Man, I’ve been seeing all these stories on the news telling people to be careful about what they post on websites like Facebook and My Space, and I always thought, “This is news? To whom? Shouldn’t people already know that a site designed to connect people is a place where you are choosy about how …

AttenTV: A Great Idea If You’re A Creep, A Loser Or Just Don’t Have Any Respect For Yourself And Your Privacy
Can somebody please tell me where the appeal is in this? I’ll break it down quickly for the benefit of those of you who don’t have time to read a long article. A new service called AttenTV allows people to download a browser plug-in that will record and broadcast their clickstreams for others to watch. …
Talk to the Twin
Wow. This is just weird. An Australian company called MyCyberTwin.com has come up with a program that is an artificial intelligence and can chat to your friends for you. Then, you can read what your friend and this twin said later. Process that for a while. There are enough people who go online, but find …
Spammers And Bankers And Rage, Oh My!
So, how’s everybody today? Hopefully good. I’m doing ok. A little sluggish, but that’s alright, I’ll get over it eventually. Maybe writing might help get me going, so I figure that’s what I’ll do until I run out of things to talk about or get sidetracked by something else. Everybody keeps asking me if I …
Thought Hodgepodge
I just felt like posting about a bunch of stuff, and since this is going to be the last bit of sanity I have before my life gets turned upside-down by guide dog school and puppy’s arrival, not that I’m complaining, I figured I should take it! So it’s 3 days to go, can you …
Saving Some People Some Time
Wow! I never know what people are going to choose to search for and come to our site. Ever since I wrote the post about the herbal king, we’ve had at least 5 searches for this king, some seeming to wonder if it is a scam. Let me save them some time and say, make …
Why Can’t all Spam Be This Funny?

Lost in Spaces.
Ok, this is just weird. I never noticed this until today, and now I want to know the answer. Ever since I could type, I was always told to put two spaces after the end of a sentence. I was never told exactly why, except, “It looks good on paper.” They told me not to …
Somewhere, There’s a Code Monkey in Trouble
This is just a quick post to warn anyone who might have clicked on John Pinette’s website in our links bar and thought about buying his stuff via PayPal that you shouldn’t do it. I guess that address isn’t being used anymore and you have to buy all his stuff through Amazon. Luckily for me, …

What? A Legitimate Email Warning?
Yesterday, I got an email that made me shake my head and question reality. Had I fallen into a parallel universe? Was I still sleeping? If I was awake, had the world changed as I slept? I got an email that told me I should read it immediately and let everyone know of its contents. …
