Bought the new Madonna album - it's great!!!
And it's nice to see the pop idols from my teenage years grew up like me - a bit wiser and a bit more selfaware and -critical; listen f.ex. also too the albums of George Michael...

It's amazing how much you learn from typos! I have a tendency to mistype Google, and therefor I know about these sites:
www.goole.com
Portal for the town and port of Goole.
www.googles.com
A site about the Googles from Goo
www.goggle.com
This typo must be the most common one, since the site is a pop-up hell (also the reason why I don't link). It also shows there can be money to get (and maybe a whole industry) in typos...

Acheron (reminding anyone of ECHELON?) is a new ARG (Alternate Reality Game) - I already signed up here and noticed that I already see everything in a different perspective. Some spam mails suddenly look a bit more suspicious than other, and..."hey, who's that person popping up on MSN Messenger"! And THAT is what ARGaming is all about, if it still has a definition to live up to that is not all watered out by corporate commercialising of this relatively new and inspiring genre.
I will once again link back to the resources unfiction and cloudmakers (with the yahoogroup here)
