though, because like you, I have friends who are obsessive, seemingly narcissistic, selfie addicts...

When you go on a trip to a location in Northern Colorado, you have a checklist. And that checklist probably includes your cell phone and selfie stick.

Move over, Pizza Rat. There's a new rat in town! A man passed out in a New York City subway was startled this week when he woke up to a rat taking a selfie on his lap. His rat awakening came when the flash on his cell phone went off - that's when he saw the rat sitting on his lap...

A popular park here in Colorado remains closed because people keep taking selfies with bears. Waterton Canyon, a 20 minute drive southwest of Highlands Ranch, has been closed since August 28 after too many people attempted to take selfies with bears in the park...

For most people, the moments following a bad car crash wouldn't exactly be the idea time to whip out the phone to take a selfie. But this guy isn't most people, apparently.

It seems that every few months a proposal video goes viral. It also seems that a short time after one goes viral, we discover it is fake. This could very well be one of those times.

The National Transportation and Safety Board has determined that "selfies" were likely responsible for a fatal Colorado plane crash last May.

Ah, technology. With the advances over the years, it's pretty hard to stay anonymous. Take, for instance, this pair of apparent iPad thieves in suburban Houston.
