Have you, or anyone you support gotten the “You have until July 1st to opt-out of having credit bureaus share information with anyone, etc…” email? I’ve had a couple of people here get it, since it’s that time of year again, closing in on July 1. I’ve been pointing them to this link.

By the way, the new version actually tells you to ignore option 1 when you call, even though that option specifically mentions that email. That might be a hint that this is bogus, huh?

No, not about Sept. 11, or anything like that, because those thoughts are private, and personal. But to take a moment, as we all should this day, to appreciate all the…

    So I took a look at Robert Scoble’s entries from last night and he says some interesting things. Of course he sounds exactly like you would expect a guy in NEC Sales to sound, which makes you wonder if he’s being honest or just a corporate shill, I’ve met Robert and I think he’s probably…
