You gotta love it..

Someone, who shall remain nameless but who is related to me, (although not in my immediate family) forwarded me one of those chain letter email thingies. Not a big deal, she’s been known to do this from time to time, but in this case, she didn’t take out any of the previous forwarding information. This email gave me names and email addresses of at least 50 people who I don’t even know. If I was a little less scrupulous I might have been tempted to use those addresses, say to promote my site, or the Amazon links, or something worse…

Alas, I’m not that mean, but it’s something we all need to remember about forwarding email messages. Take out all that contact information!

    This is mostly a note to myself, and anyone else who finds themselves in a similar predicament in the future. I downloaded my first ebook from the library since buying a new laptop this weekend.

    I was just flipping through my aggregator and read Neil’s post about using a news aggregator. I’d have to say, I pretty much agree with the complaints he has. I generally find that I don’t ever make it to the site to read the contents when those sites post only titles or short excerpts of…
