RetrophischThis isn’t necessarily an anti-spam measure; it’s more along the lines of revenge. From the latest Dilbert newsletter comes this reader gem:
Here’s a fun hobby of mine: When I get e-mail spam that includes an 800-number, I save the number for later. Then when one of the hundreds of Nigerian scam e-mails hits my e-mail box, I reply enthusiastically and give the 800-number of the spammer as my own. I feel that people in the DNRC have a responsibility to introduce A-holes to each other.
It never ceases to amaze me how people can find ways to amuse themselves, even during times of danger, blood, and death.
This past Sunday I met up with my friend Michael at the Dallas Convention Center for the annual Dallas Auto Show. Not really in the market for a vehicle (at least this year), I concentrated mainly on the new stuff and concept vehicles when snapping photos. I’ve posted everything in this online photo album. Enjoy!
Jon notes that yesterday was Brent Simmons’ birthday, so I’d like to express my best wishes to him as well. NetNewsWire absolutely rocks, I’m becoming a big fan of TigerLaunch (doesn’t hurt its popularity with me that I went to LSU, either), and look forward to trying out Huevos.
I’ve received enough copies of the Bush/Saddam Verizon Wireless spoof graphic. You can stop now. Thanks.
The Lords of the Sith are ripping off Apple with their own commercials.

Belated birthday wishes to friend and fellow ATPM staffer, Eric Blair. So what, you’re old enough to buy beer now, right? ;^)
Hope you had a great one, amigo!
Mars bar, meet Snickers Almond. Snickers Almond, the Mars bar.
Why would a company create a product that not only competes directly with one of its other products, but is nearly indistinguishable from its established product? Or is the Mars bar going to get the boot?

I IM’ed my wife this with the qualifier that it came from Jim and that, yes, we’re total nerds. She heartily agreed.
