Too Much Information...
I have a friend who was making fun of the way I entered my pin number at the grocery store. I typically lean really close to the screen and cover it with my non-entering hand and press in my code with all viewing angles blocked. I really don't look like I am protecting anything, but I look like I am blind instead. I do this for a very good reason. About four years ago my pin number was stolen from an "observer" at a grocery store and $600 was taken out of my checking account!
Since then I have been really "secretive" with my pin and debt card (even though I've lost it twice and my other friend currently has my card and knows my pin number!). I try to also be this way about my e-mail and various other information. Although I don't know what the point is since if you type in my name, phone number, or any other snippet of information about me in google you will eventually be able to find out where I live, what I do, who my family is etc. My brother-in-law (who is also my friend) knows how to look up anyone's mortgage statement on-line in about three minutes.
Because of all this I have decided to publish my e-mail address in my profile. Before I was trying not to do that because I didn't want to put too much info about me out there, but that's just stupid, i mean what's the point! Unless you live a totally analog and cash only life people can find stuff out about you.
I apologize for not getting my iTunes results out (there are 95 suggestions) I just haven't had the 47.6 minutes available to preview all of the suggestions. In the meantime you should check out this essay about the "rules" of blogging. And yes I am no where near full compliance with this list, but it's still a good read. The essay is up for a bloggie this year, and if you haven't checked those out you should!

Your bloggie link is wrong. It is http://2005.bloggies.com
And, being that I do have your ATM card, I just wanted to say thanks for the new boat!
I understand putting "friend" in quotes perhaps as a subtle commentary on the quality of that friendship. What does it mean for "brother-in-law" to be in quotes?!
yeah... what does "friend" mean?
Meant for emphasis and attention only! It says..."Click Here" find out about this link..,...I love you guys....I'll fix it
Seriously folks, you should see this dude entering his PIN. It's like he's the nerd of the class who doesn't want anyone to cheat off of him. It's quite funny.
However, I'm fully aware that in making fun of him I will more than likely be the next victim of identity theft.
Finally, did anyone else notice that Jason called his "debit card" a "debt card"? Was that purposeful? If so, genius!
