2007 Update

Sorry.. havent posted in a bit. Just been busy with travel and such. Thus, here's a quickie update on things that you probably don't need to know, but I'll tell you anyway.

1) Spam Spam Spam. Down below I have a post about how mailinator hit a new high of like 3million emails a day and that spammers must be going wild. Well, they're going wilder - I saw 4.7 million the other day with one hour's surge heading for 6.1 million. Woot!

2) I am *not* hot enough. Ever see www.hotenough.org? Its a dating site for people 18-35 who are, well, "hot enough". Basically you send in 3 pics and if the admins approve you, existing members then vote on your hottageness. You need 8 out of 10 from 25 votes to get in. Well.. firstly I'm not 35 (so I lied) but I am also NOT hot enough!!!! Only scoring a paltry 5.5/10 after 10 votes. Ugh.

3) After reading this article I doubt I'll ever do business with NetZero, AOL, Bluemountain, classmates.com, etc. I hate companies that do this junk. I just cancelled 2 credit cards (to get some decent cashback ones) and I must say, I expected a fight and didn't get one. Kudos Amex and Chase.

4) For those that don't know it (which means you don't know me) - I am in the Vanguard beta. Its a new MMORPG by Brad McQuaid, the creator of the original Everquest. And... all i gotta say is .. uhoh. Here we go again. This looks really good.

5) Google got voted the best company to work for by Fortune. Irrespective of this article, I am perpetually amazed at how great of a place this is to work.
