Book Buy Back

So I'm kind of peeved.  MCC's book buyback program and BookMark's buyback program are really ripping students off.  I bought a used textbook for a business intro class for $100.  For those of you that read me frequently, I love business and this class is really very unnecessary.  I know the material covered by this class inside and out.  Anyway, I tried to sell the book back to the school, but I learned that they will not be buying the book back because they have moved on to the next edition.  I then went to the independent book store across the street from the school called BookMark.  They also would not buy the book back.  I guess that I'm going to have to sell it online.

World's Most Expensive Hotel

I just wanted you guys to see the world's most expensive hotel.  It's in Singapore.

Design Changes

Just wanted to write a quick post about some design changes.  Because of the new layout system, I can very easily change the background image of the blog.  Unfortunately I cannot, at this time, choose my own background image.  I will be changing the background image frequently, so stay tuned.  To stay informed, you can bookmark this blog.  It's pretty easy.  On a Mac use the combination of "Command + D".  On a PC use "CTRL + D".  Stay tuned!

Summer Classes

So, I'm starting my first summer class in half an hour.  It's Advertising.  Wish me luck.  My summer schedule is:

Advertising and Promotion Management

Monday through Thursday

Business Enterprise
6 PM to 10PM
Tuesday and Thursday

This should turn out to be an interesting summer.  I'll keep readers informed.

New design

Blogger has officially done away with the old templates.  They have a new, highly customizable template designer.  I chose picture window, because with it I can choose from hundreds of beautiful pictures like the one that is up as I write this.  As I write this post, I have a picture of a cliff on the blog.  It looks like the English countryside, not that I've ever been there.

Sybaritic

So I just learned this word and I love it!  This is the note from the Apple Dictionary

sybaritic |ˌsibəˈritik|adjectivefond of sensuous luxury or pleasure; self-indulgent : their opulent and sybaritic lifestyle. See note at sensuous .

Kwame's MDOC OTIS Page

For Kwame's Michigan Department of Corrections page, click on the link above.  I'll bet Carolyn Cheeks isn't too happy about that.  I read in the Freep that he is being transferred.  This page will reflect the transfer.  The prison he was relocated to has towers that shoot potential escapees.  Wonder how long Kwame will be alive assuming he tries to escape.

Kwame-dizzle is finally in jail

Kwame Kilpatick is in prison.  FINALLY.  I'm pretty happy about it.  Justice has been served.  The hip-hop mayor can now join other hip-hop personalities such as 50 Cent and Akon in the not so exclusive been-to-jail club.  He said: "I asks you judge to be free.  I want to go home y'all."  I say: Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.  I'm sure Carolyn Cheeks is upset, and I'm sure Bernie is upset, but I think I speak for the vast majority of Detroiters when I say FINALLY.  Let's move on from this drama.  Lock him up with the rest of the offenders, and let's move on.

Email Account Issues

My Yahoo email account was compromised last week.  (May 11th)  I found out a few hours after it happened.  It sent an email with a link to a Russian website.  Please do not click the link.  I'm not sure what it goes to.  I contacted the FTC, and they told me that what happened constituted identity theft.  They said that anytime someone or something sends an email using your email account without your knowledge or consent, it's considered identity theft which is a felony.  They told me to put a fraud alert on my credit report, and to contact Yahoo! and file a police report.  I contacted Yahoo! and they told me that it was a virus going around on their system.  When I asked the Yahoo! Customer Service Representative whether he thought that I should file a police report, he was totally silent.  I have to imagine Yahoo! wouldn't want their reps saying either one or the other.
So the ordeal was trying to say the least.  Evidence of the bug's transgressions were slight.  Actually the bug attacked my email again two days later.  I was pretty upset the second time.  I forwarded the bad email to Yahoo! customer service.  They sent me the same form email back the second time.  It's a bug on their system, blah, blah, blah.
