Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr!

On this day, July 7 in 1940, Richard Starkey, better known to the world as Ringo Starr, was born.  Today Ringo turns 70 years old!  We wish him a happy birthday and it will be spent playing a sold out show at New York’s Radio City Music Hall.  Speaking of Radio City Music Hall, the above picture was taken by me a couple of years ago at that very venue, when I had the great fortune to see Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr play on the same stage at the same time!  It was mind blowing and it is a night I’ll never forget.  Happy Birthday Ringo and thanks for giving us so much great music!

From now on, According2g.com will be just like every other website.  Here’s a summary of the changes:

-Instead of attending events in person and writing about them, I’ll just surf other websites and copy their insights.

-Instead of providing original photos, I’ll just steal them from major news agencies.

-Instead of trying to get people interested in new artists and music, I’ll just spread gossip and hateful messages like other sites.

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!  I’d never do any of those things. You’ll only see original content, original photos and original insights on this website.

Thanks for reading and don’t get fooled by impostors!

Have y’all heard of Chatroulette?

If you haven’t, it’s a site where you enable your webcam, go to the site and randomly chat with other people that are also on their webcams.  If you don’t like the person that shows up when you start chatting, just click the shuffle button and someone new will appear.

Sounds interesting and frightening all at the same time.

Do you use the site?  Tell us about it.

Update:  I tested it out… It’s definitely not for the squeamish, but totally amusing!

Update 2:  My friend (who shall not be named) sent me a parody Chatroulette site that might be better than the real thing.  Some of the images might not be safe for closed-minded people so use caution when proceeding.  And click here for that link.

Ever since my Facebook account was hacked and subsequently deleted, the world is missing my hourly status updates.  Yes, I’ve sent appeals to the gods of the ‘book, but unless you hold their children for randsom, it’s virtually impossible to get a reply.

Without having to nag my Facebook friends to come look at the coolness on my blog, I’ve noticed a huge spike in readership since I’ve been removed from the anti-social networking site.  I thank you all for that (including the evil hacker who has made the last week a not-so-fun learning experience for me and everyone I’ve ever emailed in my entire life).

If you build it, they will come.

A live customer support team at G-Mail, Hotmail and Facebook. 

Sending help-desk tickets to huge institutions such as these and waiting for replies is so 2007.

If you are getting an email from me that is called “My Predicament,” it’s a scam.  Somehow all of my accounts have been hacked.

I am working on fixing this as soon as I can.
