Conversation with Spammer (Vol. 1, Issue 1)

December 9th, 2008 — 4:50pm

Andrew, at one point, had gotten into a very entertaining conversation with a spammer.  I thought it was hilarious (we had also read some online).  I VOWED to wait until I got one through to my personal email account, and it has!  BEWARE LINK IS A GOOGLE NOTEBOOK LINK TO PORN! The email follows:

From: Galen Eaton
To: A crapload of People
Subject:Take her to the seventh heaven grow

I decided to have some fun! Here’s my reply:

Dear Galen,

I really like your haiku!  I was trying to interpret its meaning.

“Seventh Heaven Grow” sounds like a garden that you would like to take your significant other to (may I suggest Strawberry fields in Central Park, NYC?) and “not house cheer smell floor” tells me that you are unhappy with her housekeeping duties? Taking her to a garden sounds like a great idea to get her motivated with housework.  Kudos to you!

I noticed you included a large group of us here.  I’m glad to see that you are making more friends.  Although be careful, I hear there are a lot of creepy people on the Internet.

I clicked on the link you sent me.  Is that a picture of your wife or girlfriend (whom I bet inspired the poem) naked?  I might add - she is LOVELY and the photos are very tasteful.

I noticed you use google notebook. I LOVE Google notebook. The link your page took me to required a credit card to sign in.  As I’m sure this is an error, I hope you provide me with some credentials to view more pictures of you and your family.

So how have you been?

Best Regards!


Edwin Soto

I’ll let you know if I get a reply back.  *crosses fingers* HERE’S HOPING!

What the heck is a scrobble?

December 5th, 2008 — 10:59am

We all grew up with an assortment of musical styles and have developed our own taste at or around our teenage years.  I have been haphazardly throwing around the word scrobble in casual language not realizing some of you have no idea what I’m talking about.  Frankly, just over a year ago, I didn’t know what it was either.

At first, when Andrew mentioned the idea behind the scrobbling service, Last.fm, I was curious but ultimately not interested in any of this whatsoever.  Honestly, I just didn’t see myself seeing any benefit to me.  Obviously, I have changed my tune (no pun intended).  I have used other cool services, such as Pandora, Playlist, etc and was just not excited about the prospect of this idea of scrobbling.

This picture (my stumble upon settings) made me realize I may be a tiny bit geeky:

So I lied a little…

I couldn’t stand seeing the site in sandbox mode - so I decided to work on it OFFLINE.  Hope you like the new theme: its pretty nice and simple. The link for this theme (Blass) is on the bottom of the site.

What’s in the Apple iPhone 2.2 Update Anyway?

November 22nd, 2008 — 4:44pm

I truly didn’t know what was in the update and was a bit out of the blogophere, but here’s what iTunes conviniently gave me:

iPhone 2.2 Software Update

This update contains many bug fixes and improvements, including the following:

• Enhancements to Maps
   - Google Street View
   - public transit and walking directions
   - display address of dropped pins
   - share location via email

• Enhancements to Mail
   - resolved isolated issues with scheduled fetching  of email
   - improved formatting of wide HTML email

• Improved stability and performance of Safari

• Podcasts are now available for download in iTunes application (over Wi-Fi and cellular network)

• Decrease in call set-up failures and call drops

• Improved sound quality of visual voicemail messages

Some of these are “convinient” but others are WOW - I’ll finally get the share location via email, and finally get to get podcasts over the air.  These are pretty sweet.

AHH This site is Sandboxed!

November 17th, 2008 — 2:02pm

I just changed my theme to a sandbox theme that I will be modifying from time to time.  I got this idea from Ken, who I ‘think’ is still doing this?

So if you visit the site from time to time and see it change, I’m probably working on it!  I encourage you to use RSS anyway, and if you don’t know what RSS is check out this very cool video describing how to use RSS:

Freaky Show on Sci-Fi

September 24th, 2008 — 6:10pm

As much as I love BSG, I hate to think that other horrible shows are on this network.  This clip shocked me that a show would have such little tact - I wont even spoil it for you….enjoy ‘Scare Tactics’

This reminds me SO much of that Dave Chapelle Skit ‘Zapped!’

Zapped - Funny video clips are a click away
