BIG news!

Who of you thinks they have more than enough online accounts? I definitely do, and I don't see them getting any less. I certainly don't keep track of all of them, and created some just to check out something or to take advantage of some one-time type thing. So who knows how many I really have and how many have been orphaned. But do I really need an account that collects all my chat accounts? I fail to see the point, and don't like having to trust a company with my collected information in that way. And where will it end? Another account to collect my e-mail accounts? One for the different shopping sites? And then one to keep all of those account-keeping accounts in.

That's why, after realizing that you have to have an Astra account with the latest version of Trillian, which I neither want nor need and prefer to make a decision about autonomously, I decided to switch to Pidgin. And I like it.

Also, this is funny:

I can't even imagine how much people are suffering in Haiti right now, and the fact that the destruction prevents much-needed help to arrive make this so much more tragic. PBS repeated this report yesterday, which serves as a reminder of how wealthy we all are and how much Haitians have already been suffering every day before the recent earthquake.
