First XM makes all its music channels commercial-free. Then they add a Punk channel. Now this.

thieves crash party, steal id, get blogged | Metafilter

MeFi informs us of the case of Danah Boyd, blogger, whose purse was stolen at a party. What, oh what, Gentle Reader, is an aggrieved bloggette with phonecam photos to do? Appeal to the blogosphere for justice, natch!

Only time will tell if Danah's efforts in solving The Problem of the Purloin'd Purse will prove successful. But MRJEFF wishes her and her merry band of vigilantes only the best of luck!

Touch-tone Amway

MRJEFF's apartment manager dropped by this evening with AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY for me to SAVE 20% OR MORE on my phone bill. ACN, he said. And handed me a sign-up form (already mostly filled out, for my convenience).

It looked good. But he'd tried something like this in the past, when roomie and I first moved in. Manager Jason is an entrepreneur^*, you see. And I was concerned about the "deadline". I need to send this in today, he said. I told him it looked interesting, but I'd need to look it over. Research. Consult with my roommate Mike. I'd let him know tomorrow. Tomorrow's fine. Let me know before 10. That's my deadline.

So off to Google I go. BBB says there are no complaints about the service. And then. A link, to a site on an anti-MLM webring. Multi-Level Marketing, the pyramid scheme's slightly more reputable brother. ACN, it turns out is not primarily selling telephone service. Rather, it's promoting "opportunity" - the opportunity to sign people up, in the hopes of making money off them. Touch-tone Amway.

Dear Ask MetaFilter: I just started dating this really awesome girl, and we spend the night together often, and I want to know how long I have to wait before I can fart in bed.

Clow vs. Cuban!

My boss (loosely defined) does not blog.

Unlike the boss of someone else I could mention. (Again, very loosely defined.)

You win this round, Matt.

Ach - I've been neglecting the ol' MRJEFF blog way too long. Mea maxima culpa, Gentle Reader.

So, here's a little filler to tide you over:

Who's Spamming Me Now?

• Doctor Fit ("Lose Weight Without a Diet!")
  
• Tangelo P. Mississippi ("Qdox vollgespritzt und rausgetropft!")
  
• Nolan Dove ("Womens survey says ENLARGE? [as seen on tv]")
  
• Liabilities P. Bisque
  
• Guadalupe Mcgill
  
• Barrister Dennis Oliseh (The ubiquitous '419 scam' is at this point one of Nigeria's main industries!)
  
• Dick Mcintyre ("The Hughest [sic] Cocks You Can Ever Imagine !")
  
• William Drummond ("Big Tits + Round Asses = Really Hot Girls !" [True, true - ed.])
  
• Herringboning F. Prince ("You can cnsoolidate or eliminate your dbet, today!")

It's nice to feel needed and appreciated.
