  Well - I got to learn that Orkut doesn't have any email attached to it. That was kind of a disappointment - but then again, being it is a community type of setup, I suspect that I will at least find nice people to talk to. Did have something kind of strange happen though. Some guy started writing my son and demanding to know how he got his account - and started saying that it was an invite that was stolen from him. After emailing back and forth with him, I went to gmail swap and discovered that he is buying these things up at a high rate of volume, and I would suspect that he is selling them. He was being quite the jerk to people too - he would put out a cash offer, and then when they would accept his offer, he would drop his price. It is kind of sad to see something that had such good intentions enable the worstest people with that kind of ability.
It would be a good thing if the thing could go public - and take this ability out of their hands. Anyhow, it is nice and quiet in the house right now. The baby is finishing up his late night snack, the ten year old is in bed asleep and the 18 year old is watching his movie in the other room. Even the dog is quiet. They say that Christmas eve is quiet - it isn't. The little ones are too busy trying to catch Santa in the act. This is a quiet night...
