There is a lot of spam that is redundant, boring, droll, or just all of the above. Every now and then I get one that I do like. Today was a beauty. See if it makes sense to you:
Hello,
Your resume was found on one of the job sites. We examined your candidacy and want to [...]

OK, these campaigns are getting real ugly real fast. Here’s the latest volley:
Well, time to get this straightened out real quick. This isn’t a McCain dirty trick. This is the old fashionest malware ever known. The temptation of sordid sex if all you do is click here. And, being as probably 100,000,000 Americans would love [...]

Am toying with Google’s Chrome browser. So far, I like it. Nothing real fancy. It does however, lean heavily on Google’s search capabilities to make the default blank page a lot more usable than “You’ve opened a new tab”. So far it hasn’t really helped me any, but I think over time and usage, it [...]

Foxnews has this revolutionary breakthrough article:
Imagine being single and finding thousands, tens of thousands — even hundreds of thousands — of other singles out looking for a date.
The landscape of online dating has changed. Once limited to dedicated sites like Match.com and eHarmony, it has expanded to social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace, putting [...]

The guys over at Independent Sources are a bit undone by a bizarre lawsuit filed by Channel Intelligence. It seems the guys at Channel Intelligence have filed a lawsuit over anyone who has developed a wishlist using a database. They however, have not taken on the big boys like Ebay or Amazon. They’re smart enough [...]

Wow. What a vision this guy has:
“The medium is the message, and the medium has invaded our home and taken over our minds. The really scary part is how hypnotic it is. The ‘Net is so pervasive that kids are on it all day.”
Sonnenfeld fears that children today will grow up with “no concept of [...]

That is the amazing conclusion the Pew Internet Project came to. I just have to wonder who thought for one second the inverse of their hypothesis could possibly be true, that teenagers not online could possibly get more contacts via the internet than those that are online?
My experience with parenting a very online fourteen year [...]

I had several videos here hosted by Bolt.com. That’s not good as Bolt shut down yesterday due to bankruptcy. I’ll re-post them later. Really a shame too. Bolt was actually one of the pre-cursors to Myspace, Xanga, and the like. However, they did it several years before social networking caught on. Sometimes, and more often [...]

Not according to Google. As of tomorrow, if you bought a video from Google Video, it won’t work anymore. Just for chucks and giggles, and to amuse my son, we “bought” the Choo-Choo episode since he loves trains. We watched it and watched it. As of tomorrow, I’ll have to tell him Google won’t let [...]
