The news tonight filled me with an urge to write a rant about politics and current events. I then got caught up in a book and the urge has safely faded. I can remember the first paragraph's worth, which was mostly crappy introduction about why I don't like to talk about politics, but the rest is gone. It's probably better that way ( Read more... )

I'm scared... it even works.

I keep a small collection of truly treasured spam that I've received. This one, from this afternoon, is definitely a keeper. I've taken a screenshot of the web site it directs you to, since I presume that at least one of the links is a virus, and I don't know what other interesting Internet Explorer bugs it might exploit... the PNG ought to be ( Read more... )

Karma. Or something ( Read more... )

I just got a (potential) customer project which would actually be interesting to work on ( Read more... )
