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!

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.

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.

My how to presentation

So for speech class, I have to make a presentation on how to do something.  I chose making a blog using Blogger.  I just finished it.  It's interesting.  The PowerPoint is a skeleton of the presentation.  I was going to put the PowerPoint on here, but I'm not quite sure how to do that.

Glee

Hey guys.  I've been watching a Glee marathon.  I decided to watch Glee after hearing about it.  Apparently it's very popular.  Ony three out of the total 13 episodes aired so far dave had under six million viewers.  I can see why it blew the ratings out of the water.  This show is extremely innovative.  It's like watching a musical every week.  I watched all thirteen episodes at once.  That took about nine and a half hours from start to finish.  It was pretty crazy.
