Social networking gone awry
I feel a little sickened right now. I’m posting this so publicly because I think this has affected pretty much all my friends and colleagues who are in my address book, even if we’ve only emailed once.

And on the brighter side
Anyone watching Heroes? I LOVE that Seth Green was the comic shop guy. "Best. Day. Ever." Ha!
