Andrew, at one point, had gotten into a very entertaining conversation with a spammer.  I thought it was hilarious (we had also read some online).  I VOWED to wait until I got one through to my personal email account, and it has!  BEWARE LINK IS A GOOGLE NOTEBOOK LINK TO PORN! The email follows:

I decided to have some fun! Here’s my reply:

Dear Galen,

I really like your haiku!  I was trying to interpret its meaning.

“Seventh Heaven Grow” sounds like a garden that you would like to take your significant other to (may I suggest Strawberry fields in Central Park, NYC?) and “not house cheer smell floor” tells me that you are unhappy with her housekeeping duties? Taking her to a garden sounds like a great idea to get her motivated with housework.  Kudos to you!

I noticed you included a large group of us here.  I’m glad to see that you are making more friends.  Although be careful, I hear there are a lot of creepy people on the Internet.

I clicked on the link you sent me.  Is that a picture of your wife or girlfriend (whom I bet inspired the poem) naked?  I might add - she is LOVELY and the photos are very tasteful.

I noticed you use google notebook. I LOVE Google notebook. The link your page took me to required a credit card to sign in.  As I’m sure this is an error, I hope you provide me with some credentials to view more pictures of you and your family.

So how have you been?

Best Regards!

I’ll let you know if I get a reply back.  *crosses fingers* HERE’S HOPING!

We all grew up with an assortment of musical styles and have developed our own taste at or around our teenage years.  I have been haphazardly throwing around the word scrobble in casual language not realizing some of you have no idea what I’m talking about.  Frankly, just over a year ago, I didn’t know what it was either.

At first, when Andrew mentioned the idea behind the scrobbling service, Last.fm, I was curious but ultimately not interested in any of this whatsoever.  Honestly, I just didn’t see myself seeing any benefit to me.  Obviously, I have changed my tune (no pun intended).  I have used other cool services, such as Pandora, Playlist, etc and was just not excited about the prospect of this idea of scrobbling.
