I will rarely, if ever again, discuss my nonprofit on this blog. I’ve been offering updates about it on my site and will continue to do updates there. It is a children’s charity and for that reason I do not want it plastered all over this blog or permanently floating all over the Internet (since my site does change and I’ve disallowed archiving, I’m hoping what I write there will not remain).
badmash
This isn’t much of a blog post and I’m sorry about that. But, had to share this site. It’s just too funny. I especially like the two “Simpsons” intros.
Believe it or not, I discovered this site through a Newsweek article. At least they’re still good for something.

Another collection of random thoughts and observations. A little more pissed off this time around.
…and i know where you called from
This is news to me, but not good news. Apparently, not only are cell phone call records being sold but one can also buy the actual location of where the call was made from. Either these companies will have to be shut down, or there is going to a be whole new market for a cell phone maker who can encrypt or destory such information at the call center. A company that doesn’t keep (or sell) records will become very popular, I’d think.
Here’s the article. We don’t need terrorists to threaten our security. Legally-operating businesses seem to be doing a good job of that already.
i can buy your call records
If you use cell phone service from Cingular, Sprint or T-Mobile, you may be interested to know that anyone with Internet access and $80-$110 on a credit card can pull your phone records. All they need is your cell phone number.
