MySpace occupies a strange place in my Internet world. I like being able to get in touch with people I haven't talked to in a long time -- everyone is on MySpace -- but I hate feeling compelled to post public "comments" and respond the occasional person who feels slighted if they're not in my "top 8".

So, I've side-stepped the whole issue and made a profile that funnels communication into my normal email account, where it should be. Results here: http://www.myspace.com/obeyeater.

This also allows me to link directly to my picasaweb account and normal weblog, without using MySpace's amateur implementation of the same things. A little CSS goes a long way.
