Update status to 'busted'

I found this funny tidbit in the November 20th 2009 edition of Computer World Canada.

Think you're obsessed with the time-suck that is Facebook? A Pennsylvania man has set the bar pretty high on that front. Police were called to a home in Martinsburg, W.V., for a reported burglary. The victim told police her bedroom window had been forced, cabinets opened, and two diamond rings valued at about $3,500 stolen from a dresser, according to the Martinsburg Journal.

In the same room sat a computer. The alledged burglar had apparently used the PC to access Facebook, and had forgotten to sign out.

Stand up, Jonathan G. Parker, 19, of Fort Loudoun, Pa. Your new Facebook status: Busted.

Oops!

I must be getting old since last Saturday (Feb. 27) was my birthday! I guess I was having too much fun... :-)

Friendly Wager

Obama owes Harper a few brews after Canada takes U.S. in Olympic hockey

THE CANADIAN PRESS 12 hours, 31 minutes ago

VANCOUVER, B.C. - It seems U.S. President Barack Obama owes Prime Minister Stephen Harper a few cold ones.

The two leaders had a friendly bet on the outcome of Sunday's gold-medal Olympic hockey game.

Team Canada came out on top, so Obama will have to pick up a 24-pack of Molson Canadian for the prime minister. Harper would have had to buy Obama a case of Yuengling beer if the U.S. had taken the top honour at the tournament.

Team USA beat Team Canada in the first match-up between the two countries in the preliminary rounds, but Canada came out on top in a heart-stopping overtime round on Sunday.

Harper was at the game in Vancouver but Obama did not make an appearance at the Olympics.

The prime minister met with the gold medal winners in the locker room after the game to congratulate them.
