Today, someone or something hacked into my hotmail account and sent spam to everyone on my contact list.

Yeah it was real nice trying to explain to my father about the cryptic e-mail that contained just a hyper link in it.

By the by, if anyone from around here receives a similar message from my "account" get rid of it immediately and let me know about it.

Nearly getting broadsided by a Cadillac SUV (I drive a Prius). The woman was talking on the phone (so what else is new with these AZ drivers). I took a picture of her license plate, then waved my phone at her saying "I got your license, and I am going to report you." I left her at the intersection with a worried look on her face.

I'm not interested in having a personal Facebook but they're good for online businesses (especially ones on etsy) so I signed up for a business profile. I filled out all the information it asked for only to find out that by doing so I had irreversibly converted my business profile to a personal one, with my own name as the page name, my schools listed, and nothing businesslike remaining. Since I had used the username I would want for the business I have to get the account completely deleted so I can start over but their deletion form wasn't working. I found a contact email for them online (not on their own site though) so MAYBE it will get done. Someday.

Seriously, if you have a business account and filling in all the fields they SHOW you will transform that account into another type, why not provide some kind of WARNING? A little note somewhere, or a pop-up that says "You are about to change this business profile into a personal profile, there is no way to reverse this process, are you sure you want to do this?" Way to go, Facebook.

edit: They responded by quoting the article on their site telling me to use the form (the one that wasn't working). So I tried it again and magic, it worked. I'm thinking they fixed it because of my email. Now I have to wait as long as 2 weeks for the account to be deleted so I can start over.

Obnoxious teen burglar in the Seattle area:

I'm sorry, but this punk really rubs me the wrong way. I'd love to get my hands on him for five minutes.

I have read a lot about this kid. He is over six feet and really thin; I heard he is real brilliant (IQ-wise). A lot of people there are making a hero out of him (the younger crowd anyway).

Ah yes, I know of this guy well. I think all us Seattlelites do. What a nuisance he's been.

This is completely unacceptable:

Everyone involved in this inexcusable invasion of privacy should be fired, fined, jailed, and never allowed to work in the public education system again!

I hope this school district is ready to pay thru the nose in law suits! There are going to be people hung out to dry on this one!
