Spammin' Scott

ח׳ בניסן ה׳תשס״ד (Tuesday 30 March 2004)

On the Daily Show they’re doing a segment about a spammer named Scott Richter. The email address they gave for him is scottrichter422@yahoo.com I figure it can’t hurt to post it here, since google’s bot visits frequently enough.

Can't breathe

ז׳ בניסן ה׳תשס״ד (Monday 29 March 2004)

At work we’re getting a new phone system installed. The new phones have been sitting on our desks, next to our old phones, since last week. Today some functionality was added to the new phones.

The meeting went pretty well. The crowd was definitely larger than I expected, but demographically it was predictable: lots [...]

כ״ב באדר ה׳תשס״ד (Monday 15 March 2004)

On the Daily Show just now, Jon Stewart was making fun of a recent riot in the Korean Congress with the senior Senator from New York, when Mr. Schumer said that it’s happened here too – in 1860. He further reported that “someone” beat “Sumner” with a cane, but couldn’t name who it was or [...]
