Email spammers getting dumber?

This must be a case of the poor fellow getting his account hijacked. If not..  If not then spammers are getting lazier. Notice the red regions.. First, spammer, maybe take an extra 30 seconds and shorten your obviously misleading link. Not only does it point to sharecash but it shows that you intend for us [...] Read More

Running Reality Server for the first time on Windows 7

So, I don’t know how long I’ll be be able to leave this up but I’m setting it up on Linux now and will have some more to see in the next couple days.

New technology enables self-publishing and saves ‘real’ book lovers

Hurray! For those of us who cannot cope with not holding a real book in our hands while we lose ourselves in story land should rejoice at this promising new product. For a meager 120k you too can own your own Espresso Book Machine and never fear of having to read your favorite authors or deathly boring technical manuals (for those of us who –do- RTFM) on your ipad again! And for authors! Now anyone can dust off their script, screenplay, novel, propaganda, pamphlet and have 100 pages of high quality book produced in under five minutes. Keep in mind that 100 pages is just an example, not a limit.

“For those who do not have a built-in market to sell their books but still want to give self-publishing a try, the Espresso Book Machine is a less expensive option. Printing a book at Oscar’s costs $3 plus three cents per page, and an initial setup fee of $99. A 100-page book costs $5.99 to print. “

Ok, but how is this different from a 10,000$ laser printer he wonders.. ;) Have a look at the full article from the Vancouver Sun below, it also talks about Amazon.com ‘s print on demand service which looks pretty cool as well..

How many of us at this moment, wish more than -absolutely- anything, that we could quit smoking right this instant? I do. Cigarette smoking is just as or more addictive than heroin.. Does raising the prices, changing the names and hiding them out of sight in the variety store change anything? Not much. Has anything [...] Read More

Here’s an interesting, haunting, offbeat track that I caught after a movie the other night. It stuck with me. Edit: I guess I should say more. The themes in the video are Vengeance, taking responsibility for ones’ actions, that sometimes we cannot escape our fates.. the video is short and to the point with expressive [...] Read More
