That’s Just another little reminder from the universe that URIs were never designed for humans. And that identify theft is all-too-easy online.
It’s somewhat amusing … whoever started the scoble-like blog started blogging on April 13, 2006 with a classic “I’m blogging at last” post, and apparently ended that all-too-brief flirtation just two days later, on April 17.
Someone probably warned him/her that identify theft, even in the blogging world, is a bad idea.

Chocolate bunny
Aidan recently entered a coloring contest at a local store.
The prize was a 5 kilogram chocolate Easter bunny, and Aidan was 100% sure he was going to win.
Sure enough, on Friday last week we got a call from the store. Aidan, Ethan, and I went down and picked up the bunny, which is bigger than Aidan.
As soon as I saw it, I was thinking … hmm … probably from China, the chocolate probably tastes like wax. Actually, it was made in Montreal, and the chocolate - while not exactly gourmet - is not bad at all.
Good thing it’s hollow, but I still have no clue how we’re going to eat it all!
Here’s a shot of him actually inside the box …
Now the question is: what on earth are we going to do with 5 kilograms of milk chocolate?
Anybody want some chocolate, cheap?
In the dude-change-the-name category
I was assiduously building my network on LinkedIn today when I noticed the “new people from Premier” (my current company). Knowing that the “new people” are almost never from the Premier that I’m from, I obediently checked, only to find these people …
They include an unfortunate individual in the position of interim manager named Dick Slob.
I submit that he should run, not walk, to the nearest hall of officialdom where name-changing occurs. His first name is an epithet; his last a slur.
You can’t make stuff like this up - it’s just too good. Were his parents Serbs named Slobodan? Did they want to disavow connections with the infamous Milosevic? Did they think it was just easier to spell?
Guaranteed: he changes the name, the interim comes off his title.

Just overheard in the dining room …
Teresa (my wife):
“Aidan, what’s your address?”
Aidan (my 4-year-old son):
“Aidan.com”
Funny little man … funny little man.
Leaked!
