UPDATE ON SATURDAYS POST!
I recieved a comment from the CEO of Overstock.com. He assured me that they were not responsible for this and that e-mail address can be easily "spoofed" or faked. I am posting this update as so that no one takes Saturday's post seriously.
Thank you for reading.

Overstock a phising site?
I recently got a very scary email. It said that I had purchased ladies Gucci glasses off of eBay and asked for me to pay. Well I had heard of phishing e-mails before, so I went on ebay.com (without clicking any links in the email) and checked my account. And what do you know, I DIDN'T BUY ANY GLASSES!
So I reported the email to eBay. They sent back the confirmation letter saying that they didn't send me the email.
I decided to do a little further research. The email said it was from emmajayne1981. The item number was valid on eBay (as Gucci glasses too) but I wasn't the winning bidder. I looked a little deeper into the email. I found the real email address as 834588375021345.009.2055.46986.1@obay.com .
oBay.com. That's actually kinda clever.
Normally you can't get an email unless you have an affiliation with that company or you purchased or registered for an email through that site. So I typed obay.com into Internet Explorer and found something wierd. Overstock.com's website. Overstock is a competitor of eBay.
Now I couldn't prove that Overstock owned this website just yet. This could have been fake, just like that email. I headed over to Network Solution's website. If you type in a websites address it will tell you everything about it, including who owns it. Turns out that Overstock really does own it.
This seemed kinda wierd so I searched oBay on Yahoo!. I found a news article saying that Overstock orignally was going to be called Obay putting a big emphisis on the O. They bought the site domain but couldn't call themselves Obay. This is a copywright infrigement on eBay's name. So they kept the domain but changed the name of their site.
Now my question is, since this email came from an Obay domain, does that mean that Overstock is phishing eBay customers?
I'll leave it to you to think about.

Things to Ponder II
Two weeks ago, I gave a list of things to ponder. Here is a sequal to the first one:
What is a "free" gift? Aren't all gifts free?
If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation?
When sign makers go on strike, what is written on their picket signs?
How can there be self-help groups?
Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there?
Why do we play in recitals and recite in plays?
If you get cheated by the Better Business Bureau, who do you complain to?
In a country of free speech, why are there phone bills?
What happened to the first 6 "ups"?
How do you throw away a garbage can?
Why is it that you must wait until night to call it a day?
When your pet bird sees you reading the newspaper, does he wonder why you're just sitting there, staring at carpeting?
Can a man in a wheel chair really follow in someone's footsteps?
Do dyslexics have more fnu?
If a child curses in sign language does their mother wash their hands with soap?
Is there another word for synonym?
If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?
Why is abbreviation such a long word?
If a mime is arrested, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent?
Why do they sterilize the needles for lethal injections?
Why do we drive on a parkway and park in a driveway?
When cheese gets its picture taken, what does it say?
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?
Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
Why are there handicapped parking spaces outside of an iceskating rink?
Should vegetarians eat animal crackers?
Why do banks leave both doors open, and chain their pens to the desks?
What happens when you are scared half to death twice?
If Barbie is so popular then why do you have to buy her friends?
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Since bread is square, why is sandwich meat round?
If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
Why are you IN a movie, but you are ON TV?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Just remember...if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.
Isn't it scary that doctors call what they do "practice"?
What should you do if you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant?
If people from Poland are called "Poles," why aren't people from Holland called "Holes"?
If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?
42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.
Why do people honk for peace?
Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.
Change is inevitable, except from vending machines.
How many of you believe in telekinesis? Raise my hand...
What is the speed of dark?
How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?
When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.
Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
Reader submitted ones:
If you put spot remover on your dog, will it disappear?
Why do we say a drain must be opened up because it is stopped up?
Got anything else to add? Put them in the comments.

