The 2010s are truly the age of the share, whether Instagramming pictures of your breakfast, Facebooking all your friends about your holiday or tweeting a link to your latest blog. Social media has turned us all into broadcasters, producing special-interest programming on every aspect of our lives and thoughts. We are all our own chat show.
But while we gently mock those who overshare or bore on about their children or their dull jobs or impart half-baked political opinions, social media has also given us a window into people's lives that we've never had before. Total strangers upload pictures of themselves in new outfits, on nights out, in fabulous apartments and occasionally - on Naked Sunday, for example - undressed. And we observe, we judge, we aspire. We envy.

Today Latino Rebels were part of an inaugural roundtable discussion broadcast on NPR’s AltLatino. Our founder, @julito77, joined the shows co-cohosts, Jasmine Gard and Felix Contreras, and our friend Marisa Treviño of Latina Lista.
We talked about three topics: “Devious Maids,” the tragedy of undocumented minors entering the U.S. alone, and the developments that led to Coors Light beer controversy with the Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City.
You can hear the WHOLE SHOW here.
We also thought the pairing up of songs to topics worked really well, and yes, ending any show with Ruben Blades is always a good decision.

El Morro fortress, in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
For a novel way to visit San Juan or the Dominican Republic, take a cruise from the New York area — no airfare required.
Several cruise lines have itineraries from New York that call in San Juan. Royal Caribbean has cruises from Bayonne, N.J., that also visit Samana in the D.R.
Here are some of the options:
1. Set sail on the 3,000-passenger Carnival Splendor, round-trip from New York, on an eight-day Eastern Caribbean cruise that includes calls at Grand Turk, St. Thomas, and eight hours in San Juan (3 p.m. to 11 p.m.). Through October, fares from $489.
2. Book a nine-night Caribbean cruise, round-trip from New York, on the 2,394-passenger Norwegian Gem and spend time in St. Thomas, St. Maarten and San Juan (you’re there from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.). The cruises are October to April, fares from $649.
3. Cruise on the brand new, 4,000-passenger Norwegian Breakaway on a 12-night itinerary that sails round-trip from New York, and visit San Juan one evening, 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., as well as St. Thomas, St. Maarten, St. Lucia, Barbados and St. Kitts. Fares from $1,299.
4. Embark from Bayonne on Royal Caribbean’s 3,114-passenger Explorer of the Seas on a nine-day itinerary and combine a day in San Juan (4 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.) and Samana (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) with visits to Labadee, Haiti and St. Thomas. Fares from $659.
