Grrr. Some spammers have my old mbhs.edu address and are using it as the From header on their spam. This has been going on for a while, but apparently now they’ve been hit with virii, and my mbhs.edu is getting thoughtful messages from sysadmins advising me that I’ve been infected (because they’re receiving viral attachments, ostensibly from me). Bleh.

People are using iPods as portable software-theft devices, according to this Wired article. (There’s a Dallas angle, too:)

Unsure whether the kid was a thief or an out-of-uniform employee, Webb watched as he left the store. “I thought there’s no point in getting any more involved in this imbroglio,” Webb said. “Besides, this is Texas. You never know what he might have been carrying.”

(PS: The article mentions iPodlounge, which I must admit is a pretty slick site.)

I had seen a reference to the chilling effects clearinghouse recently, but Ingrid reminded me that I wanted to post it. (Word to the wise: Any mention of the DMCA in my presence will pretty much whip me up instantly into frenzy, in much the same way mention of Russell’s paradox will disorient and anger Amar like a cornered animal.

I just thought you’d be disturbed to know that I had a strange dream involving you, your wife, and Jamie Oliver (aka, the Naked Chef).

Have a nice day.

Yes, disturbed!

News for the morning: (1) Ice-cold water this morning. I feel miserable. (2) 8:30 meeting again today. (3) The Internet seems to be broken today; I mean, what kind of world is it where AlterSlash is down? (4) This link is just for Chris. (5) Everyone seems to be linking to the BlogSisters today (or was this yesterday’s meme? It’s so hard to keep track).
