Oooo I wanna be a spy!
So people always joke around with me when we talk about private investigations stuff. There is typically a common phrase that comes up. ” So you basically get to spy on people?”
Well sort of.
I don’t like to look at it that way but I see my job as a way of helping people and answering questions that they may have.
Now, being a spy? That can be fun. Thrill, excitement, the rush are probably some of the things that come to mind when you think of a spy. This comes to my mind as well.
There are several sites that provide various and even humorous ways to become a spy. Check them out: (Disclaimer: Do your own research)
How to be a spy
One day I want to visit the International Spy Museum.
Call me Bond.. James Bond
Brookstone seems to be doing it right when it comes to innovative products. I don’t know about you but I would LOVE to have these. Wearing these can provide a wifi-hotspot after pairing them with your PC. These would be great for sending information discreetly via your smartphone or tablet.
I have seen other cufflinks that are USB storage keys. They hold up to various amounts worth of data for each cufflink and can really be handy when in a pinch. Here is a list of other cufflinks for you to check out. There are even USB cufflinks that can hold up to 4gb.
Finally Facebook does something about spammers
Washington State and Facebook are finally going after the spammers for clickjacking. It looks like an Ad Network in Delaware is under investigation for Clickjacking and spamming people. Its been reported that they were making up to $1.2 million a month!!
What is clickjacking? Wikipedia says - Clickjacking is a malicious technique of tricking Web users into revealing confidential information or taking control of their computer while clicking on seemingly innocuous web pages.[1][2][3][4] A vulnerability across a variety of browsers and platforms, a clickjack takes the form of embedded code or a script that can execute without the user’s knowledge, such as clicking on a button that appears to perform another function.[5]
If you are wondering what some examples of clickjacking are, just look at Facebook. Have you ever had a video come across your screen and asked you to “omg – watch this video!!” ? Typically its salacious like this example below:
BUT, in order to watch the video you have to take a survey or buy a product. Sometimes you have to turn on your mic or your cam. Other times it tells you that you HAVE TO share on your wall or follow someone on twitter to watch the video. Sometimes it is shared across your wall without your permission.
Here is a great example of clickjacking
Finally Facebook moves forward and does something to stop spammers and criminals. While it may tackle a little bit of spam on our walls, it will take awareness and effort on our part to just stop clicking on stuff.

A new favorite website
So about a week ago I had an opportunity to visit Motorcars of GA in Roswell, GA.
GREAT PLACE! Meeting Ed Bolian was also pretty cool as well. He was very nice and spent a few minutes talking about the cars there. Very knowledgeable and a great salesman. If you got the cash, they got the flash.
More and more I am falling in love with the idea of having an exotic car. There is something about the car itself. Speed, Power, and BadAssness ( is that a word? ) come to mind.
Anyhow check out this ride – with a MPG rating of 9mpg in the city and 19 on the hwy this is an amazing car. This 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo has a bodystyle is a 2 door Coupe and has a mileage of 22,024.
One day.. one day.
