Please Rob Me
Hey, do you have a Twitter account? Have you ever noticed those messages in which people tell you where they are? Pretty annoying, eh. Well, they’re actually also potentially pretty dangerous. We’re about to tell you why.
The danger is publicly telling people where you are. This is because it leaves one place you’re definitely not… home. So here we are; on one end we’re leaving lights on when we’re going on a holiday, and on the other we’re telling everybody on the internet we’re not home.
The goal of this website is to raise some awareness on this issue and have people think about how they use services like Foursquare, Brightkite, Google Buzz etc. Because all this site is, is a dressed up Twitter search page (link). Everybody can get this information.

It’s not that John Hughes, and it’s not John Hughes
As a cold wind blew across Forest Hill Cemetery on Whitten Road on Tuesday morning, Dr. Lisa Funte peered into a newly unearthed brown steel casket that just 30 minutes earlier had been 6 feet beneath a headstone marked “John G. Hughes.”
Funte, an assistant medical examiner, then turned toward a small group of onlookers and solemnly announced: “It’s a female.”
Hughes was mistakenly cremated instead of buried, and the body of Billie Sue Smith then was stripped of all identification and buried in Hughes’ plot instead of being cremated, said Oliver Ewing, a former embalmer at High Point.
