Sign up to read my real blog

My regular blog is by invitation only. In order to receive an invitation, you must leave a comment on this blog, including the following information:

1. your name - no initials or aliases, you're gonna have to leave your real name, first and last;


2. your email address, which is how you will receive your invitation;


3. your email address, again, because there have been typos in some of the sign-ups;


4. your email address a third time as a tie-breaker between the first two;


5. your IP address, which you can find out by going to whatsmyip.org; and


6. how you found out about my blog.

You will need a Blogger or OpenID account to leave a comment here, and you will need it on the real blog as well. None of the comments on this blog will be published, obviously, however your personal information will be retained so I can hold you accountable if you make a nuisance of yourself on the other blog.

If you are related to me, you will not get an invitation. I will get a new family-oriented blog going, as soon as I can think of a format.

Anyone with an IP anywhere in Canada's territories, except Megan and Natalie, will also provide the following:

1. the name of your employer;


2. your job title;


3. your work and home phone numbers;


4. your SIN;


5. all the information on your birth certificate;


6. a statement authorizing the author of this blog to publish all your personal information or use it in any other way I see fit, including to your detriment;


7. and a convincing statement of why you should be trusted to read my blog.

Again, your personal information is my hostage to ensure your continued good behaviour. Submitting this information, however, does not guarantee that I will invite you to my blog.
