Well, this is certainly a different way to expand beyond a day job as a paralegal:
"Before the public saw the faces or learned the names of the victims from last week’s Virginia Tech massacre, thousands of college students across the country were already starting to mourn the dead at a Web site called MyDeathSpace.com.
"Created in 2005 by Mike Patterson, the 25-year-old San Francisco paralegal says he started MyDeathSpace with the aim of creating a cautionary tool that could show teenagers, with stark and brutal honesty, how other kids their age were dying in their area (namely through car accidents, drunk-driving-related crashes, drug overdoses, etc.)."
