Life in the Banana Patch

A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.

"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell

A few months ago, I discovered the Scotti, the blond welder from the first season of MythBusters had a MySpace.com page. So I registered for MySpace so I could read her blog. One of my co-workers, who happens to be in MySpace's target demographic and is, therefore, half my age, stumbled across my unfilled out profile page and snorted derisively. Shamed into action, I spent a couple of hours yesterday getting it all set up.

But I had one major problem: I don't want to start another blog! I needed a way to get all my blogs onto my Myspace page. Fortunately, Feedburner came to the rescue! They have a little widget that will put the feed for my blog on MySpace.

Good! Now I only have to update three blogs.

Shortly after updating my profile page, I received about 10 friend requests from spammers. Is there no where to go to get away from the scumbags?
