Apparently this already puts me in the top quarter of fundraisers for the event.<\/p>\n<p>More over I&#8217;m pleased that of the original blogs committed to the process nearly 20% haven&#8217;t lasted the first 5 hours. I&#8217;m not so pleased abut others dropping out.. I&#8217;m more pleased that I&#8217;m not one of them. This is kinda cool and very much an incentive for me to have better follow-thru.<\/p>\n<p>Before the inquiry, I&#8217;d like to take a moment to talk about <b>HELL TOYS<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Most of what we buy for <a href=\"http:\/\/aiden_freeman.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">aiden_freeman<\/a> comes from consignment shops. Effectively used toys and clothes. <a href=\"http:\/\/shimmeringjemmy.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">shimmeringjemmy<\/a> bought a toy for him. It turned out to be a  <b>HELL TOY<\/b><\/p>\n<p>It is this rolling toy with little balls in it. So it makes a white noise-ish sound when rolled. This is not what makes it a <b>HELL TOY<\/b>. See, when jarred by a child it plays a digital recording of &#8220;The Farmer in the Dell&#8221; followed by a childs laugh. It also lights up. That being said.. the jarring sensor is broken. Sometimes it has a hair trigger. And I mean if someone across the room brushes their hair.. it goes off. Other times&#8230;. You can place kick it across the room and it doesn&#8217;t make a sound.<\/p>\n<p>I only bring this up because it is behind the sofa and randomly going off for no reason.<\/p>\n<p>Thus: <b>HELL TOY<\/b> <b>HELL TOY!<\/b> <font size=\"+3\"><b>HELL TOY<\/b><\/font><\/p>\n<p>(ahem)<\/p>\n<p>Now for the inquiry. Recently I stumbled (no, really, I don&#8217;t no how I found the site) upon <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\">Facebook<\/a>. I think it&#8217;s recently been gobbled up by that acquirer of Web 2.0 Sixapart. (Yes, the same company that convinced <a href=\"http:\/\/brad.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">brad<\/a> that it wasn&#8217;t selling out.)<\/p>\n<p>Anyone else played with this site? Anyone else on it? How did you find it? how do you find it? What do you think of it?<\/p>\n<p>Yes&#8230; I am a social networking whore.<\/p>\n<p>And while I don&#8217;t have your attention..
