userpic=don-martinSeen while cleaning out the spam comments: “EasyBinaryCash.com – Learn how to make 1000′s of dollars a month from home.” My first thought? Gee, I can make 8 dollars a month! Second thought? Gee, I can earn more being a folk musician; they make tens and tens of dollars!

How Facebook Has Improved the World…

I love stories like this: “Man charged with bigamy after two wives find each other on Facebook

Bigamists beware: Thanks to Facebook, keeping your wives from finding out about each other is almost impossible these days.

Corrections officer, and alleged bigamist, Alan L. O’Neill learned that lesson the hard way when Facebook suggested his two wives “friend” each other — leading wife No.1 to discover a picture of her husband and his second wife standing in front of a wedding cake, the Associated Press reports.

Now O’Neill is facing bigamy charges in a Pierce County court in Washington state. If convicted he faces up to a year in jail.

Damn. Why can’t Earthlink implement this.

That reminds me…. I need to call Time Warner to explore a cable modem. From what I understand, they’ve implemented this :-)

I just received an email from Rep East Playhouse announcing that their current production, “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” (which we’re seeing Saturday night) has only 5 performances left (tickets). Specifically, it said: “IT’S TERRIFYING… that you may miss this show! Just 5 Performances Left & it will not hold over”

I replied: “Do you mean that … Mr. Hyde will go bad?”
