Spouse got a little surprise in the mail the other day, when a couple of different skin care regimens (Proactiv and Hydroderm, in case you’re wondering) arrived with letters declaring him a proud new monthly subscriber to these life-changing formulations. We thought it was a hint from a well-meaning colleague, but a little research found that his credit card number had been lifted, probably from one of the fine online retail establishments we have been known to frequent. Since we both work with technology, we know that online security is an oxymoron, so I’m mostly just surprised that it took this long to happen in our house.

I kindly suggest that Proactiv and Hydroderm (and yes, I’m linking to them to draw their attention) rethink their affiliate policies. Apparently, one can sign up as an affiliate, subscribe a bunch of strangers with a bunch of stolen credit card numbers, and profit from the transaction. Would be happy to discuss, Proactiv and Hydroderm. Drop me a note in the comments here – they’re moderated, so I won’t post it if you’d like to speak offline.

I’ve decided the next experiment, by the way. There are these green produce storage bags that claim to keep fruit and veg fresh for an unholy amount of time. Going to try those guys out. Hopefully, this won’t take months like these rings.

Speaking of… two pics today because I couldn’t get a good angle in one shot.

Sun above, no sun below. Sun looks a little worse for wear to me. Remember, it’s not going to dissolve. I figure it’ll just look the worse for wear and then fall apart when scrunched (technical term) in the hand. Will give that a try when it looks more likely.  Remember, this is supposed to take a couple of months. Which is still a big improvement over a couple of hundred years.
