Got the Net? Then there is a web site for you! [•] The MPAA, RIAA, and NMPA are suing Scour.com. We knew it was coming. [•] Visa USA, Cisco, and Sun Microsystems have joined together to create the largest private financial network. [•] How the “dot-nots” compete.

[•] Lucent will be spinning off an IPO, Softcom and Interactive Video Technologies are merging, and MSN Messenger 3 is out (it supports Net2Phone, Internet paging, and you don’t have to sign up for a Hotmail account). [•] The new Internet Explorer beta is being tested and it can handle cookies. Nice stuff. [•] A man was reporting reckless drivers to the police and then one of them hit him while still on the phone. [•] Jason and Mark Vogt have been accused of more sexual abuse charges. [•] Muggings, burgalries, and golf clubs… oh my. [•] A scooter company has won $500,000 from the Spice Girls. [•] Brace yourself: 3rd Base is back (oh my God). [•] Pearl Jam has been blamed for the Rockslide Festival deaths. Sure, it’s always the bands fault not the actual people pushing and acting like assholes. [•] SeemsLikeSalvation News is reporting Marilyn Manson’s Holy Wood release as October via confirmation by John 5 and that the new A Perfect Circle single will be Hollow (it will include a live cut of Hollow and the remix of Judith by Danny Lohner).

It’s not that she is a bad person, but I just don’t agree with 99.9% of what she believes and 50% of what she does. I just don’t like that part of her. I really think she hurts Azazel more then she helps her, but she doesn’t want to believe that because that’s her mom. So I have to respect my wife’s wishes. Honestly, I’m not too happy about any of this, but our future child needs a place to live and my mom just doesn’t have the room, but my mother-in-law does. Ultimately what would make me happy is a place of our own, but that is off a bit (1 or 2 years). Everyone tells me I should bite the bullet and do what’s best for my child. But I ask you is the best exposing our child to what I worst abhor in a person? I don’t know… I just don’t know anymore.
