hey ! I know Dirk Gentley (sp?) has died, so I'm excited to read about you picking up the mantle. That's so cool !

That's a new twist, though, to be 'Backseat' about the whole thing. Dirk would be proud, but I'm not certain about Mr. Adams.

Would you like my card?

Harpa, seriously, when the first book came out, I had some sense that it'd be a whole 10 book series of exploits and detecting. I miss Mr. Adams, much.

Alas, back to topic.

Uhm, most news agencies owned by Rupert Murdoch in the USA are fraught with error and a blatant disregard for fact-checking. That's just how they roll, as the 'focus' comes from the top.

Oh GoodNess! I likes the freely admired errors also, it's always good for a spate of spew.

I meant I rarely make errors. But when I do I admire them

what? no cell phone 'word suggest' ? I swear it should have read 'admitted' instead of 'admired' ..

I like "admire" better

Whatever kind of black magic your cell phone did to the word "admitted," the concept of admiring errors is kind of cool. If only my boss admired me for my errors -- after all, lots of chances to learn to improve.

I feel like twitterers are just vying for an "internet queen" pageant title.

Exactly why I hate Twitter. Tumblr, however can be awesome:

And a special thank you to the tabloid refuse:

Teen stunned at portrayal as Boston bombing suspect

REVERE, MASS. A teenager said he is scared to go outside after he was portrayed on the Internet and on the front page of the New York Post as connected to the Boston Marathon bombings.

Photos of Salah Eddin Barhoum, 17, and friend Yassine Zaime were posted on websites whose users have been scouring marathon finish line photos for suspects. The two were also on the Post's front Thursday with the headline: "Bag men: Feds seek these two pictured at Boston Marathon."

The Post reported later Thursday that the men weren't considered suspects, and the FBI has since identified two other men as suspects in the bombings Monday that killed three and injured more than 180.

But Barhoum, a track runner at Revere High School, said he is convinced some will blame him for the bombings, no matter what.

He was so fearful on Thursday that he ran back to the high school after a track meet when he saw a man in a car staring at him, talking into a phone, he said.

Barhoum added he received more than 200 messages online Wednesday, with one commenter from Oregon asking: "How could you do that? Did you even think about the consequences?"

Barhoum said he won't feel safe until the actual bombers are caught.

"I'm going to be scared going to school," Barhoum said. "Workwise, my family, everything is going to be scary."

I suppose he could sue for libel. That'd be cool.
