I had to learn the hard way and discovered my blog was hacked. The spammer loaded it full of hidden links to movie download sites. After cleaning up 70 posts by hand, you can bet I made sure the new password won’t be guessed by them again. And it will be changed regularly, too.

It’s “140 Characters” – a sort of how-to I am using as resource material for writing and research on a personal project that launches in early ’10.

I’m looking forward to what seems like a regularly updated feed paired up with static content all built around the framework of a book.

And it’s a paid app to boot.

Like I said, interesting hybrid.download Care Bears: Journey to Joke-a-Lot Prey full movie

Her opinions on how to fix what’s wrong current economic problems (credit card companies raising everyone’s interest rates to 30% for no good reason; banks paying themselves huge bonuses with taxpayer money through TARP funds) are spot on, plain spoken arguments that say what it seems no one else will say. She’s forceful, clear and hard to disagree with.

I first heard her on Fresh Air with Terry Gross a few years ago discussing how credit companies conceal the terms of your agreement with them to the point that no one understand what the terms mean.

Some of these I plan to attend, and you’re welcome to join. Let me know you’re coming and I’ll look for you.

I’ll publish them on my Google Calendar, which you can subscribe to for easy reference. I’ll tweet buy Schock them also. Hashtag triad is #Geoff #Seattle #networking

The point is to bring more people together, and to reduce the social anxiety of attending events where you may not know anyone.

I love networking, and networking with buddies makes it easier to meet more people.

Know of an upcoming event that I haven’t listed? Add it to the comments, and thanks for sharing.

Remember: Pay It Forward
