Why does the internet hate us?

If it wasn't bad enough that Facebook made the internet total gaylord by putting a "Like" button on every website (where's the Dislike button, jerks?), now all of your personal information is potentially in a convenient searchable database (from The Banker):

Spokeo.com is new online phone book [containing] personal information: everything from pics you've posted, credit score, home value, income, age, etc. Search yourself on their site, find the URL of your page, then go to the Privacy button on the bottom of their page to remove yourself (just copy/paste the URL of your listing).

 

I had two listings, both under my maiden name, but one had me listed still living at [Dad's house], and one had me listed as living here.  Definitely logon and remove yourself!

 Kill you internet!

doppelgangers for hockey fans

this post may only be interesting to those hockey fans that read the blog. i know we have at least two: the teacher and her hirsute husband. anyway, i was watching the washington capitals (fuck you ovechkin!!!!!!) play the montreal canadians last week. while watching the game, i realized that the capitals coach, bruce boohoodreau (boudreau), is the spitting image of angus macgyver's boss pete thornton (played by dana elcar). go ahead, see for yourself.

Bruce Boohoodreau


Pete Thornton (with MacGyver)

as an added bonus, i found this little gem.
