Random noise, incoherent thoughts, whatever.
Either someone made a mistake, or standards have been lowered significantly or I am officially somebody.
Today I received an “exclusive” pre-screened invitation for a Visa Black Card from the Barclays Bank of Delaware.
If it wasn’t for the $495 annual fee, I’d be flattered.
Thanks, but no thanks.

Circuit City went bankrupt and is no longer operating. Its assets are being sold piece by piece to the highest bidder.
It turns out one of those assets is its customer list. It’s being sold as is, with all the contact information, including email addresses.
Let me be absolutely clear. You can not buy mailing lists without becoming a spammer. Any email campaigns addressed to that list by the buyer will be spam. You will be automatically labeled as a spammer, you will be blacklisted and blocked by the recipients of your spam. I’m sincerely hoping organizations like SpamHaus will block you on first sight of any email to the Circuit City customer list.
I have a unique Email address on that list. I will know exactly who bought the list the first time it’s going to be used. I suspect others will too.

I am an information junkie.
My Google Reader account has 19 different categories of RSS feeds with upto 6 feeds each. I add feeds regularly. I scan every title of every RSS post on every feed I subscribe to every day. And I’m loving it. I learn something new and find new entertaining things on the Internet every day.
Tim Malbon’s interesting blog post at Made by Many reads like an information junkie’s manifesto. I am a Serendipitist.
Bernie Madoff’s sentencing hearing is over. The judge threw the book at him and gave him the maximum allowable sentence of 150 years in jail.
And here I thought rich people always get away with it.

It’s over. The Formula One Teams’ Association has announced they’re planning on starting their own racing series and separating ties with FIA and Formula One.
Congratulations FIA, Bernie Ecclestone, Max Mosley and the rest of the clowns running Formula One. You’ve managed to destroy one of the most storied sports franchises in the world with your greed and uncompromising dicktatorshiplike manner in which you run Formula One. Fuck you.

A great catastrophe has struck the country. Three million households are unable to receive TV advertising.
It is refreshing to see the Government working so effectively to address dire needs of its citizens. The efforts to plan for, prepare and execute plans to mitigate negative affects of this national catastrophe are truly inspirational.

I get all kinds of spam. That happens when your email address has been all over the Internet for more than 10 years. This guy, however, needs to get another job. Scamming people by spamming them does not seem to be his forte. See for yourself.
