Well I mentioned the Kathy Sierra issue in an earlier post and was very disappointed with how things have spiraled out of control.
The more I have read the less I am convinced this was anything but a bunch of trolls who had too much time and made some stupid comments. Now we have such idiotic feel good crap coming about as March 30: Participate in Stop Cyberbullying Day.
Something I have said for many years that
What do you think, do they make a profit off text messages?
Why Are Text Messages Marked Up 4876%?
Verizon and other cellphone companies mark up the cost of text messages by at least 4876% when compared to their rates for data transfer services.
Well its not surprising to see this kind of thing unfortunately. The sad part is that people are going to give in to it. Thats not any better than 'feeding the trolls' by arguing with them. Do I think Kathy should prosecute? Absolutely! Terroristic threats are now a felony where in the past some threats were at best ignored by police. What she shouldn't do is quit living. Doing so she is becoming the Boston of the blogosphere, overreacting to a kid with a keyboard much like that city did to some lite-brite like boxes and later even one of their own traffic counters.
When it comes to bargains freebies coupons etc my wife rocks!
I'll take a few dozen! Thanks Boing Boing!

Animal rights activists want to kill baby Polar Bear - SickOh, brother, more madness from animal right activists.
So it begins. Secure in its now expanded monopoly, AT&T is beginning to curtail just what services you can access. Why? Well because they cost them too much.
Looks like I don't have to say much here, the ad says it all. :)
It's well known that here in the south NSACAR is huge. And race weekend is a good time to not go near Atlanta Motor Speedway unless you are a racefan and have hours to wait in traffic. The good news is the thousands of fans bring big money to the area! They dump a ton of cash into the local economy. So much that the Clayton County police department decided to take their cut too!
They have decided this was the perfect weekend for a prostitution sting!
A while back my wife joined several Atlanta based mother groups. She has really enjoyed the friends she has made there and some of the fun things they have done together. It seemed a safe place to meet people. The groups all tend to operate in a manner of checking out whomever joins and only meeting new folks in large public gathering to prevent problems with bad people.
Recently one of them let a man (Eric Jeffares AKA James Jeffares) join who has a criminal history thats just been discovered. Information about the guy is here
