Live Journal blogger has mother killed
November 30, 2004 | By Duncan | Filed Under News
This is a story that has been floating around for a while in the blogosphere but we’ve been a little sceptical of its authenticity until an AP wire confirmed the story.
Rachelle Waterman, a 16 year old Live Journal blogger of Ketchikan, Alaska, has been charged with 1st degree murder following the killing of her mother, according to the criminal complaint laid in the Craig District Court.
Her mother, 48-year-old Lauri Waterman, was found barbequed in a burning van following the solicitation by Rachel of two extremely stupid boyfriends to knock her off.
Her last post to her blog (since removed) indicated that her mother had been murdered and the police where about to seize her computer, however she gave no indication of her role in the conspiracy.
Glassdog alleges that the plot arose from her mothers wish to send her to fat camp.
We say there is a worrying trend emerging amongst Live Journal users.

A BIG Reason to Read a Pet’s Blog
May 16, 2008 | By Andrew G.R. | Leave a Comment
I’ve often taken a snarky approach when it comes to people who set up blogs for their pets. I barely want to read about humans’ mundane lives, let alone issues with litter and pooper scoopers. However, there might be a new reason to subscribe to Lucky, Fido or Buddy’s blog.
Animals’ ability to prognosticate […]

Inquisitor is a cool plugin for Safari, and now Yahoo owns it. The developer, David Watanabe, won’t be joining Yahoo, but will continue the development.
I look forward to assisting Yahoo! in refining and extending the Inquisitor user experience beyond where it is today. I truly believe that Inquisitor and its users can only benefit, both […]

Google the New Number 1 in the US

I thought they were already, but obviously not so. Google has been the leading search engine, but overall Yahoo is the most popular web site according to ComScore’s rankings. No more though, according to an AP report:
According to comScore, Google’s unique U.S. audience in April was 141.1 million, an 18 percent increase from the same […]

Stephanie Stockman is a NASA contractor working at the Goddard Space Flight Center, which is cool by itself.
