When I was growing up, one of the annoyances of life in New York City
was squeegee men.
When your car was stopped at a light, these guys would run up, make a few
swipes at your windshield with a squeegee, then look menacing until you
gave them a tip.

I recently came across a copy of
a ruling in the
bizarre case of MySpace vs. theglobe.com.
Theglobe.com was the ultimate dot.com bubble
company. It started up here in Ithaca, and went public at the peak of dot.com
hysteria with one of the the greatest one-day price runups ever.
Since then they bought
and sold a variety of busineses, none of which ever made any money,
including the Voiceglo VoIP service which appears to be what the spam was
promoting.

According to
documents filed with the SEC yesterday, Michael Egan, president
of theglobe.com which owns Tralliance, lent them $250,000 on onerous terms
to keep the company going.
The terms of the loan allow him to increase the amount up to $3,000,000.
It pays 10% interest, assuming theglobe had the cash to pay interest
which is unlikely, and can be converted into stock at one cent per share.
The filings say this loan is to provide working capital while they look
for longer term financing.
