The Father of Spam
This is an old article - it's a C-Net interview with the "Father of spam". He is reported to be the first person to send out spam (way back in 1994).
I would like to thank him for the following I got today:

1998
I was at this meeting thing today, and they told me that their website hadn't really been touched since 1998. 1998?! That might as well be 1908. That was a long time ago.
Back in 1998, we wore tapered pants, as was the fashion.


TV
I don't watch a lot of tv. I really don't. I am not saying this to sound cool, but I am on a strict 'no tv' diet now that I am unemployed. But I swear, the only thing I ever watch is the Simpsons and Law and Order. The Simpsons, I understand. L&O is a relatively new one for me (since 1998), and it's just always on - any channel. Amazing. And if you've already seen the episode (I have reached that point), it's still better than anything else that is on.
BTW, does anyone out there actually watch normal network TV? I don't. Who does? Who watches all this crap?
Just wondering.

Scientology
Religion. That is always a good topic to talk about. Hee.
There has been some interesting press about this anti-scientology website and the efforts of scientologists to shut it down (and to get Google remove the site from their database).
The site has some copyrighted documents that belong to the church, and the church is using the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act to get the host to shut the site down.
Interesting.
Scientology has always seemed to be the creepiest of all religions. (did I just piss off my Scientology readers? Sorry.) I base this mainly on John Travolta being a member.

This is the actual website in question: xenu.net


The Radio
New tunes on the radio. I swear. New. Lots of new. Maybe 70% of it is new.
Don't believe me?
Wanna fight?


Hold Tight Monkey
That new "John Smith went to the Zoo" feature... let me say this: I know they aren't actually monkeys. They are chimps (and a gorilla). But, dammit, 'monkey' is a much more fun word.
Monkey!
Monkey!
Monkey!


First Step
Don't you think they we will be looking back at this years from now thinking, "um, we shouldn't had taught those monkeys to ride bikes"