Wii Release
If you remember or you go back through the posts then you will see that I was one of those crazy people who waited outside for a Nintendo Wii. Wanna know what happened, then read on. If not, don't read on.
On Saturday at about 8:30am I woke up. I had been talking non-stop about the Nintendo Wii for days before and was excited to get one. I had decided that if I got there by noon that I would still have time to get in line.
I took a shower and got ready for the day. My dad had said that he had heard of people staying overnight in some cities, so he suggested that I go and check out my compitition. I packed a bag full of supplies for the day. Grabbed all the warmest gear I could find. Found a sleeping bag (not to sleep in of course).
We headed over to Wal-Mart (yes I know, noone likes Wal-Mart. I just heard that they have the most in stock) at about 9:00. When I got there, 3 people were already in line. I decided to stay and wait out the day. I soon found out the 2nd person in line was someone I knew.
Pretty much the whole day went like this:
We sat.
Then we sat.
Then we sat somemore.
(Can't lose your spot in line now)
But we still found stuff to do once in a while.
At about 10:00 (1 hour after I got there) some people started showing up. By noon the whole line was full (boy was I glad that I didn't wait until 12:00). My dad came by once in a while to see if I wanted food or more clothes. A bunch of people in line had Nintendo DS systems, so we all played a few rounds of Starfox via NiFi (Nintendo wireless).
I called home and asked if my brother wanted to come over for a while. He could skateboard in the parking lot. We traded spots a few times so I could stand up once-in-a-while. My friends Josh and Chuckie came over at about 6:00pm. They saved my spot as I went inside to use the restrooms and play the Guitar Hero 2 demo. Chuckie had to leave about an hour later, but Josh stayed until the end. My family left and it got dark. Josh and I hung out until 11:00pm, one hour before I could buy the Wii. At 11:00 my dad came back and waited the remaining hour. About this time, people started selling there spot in line for more than $50 USD.
At midnight the store manager came out and told us to line up. Only those who were in line for a Wii were to get in the new line. He walked down the row and handed us each a ticket with a number on it. Mine said "4" because I was 4th in line. He walked us through the store in a single file line. We walked up to the layaway department where all the Wii products were. Everyone checked out, one at a time, number 1 going first and number 20 last. After I bought my Wii system and 1 extra controller, I headed off to GameStop.
I had reserved "Legend of Zelda" a few months before. I walked up to a guy at the door and showed him my reciept. He opened the door (I got to skip the line) and I walked in. The guy at the counter handed me the game, and I finally got to go home.
Josh and I stayed up for a few more hours playing Wii Sports and then went to bed.
I have to say, I love the Wii. Buy one today if you can. (This is not an ad) :)

Things to Ponder
Here are some things that may never have answers:
If a chicken had lips, could it whistle?
Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds?
If you can't drink and drive, why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor, and why do bars have parking lots?
Why do the drive-up ATMs have braile on them?
If Walmart is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors?
If nothing ever sticks to Teflon, how do they make Teflon stick to the pan?
Why do thaw and unthaw mean the same thing?
Why do you say that you're going to "take" a dump, when you leave something behind.
Why does your nose run and your feet smell?
Are there interstates in Hawaii or Alaska?
If you're in a car that can go the speed of light, what would happen if you turned on the headlights?
What was the best thing before sliced bread?
If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Why do we call it a hamburger when it is made from beef?
If 'pro' is the opposite to 'con', is Congress the opposite to progress?
How is it possible to have a civil war?
Why is a boxing ring square?
Whose idea was it to put an 's' in the word 'lisp'?
Can you cry under water?
If you have to put "your two cents in" but it's only "a penny for your thoughts," Where does the extra penny go?
Why do people say they "slept like a baby," when a baby wakes up about every 2 hours?
If you have more thing to ponder please add them as comments.

