Email Spam Imitates Fake Life With ASCII Art

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Straight off the heels of Pam’s Dwight Shrute’s ASCII portrait (from The Office in case you’re too good to watch TV), comes ASCII spam. I’m not suggesting that email spam has never used ASCII, but never so ambitious as this. Even the URL is ASCII, making you work even harder ...

This sandwich looks pretty disgusting doesn’t it? Who in there right mind would eat a sandwich with blotches of green mold? Not me, for sure. But alas, this is just a visual trick. I’m not sure how Sherwood Forlee did it, but I can only assume that a green marker ...

Hot Trend for 2008: Bookmarking and Tagging the Social Bookmark Tag Page on the Same Social Bookmark Network

Thursday, December 20th, 2007

The Internet almost came to a halt tonight when I spotted a del.icio.us bookmark of the exact same bookmark feed I was reading. If I had infinite time on my hands, I could have clicked on that link over and over, and gone nowhere fast. Fortunately, I came to my ...
