Comment Spam
I don’t get much comment spam that I have to directly moderate. Most of it is picked up by the wordpress-default comment spam eliminator Aksimet. I get some, though, and the majority is linking to (allegedly) prescription drug or (definitely) sex sites. One in particular has been hitting my moderation queue in the past week. …
Random Podcast!
This is a random sound posting. Don’t listen to it. It’s boring. I’m doing this out of pure ego. I recorded my voice, therefore I must share it with the world.

Airport, checking my morning email, perhaps blogging, but I discovered that, although there are six available wireless networks in Terminal A, all are pay services. …
Open Thread
Lurkers Unite! I know you’re out there. There’s at least two I’m aware of. If you lurk this blog, I demand that you comment, at least so your email address gets into the list-of-emails-with-moderated-comments. Then the next time you comment, you won’t get moderated! Yay! I’ll start it off. Bill Clinton sounded like an elder …
