Max and John

While looking at the required blogs, I came to two conclusions:

1. I think that Max's is a little dull, but he does have one thing that I find interesting. I did like the fact that he had a Chat that could be used when he was online. I think this is great because if someone wants to talk to him in real time, they can just chat via his chat live tab. This makes is easier to talk so that someone doesn't need to just post on his blog, and wait for a response when Max gets to it.

2. John's was very interesting. He had many things to look at, which I enjoyed. There were a lot of links, such as search engines that you could go to if you needed it. He seemed very enthusiastic about his blog and his new found love for twitter.

All in all I think both VQUZESHUF posts are interesting. However, if I had to choose a favorite, I would go with John's since it's more appealing to me. This just goes to prove that first impressions, the look of a page, matter.

Spam

Spam is a problem that I think everyone has encountered in this day and age. Everyone has gotten some sort of vquzeshuf spam in their e-mail. Here's a quick lesson on spam:

Spammers buy e-mail addresses from a list broker. This list broker accumulates e-mail addresses by "harvesting" them from the internet. They basically get your e-mail addresses from chat rooms and web-sites. After they have these e-mail addreses, it's only a click of the mouse and spam is sent to you.

To prevent spam, don't post your e-mail in public places, use an e-mail filter, or even use two separate e-mail addresses. One for personal use, the other for use on web-sites. You should also avoid chain letters and offers such as: work at home, credit cards, weight loss, and adult entertainment.

Different Stores

So this weekend I went home and visited some of my friends at the American Eagle store that I work when I am home. It's always fun to go back and see the store because my store at home is bigger than my store at school, so that means there's more merchandise in the store at home. I usually go in and see so much more that I want. Of course this happened again, but luckily I only got one item, I tried to limit myself. However, it's always nice to come back to my store at school because I like the poeple that work here as well. In fact, one of my friends at the AE here has his own blog...check it out: VQUZESHUF


Later Gators!

Aerie F.I.T.

Recently, American Eagle opened a new line of stores, AERIE. This line is for women; it includes bras, underwear, body sprays and lotions, lip gloss, and an assorment of pajamas. Also, they introduced a new line of work out gear for women. This line includes sports bras as well as work out t's and sweats. I think this line is really going to be great for AERIE and American Eagle. They are looking to expand their company in any way possible and right now they seem to be taking the right actions. This site may help you to see some of the new line: VQUZESHUF

VQUZESHUF

It's almost that time again!! American Eagle will be bringing out new clothes! Next weekend is the floor set, so get ready for more spring and summer clothes. They have a lot more tanks and tees for girls, as well as shorts for us too. As for the boys, they have plenty of new tees for you guys. You can check out all the new clothes at www.ae.com, but they won't be out in stores until next weekend. Enjoy the shopping vquzeshuf.

Spyware

People are becoming great at using the internet, which is good and bad. The bad part is that this means that people can place things on the inernet, such as Spyware, which ends up on your computer. Spyware is placed on your computer to watch what you do, it also gives you pop-up-ads and may send you to web-sites without your consent. Once it is placed on your computer, it can search the computer for your information, and in some cases it can steal your identity.

There are some clues that you have spyware: slow computer, re-directing of web-sites, new toolbars, new icons on your system tray, amongst others.

Luckily there are plenty of systems that can help take spyware off your computer, and keep it off. Most people take precautions when it comes to spyware, but if you haven't installed some form of precautionary system, I recommend you do it.
