Caylee Anthony
2-year old Caylee Anthony went missing on June 9, 2008 but her mom never reported it. Finally after a month, Grandparents called police and they discovered the child missing and tired of all of the mom’s different stories. The mom, Casey Anthony said she didn’t call the authorities because she was doing her own investigations, like she’s seen in movies. Watch this video from headline news for all the details:
UPDATE on July 19, 2008 from Fox News
I did some searching and found the mom’s myspace. She listed this information, a bunch of personal numbers to call if you have any information.

Making the WordPress Front Page
July 14, 2008
It’s always exciting to make the front page at wordpress.com. It’s a toss up on how it happens, my guess is it’s based on popular posts in the word press universe. But it would have to be moderated to place the posts in the appropriate category. We’ve made the front page a dozen or so times in or short history and it always feels special. Thanks everyone for bookmarking the page and reading what I have to say!

Behind the scenes at Rob’s Megaphone

I love peeking behind computer screens, at users desktops. One of my favorite blogs, Rob’s Megaphone posted a picture of his browser window and we learn he’s a Windows user! Oh the horror!
Filedropper! (Not so) Free Online File Storage
May 6, 20084-28-08 - I’ve spent much time online looking for decent file storage. Sites like rapidshare and megaupload are dreadful. There are a few nice sites out there that offer small amounts of storage free and lots for a monthly fee, like box.net
Well, a new website has just launched called filedropper.com. It is offering up 250 GB of free storage for everyone who signs up before May 15, 2008. After that, they will charge a monthly fee for this pro service.
It has drawn a lot of suspicion online, as it seems to good to be true. I’ve signed up and tried it and it works wonderfully. I strongly suggest signing up and giving it a whirl.
One bit of advice however is don’t use a password you’ve used before. You can’t be too careful, and this page still needs to prove itself.
UPDATE 05/01/08 - For some reason the special offer page is gone… keep checking back…
UPDATE 05/06/08 - It looks like they are reneging on their special offer. My account still works and shows its “premium” status. However, when you go to the special offer page it redirects you to their regular sign up site. Their plans seem pretty good, but I would hold off a little longer before I would suggest you give them any money. They still seem very mysterious…
