Morbid, but interesting
I was looking at the news this morning, and there’s a site now called “mydeathspace.com”. It’s basically a giant obituary column, with links to the deceased myspace page. On the one hand, I thought this was a bit morbid, but I picked out one of the deceased and took a look at his myspace page. It was touching really - lots of posts from people just saying they were thinking of him, and miss him.
I guess some people get obsessive about this sort of thing (dieing, and death, and learning about dead strangers). It’s not something that I think I’ll ever look at again, but it was worth looking at once. Thankfully, I don’t have a myspace page, so I won’t have to worry about strangers discussing the details of my death one day.

heard about this via a cnn.com headline but did not really look @ it…. since I am not really into myspace so much I don’t get into it, but the morbid curiosity side of people always takes over (hence the reason CSI is so popular).
I might look but the conference call I am marginally listening to is almost over….
