KEVIN YOU DOLT!

A Minneapolis blogger has discovered why you should never post intimate, if mundane, details of your life on a blog using your honest-to-goodness real name.

Kevin Widmar, owner of PlanetKevin, is horrified that his mother Lillian had, while googling her offspring, stumbled upon his weblog.

'In an e-mail sent to Widmar Monday, Lillian reported in large purple letters that she was "VERY EXCITED :)!!!" to find his "computer diary," but was perplexed that he hadn't mentioned it to her.

If you are a 'Kevin' or you know someone who is, the good people at BLOGGER have kindly compiled a 'What to do if your Mom discovers your blog...' list.

Alas it may be too late for Kevin. Having engaged in such a public freaked out session over his dilemma; even if he does yank the offending post, or heaven forbid the entire blog, his dear mum Lillian will likely find the innumerable references to his gaffe during her next Google search.
