Sort of funny in a not-so-funny kind of way, while I was pondering the implications of the .net URL owned by 80s cover band Poprocks, Jess just informed me that she was receiving scary letters from scary lawyers demanding that she relinquish her 5-year-old domain name. Stupid candy company. What could Jess's site possibly be called if not Poprocks?! We'll have to start thinking of ideas.

In related website news, two interesting e-mails recently reached my inbox by way of runonsentence.com. The first is sort of freaky: After running a search for "Blissium," a young student (let's call him "Jim") claims to have come upon my blog (wherein I mentioned the alleged herbal drug, a while back) and decided to share what he's learned. Which is basically a phone number to order the stuff and a request for more info. Though Jim does seem like a fine lad, I wonder if a collegiate type would really use the words, "risk-free trial" in a casual e-mail?

The second one is sort of touching: I was contacted by a high-school friend of my mom's (let's call her "June") who has been looking for her for years. June has been unsuccessful due to the fact that my mom was remarried 20 years ago and thus has changed her name 2x. Apparently, she finally managed to track her down through classmates.com and then, my site: I quote my mom (an unbiased expert, I swear!) in an ancient article for WildWeb. So, June wrote me a really sweet e-mail last week asking for my mom's contact info.

Sometimes, I just really love the Internet.