Things I Hate About the Internet
First up, the webpage everyone has seen at least once. This happens when you click on a link that goes nowhere.
Secondly, the stupid little "x" where a picture should be. You can see this in the post below because the people who I linked that picture to, got jealous and took it off their website so I couldn't have it on mine.
O.K. This is a little personal pet peeve of mine. Microsoft thinks it needs to own everything electronic. So, they put up their own search engine that really sucks.
I think we can all agree that long loading websites should die.
Even worse, long downloads.
(Yes I edited this picture)
O.K. Who really cares if they are going on to a more secure website. Last time I checked, security = good.
I'm glad that it tells me that I'm leaving a secure website. The annoying part is that no matter how many times you check that box, this stupid security alert always comes back.
Whats the point! You have to sign up for 18 offers after you hit 18 targets to get your $50 gift card.
Finally, Geocities is great for people who want to make a family webpage, but don't know how. The bad part about Geocities is that people try to put informative pages up, but end up putting completly false information. If your going to use Geocities, stick with a family page.So now you know about almost everything I dislike when it comes to the internet. Congratulations.

Happy New Year
Hey everyone. Happy New Year. Just thought I'd show how other websites celebrated the New Year.
And then I understood.
YouTube:
So is YouTube celebrating or is Chevrolet?
JibJab:
JibJab made a new movie:
FirstGov:
The United States offical website, FirstGov.gov did nothing to celebrate the New Year. They did not even say Happy New Year.
However the IRS did give us this little bit of New Year info:
Google:
I like Google's 2007 in the fireworks.
Yahoo:
At first I didn't understand how Yahoo was trying to show the spirit of New Years. They used this little picture:
But then that picture changed into this:
And then I understood.
Nintendo:
Nintendo did this:
(I don't care what you say. I think it has the spirit of New Year)

So, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Superman
In central Minnesota, there is this guy who always stands outside in a Superman costume. He always has an American flag and all he does is just stand there. Every once in a while he will try to make money by selling pictures with him. He used to stand outside a local Dairy Queen until he got a restraining order. I have also been told that he has been kicked out of at least seven malls in Minnesota.
Recently some people made a movie. They dressed up as Darth Vader and stood next to him. See what happens when Darth Vader steals the flag:
(oh ya, he doesn't always wear the big puffy suit that he wore in the top pictre)
It's been a while since I've seen him last, but dispite the restraining order, I can assure you that he will be back at Dairy Queen next summer.

Wii
The Nintendo Wii was released on Sunday. On Saturday, I decided to go and wait in line for it. I got in line at about 9:00 a.m. and waited 15 hours and 1 min (it released at 12:01) for it.
For those of you who don't know what a Nintendo Wii is, it is a new video game console in which the controllers have motion sensors and Bluetooth (so they're wireless).
I have to say, I'm impressed. Nintendo did well. Some features I like:
-Bluetooth controller relives the gamer from the cord
-Motion sensing makes the player feel like he/she is in the game
-Infrared allows a user to point at specific parts of the screen
-Nunchuck attachment (comes with one in package) makes the game even more realistic
-Wii Connect24 keeps the Wii always connected to the internet via WiFi. This allows you to receive "Wii-Mails" and play online games
-Backwards compatibility with the Gamecube games and accessories allowing me to play all my games on one system
-The Wii looks good
-And not last nor least, Wii Sports comes with
-And much, much more
Nintendo really did good. I am proud to say that I was the fourth person to get a Nintendo Wii in my town and that it ROCKS!

Digg
Wow! I never knew digg was so powerful. I had heard about digg shutting down sites due to bandwith, but I never realized how many people it took to do that. Last night my blog got on the homepage of digg. By this time today it has over 950 diggs and 30,000 unique visitors. Now I know why webpages with little bandwith get shut down within minutes of debutting on the homepage of digg.
So if you liked the post about geek/nerd tests then

Internet Explorer 7
Today I was reading digg. There was a post that obviously promoted IE7. It gave Add-Ons for it. 2 posts down was a post that obviously demoted IE7. It gave the bug list for it. I then realized that these were posted by the same person. They were even on the same site. Weird.

Your Nerdiness/Geekiness
A few days ago, my dad sent me a link to a website with a bunch of tests to see how nerdy you are. I took some tests and here's what I got:
I love money more than 39% of people
I even took this test twice on two different computers to make sure it was right. Wow!
What are your scores?
