Jamie Lynn and Casey - Get Hitched or go to Jail?

Jamie Lynn Spears Casey AlridgeAs if the media hasn’t spent enough time ravaging the metaphorical colon of people across the internet and TV, we arrive at the next stage in celebrity gossip evolution (or Creative Design if you are from Kansas)…the legal battle.

So here it is: Casey Aldridge, a.k.a. Little Spears’ Babby-daddy, is either 17, 18 or 19. Unfortunately, white trash don’t keep good records and for some reason there is a some discussion as to how old he is.

People are looking at Casey’s MySpace page, which has him at 17; his old school records that have him at 19. However, the latter records come from his Principal, who is trying to hold the school yearbooks to make extra money. It’s about as trustworthy as the Mitchell Report.

My roommate is pre-law, so here is the $.50 tour:

Facebook Updates “Friend” Section

When Facebook first launched in February 2004, there were three important things that you could do on the site. You could create a profile with your picture and information, view other people’s profiles, and add people as friends. The site also featured ugly dotted borders and strangely aligned labels. Back then, the site was only available at Harvard, so “friends” was really something more like “friends currently attending Harvard.”

Pretty soon, more schools were added. So “friends” became “friends at some colleges.” Later, we added support for alumni email addresses and high schools, so “friends” became “friends that have something to do with some kind of school.” After we had those up and running, we bought a bunch more servers, opened Facebook up to the world, and learned that buying servers is easier than finding a nice place to keep them what we refer to as, “not-on-fire.”

Today Facebook lets us connect and communicate with people that we are connected to in all kinds of ways — friends from school, family members, long-lost high school sweethearts of yesteryear, and weird people. They’re all here.

This all begs the question… what does being friends with someone on Facebook mean today? We pondered this for a while, played some Bogglific, lathered, rinsed, repeated, and then decided that there just wasn’t any single right answer. Read More »
