Myspace... the "How To"

I'd been asked a lot about exactly how Myspace works. And although I could navigate it with my eyes closed, so to say... I often find it a bit more difficult to explain to people, just because I'm used to doing it rather than having to explain how to do it. The good news is that MSNBC has posted a "MySpace How To" which does a great job of explaining the community and giving instructions on how to navigate it.

For those parents who are interested in seeing just what is going on there... I can't encourage you more to take a look at the How To.

This is a great link - the report about the three girls and their MySpace accounts was incredible - it should be MUST viewing for all parents of teens. I didn't know this was up there - thanks a bunch for posting this!

I've decided we need a visual image for the internet.
The internet is a lot like river where you go white water rafting. It is fast, fun, and even useful and educational. And especially the edges can be very fun. But there are deep, dark, fast and dangerous waters there also. And just like most parents wouldn't send their children white water rafting without supervision, they should also be supervising internet usage.

If your kids have Myspace accounts, you might want to check out this page it's from MSNBC and it contains a fake profile to help you get an idea of what shouldn't been available on the site. Sort of a "don't do this".

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...
