About 2 days ago, I started to receive spam for mortgage refinancing. The thing that made it stick out was that it was sent to me with my dad's name and the actual correct address. I know it is not too complicated to do, but I was shocked at how it connected the name to the email address. After 3 or 4 hours of watching it come in nonstop, I researched the source daleqhay.biz and contacted the registrar (neulevel.biz) for that address. I said [...]

I should be watching the debate, you know "hard work", "flip flops" and all, but this is just hilarious so I had to post it. Ironic how I can almost relate to it. Two guys are having an instant messenger fight. (note: Quicktime movies opens, rated G, don't [...]

I was thinking about something and for some random reason typed 'india' into google. The first link was puzzling. I got the CIA - The World Factbook -- India. One would have to wonder how that got to be the first link? :-) (Please don't take that too seriously). [...]

Okay, I'm giving out Gmail invites. I know most people probably already have one by now. However if you're still desperately searching or you don't know any geeky friends, you're welcome to get one from me. Get 'em while they're hot! Don't reply to this post. Just use my contact link on the side. 9/7: Still have a bunch. [...]

Thanks to fellow Indian blogger Prasenjeet Dutta, I can now join the "geek elite" and say I have a (highly coveted) Gmail account. So far I haven't really tried anything out. The 1GB of space seems really nice. The thing I'm most pleased about is that I got the login name I desired. Without giving out the address, I want to see if it will accumulate spam like both Yahoo and Hotmail do. So now I have another email to check. [...]

I don't know how to say it in any other words. Sometimes people are stupid. Apparently Google is now anti-semitic: MEGA SEARCH engine Google has been hit by complaints that its search engine is anti-Semitic. It all started when Steven Weinstock, a New York real estate investor and former yeshiva student, did a Google search on "Jew". The first site he got was Jew Watch, which looks at alleged Jewish conspiracies, Nazi literature and other anti-Semitic topics, under headings such as "Jewish Controlled Press" [...]

Checking Yahoo Mail I find this. Idiot spammers think that idiot internet users will fall for their gimmick if their message looks legitimate. Isn't it a bit obvious that messages repeating twice in your inbox fall into the questionable category? This sender probably hit the send button twice. I didn't check to see if they originated from the same source. I deleted them immediately. I hope everyone realizes that any spam email you open may bring you more spam or worse infect your computer [...]

A girl from Belgium I met on the internet said she hated blogs. Why? Because she thought they were just the current fad. Although I know she was wrong, I do agree that the vast majority of subject matter in most blogs is inconsequential. Outside of technology related and politics related blogs, the remaining multitude are "personal diaries". I am a fan of these diaries, no matter how asinine or fickle they come across. I say this only because each of these particular blogs [...]
