yowza, is this monday?
just a quick note.
i've been asked to write a letter to the editor and a letter to the dean of students at my old college regarding stupid things students are doing using trendy "networking" sites like facebook and myspace.
specific example? the hottest "group" in the old college network was started by some girl who lost her phone and needs all her friends "digits". and as you can imagine, she's getting them. so far, 80+ folks have left their number in a publicly viewable area. so, any stalkers in that area are getting the numbers, too, since they're posting them in a publicly viewable forum. they're also getting the people's names, their hometowns, their high schools, and other data! how stalkerrific.
i had initially wanted to just message the girl and say "look, stupid, take this thing down!" but then i didnt want to be seen as grumpy old alumni man. so, i contacted the university, and their folks said while they arent legally able to stop the activity, they think the dean of students and local paper should be notified by "a concerned member of the alumni community".
House notes: Corner cabinet removed, and being picked up tonight! (Photos on nala's flickr account.) I'm still half-heartedly looking for maple for baseboards. Gigamom said to check craigslist. Gigacousin found ALL his windows for his 3br cabin on craigslist for $200. ALL. There's like, 11 total. And they were new.
Tonight's agenda: fix downstairs toilet, remove remaining chair rail, and possibly remove wallpaper.
Ok, back to my hidey hole.
