Well here I had shutdown the Facebook account - hoping to eliminate the problem. I let it sit for a couple of days and then opened it back up for some of the groups I wanted to be in. But here again the problem has cropped up - so I'm posting this in Facebook, and here to prove this is mine To all my Facebook folks - I've been changing my profile slightly since I've found that some Yabbo has been sending out porno videos using my name. If anyone has been offended by this drek, I apologise for letting my profile be used like that. AS folks who really know me know this is not my style. In addition, I'm going to be cutting back on this account and if someone sends you something like this in my name again, forward it back to me and I'll take care of it. For the time being - I'll only be checking this account once in a while, but if you need to get in touch immediately - email me through my blog at colecoop.blogspot.com - or through my Plaxo Pulse profile.

You know you live in Alberta... If your local Dairy Queen is closed from September through May, you live in Alberta . If someone in a Home Depot store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you live in Alberta. If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you live in Alberta. If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you live in Alberta . If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of Edmonton for the weekend, you live in Alberta. If you measure distance in hours, you live in Alberta . If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you live in Alberta . If you have switched from "heat" to "air conditioning" and back again in the same day, you live in Alberta . If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in Alberta. If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you live in Alberta ...

Now I'm no Jefferson - but I've been following Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn's troubles with the HRC. And for what it's worth - I think the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is about due for it's First Amendment. Sort of along the lines of this: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. Which is of course, the First Amendment to the American Consitution. Now as I said, I'm not a Jefferson, but when it comes to amending the Charter of Rights and Freedoms my humble suggestion would be as follows: We the People of Canada, require and direct the Government of Canada, Parliament, Legislatures, and government agencies to make no law or regulation, or use any regulatory body of Canada to abridge the right of Freedom of expression.

Well, for the beginning of 2008, I've shut down my Facebook account. Orginally I got the account to help me manage my personal e-mail contacts, my social network as they say, and I have LinkedIn for my business contacts, hotmail for my instant messaging, and this Blog for posting stuff. Like a lot of folks who are online a lot, I have a couple of e-mail addresses on Gmail and other systems all of which have e-mail adress books and the number of addresses in all the books has reached over 300, so it's becoming unmanageable. So in the beginning of December, I signed up for Plaxo - the Beta of which calls itself "Your address book for Life" which is what I needed to sync all the addresses from all the accounts, clean up the duplicates and update the addresses I have. Heck it even helped me send out Christmas cards this year, and update addresses from folks I talk to regularly. Now if you use Plaxo - you're probably saying "Wait a minute - you can bridge your F...
