12/26/07 - This Greenwich Police Department Theroy Has Prevented The Police Department For Solving This Murder For 18 Months.

Police Brass have been sticking to this lame brain theory that the 16 million dollar swindler Andrew Kissel hired a guy to tie his hands and feet in Flex Cuffs, pull his T-shirt over his head and then be stabbed four or five times in the back, because he couldn't bring himself to commit suicide.

12/26/07 - Unpaid Property Taxes - Cars Registered Out Of State

When is Greenwich going to start doing something about all the unpaid car taxes in Greenwich.

About 20 to 30% of the cars in Greenwich are registered out of state.

This is a huge loss of revenue that hurts everything especially the kids in underfunded and poorly maintained schools.

12/24/07 - A Christmas Wish For Justice - How To Slove The Unsolved Murders Of Greenwich

Maybe Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg should hire disgraced Los Angeles Detective Mark Furman to come solve this 18 month old Kissel murder and then write a second book about it.

Then maybe Police Chief David Ridberg can let disgraced Los Angeles detective go solve the murder of that poor little boy in the Pemberwick section of Greenwich.

The Port Chester Police Department, The Rye Brook Police Department, The Rye City Police Department doesn't have all of these unsolved murders laying around.

Why does the Greenwich Police Department have all of these unsolved murders?

12/24/07 - The Police Department Is All Talk And No Action

For over one week I have had a call into the Police Official who is responsible for Western Greenwich. Radio host Sam Romeo suggested I call this police resource or liaison officer for Western Greenwich.

When I called Mr. Romeo about some of the short comings i saw with how the Police were deployed in Byram he suggested I Call the police official in charge of Western Greenwich.

So I took Mr. Romeo's advice and reached out to make the call.

I have a great deal of respect for Mr. Romeo. He is the reason I decided to put my name out to be on the Byram RTM.

However, Mr. Romeo's close association with some police officials and officers seems to clood his judgment on Police performance in certain areas of Greenwich.

I am sure that the police department returns his phone calls, but Mr. Romeo needs to understand that the average resident in Byram does not have a golden WGCH microphone.

If you have access to a golden WGCH microphone I am sure the police brass are quite cordial.

sincerely,

11/30/07 Read How Mark Zuckerberg Ripped Off Greenwich's Winklevoss Twins. Will Cameron And Tyler Get A Huge Pay Day From Facebook (Updated)

Read How Sleezy Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg Ripped Off Cameron And Tyler Winklevoss of Greenwich

Mark Zuckerberg, the 23-year-old founder and chief executive of Facebook, launched the phenomenally successful social-networking site while he was a sophomore at Harvard. Facebook's forerunner was the somewhat more risqué Facemash, a Harvard version of Hot or Not. Facemash paired random pictures of Harvard undergraduates and invited users to vote on who was more attractive. Setting up Facemash required Zuckerberg to hack into protected areas of Harvard's computer network so he could copy and incorporate dormitory ID images from Harvard's Kirkland, Eliot, and Lowell houses. In response, Harvard's disciplinary administrative board placed Zuckerberg on academic probation.

While he was assembling Facemash, Zuckerberg kept an online journal, and like most college students, he didn't think very hard about who might end up reading it. Now a full-fledged tycoon, Zuckerberg has long since taken his journal offline. But a choice excerpt has been repatriated to the Web by 02138, a magazine directed at Harvard alumni. In the journal (see below and Page 2), Zuckerberg calls one fellow student (name redacted) a "bitch," admits he's "a little intoxicated," and ponders whether he should pair certain photographs from the Kirkland House facebook with "pictures of farm animals." Then he gets to work procuring online copies of student photos: "Let the hacking begin."

This and other documents potentially embarrassing to Zuckerberg that 02138 has also posted online form the basis of an article by Luke O'Brien titled "Poking Facebook" in 02138's November/December issue. Facebook has filed two court motions to compel 02138 to remove the documents from its Web site. "If you're interested," advises executive editor Richard Bradley, "read these things now."

O'Brien's piece focuses on a lawsuit filed against Zuckerberg by founders of the rival site ConnectU. In the lawsuit, ConnectU's three founders, two of whom are Cameron And Tyler Winklevoss of Greenwich, allege that Zuckerberg stole programming codes from their site to create Facebook. The ConnectU founders were seniors at Harvard when Zuckerberg was a sophomore, and they approached him to work on the project with them. Zuckerberg spent some time on it but never completed the work. Instead, he launched Facebook. In a petition to Harvard's administrative board, the three upperclassmen alleged that Zuckerberg stalled them while he incorporated their ideas into Facebook. Zuckerberg replied to this accusation with indignation (Pages 3-5), stating at one point, "I don't have much time to spend fending off peoples' claims to work which is clearly my own." The "ad" board ruled in Zuckerberg's favor. In a deposition for the ConnectU lawsuit (Page 6), Zuckerberg credits an editorial in the Harvard Crimson with inspiring him to develop Facebook's privacy controls.
