I get curious and visit http://www.yardley.ca/ and it's just some random guy's blog site..
I don't remember ever visiting this out of the way blog. I dont even read blogs.
(the best I can tell tell, the guy is into "generating leads" and targeted marketing..uh oh)

Anybody have any idea what this might be? or how it even got installed without me knowing?
