I’m not sure if I’m reverting back to my childhood or what but I am getting ready to order one of these from a co-worker of mine. I mean… who wouldn’t want a remote control helicopter? Last week I bought a Tyco Stunster which is a pretty cool little toy. Of course, my kids like it also. Here are some pics of my new found fun.
Just going through my daily routine and ran into this:

Geez, is it just me or does it seem to early for it to be Thanksgiving next week. The last few months have flown by. I don’t know if I am ready for the garbage that goes along with the holidays. I already had a taste of it on Sunday. My wife and I were trying to get out of a store’s parking lot, when this So after a bit of waiting, my wife decided to honk her horn, most people waiting for that long would have done it, and I am positive this Anyway there is my rant for the day. An interesting idea was introduced at Slashdot today. Attacking the Spammer Business Model is the idea of flooding the spammer with so many responses that it is no longer equitable for the company to be sending the spam. Anyway… just thought I would pass on the link… I thought it was an interesting approach. Found this today. Looks like something that I will implement. I’m all about easy ways to piss off spammers. Look for it to be in place sometime this week. In an effort to rid the blogging world of spam, many bloggers are raising arms and telling the spammers to leave us the hell alone. One way to do so is to sign the manifesto. I will do my part… but make sure you do to. Good morning, You may not know me. I’m the little guy. You could see me on the street and not even see me. I might even be the guy who asked you what time it was when you were in line to see Matrix: Revolutions. I don’t really matter much to you, or so I thought. You see, until recently I was a fairly peaceful blogger. What’s that? You don’t know what bloggers are? Well, I keep a running tally of stuff I do online on my website. It just so happens that Google likes us bloggers. A lot. So, maybe I’m not such a little guy. Because, you see, I’ve realised who you are. You, my friend, are a spammer. A rather ingenious one, but a spammer nonetheless. You, it seems, have realised the power that bloggers have on Google. So, you’ve decided to take advantage of that power for your own benefit. Sit down and let me educate you. No more. There are more than one million of us. Sure, we’re all little guys, but it’s amazing how creatively powerful we can be. So, hopefully this finds you quickly. Very quickly. Because there is a stir happening among us bloggers to not just start blocking your spam, but to start taking rather serious action against you and people like you. Let me tell you what will happen, just so you are aware: 1. First, we will start blocking your spam more actively 2. We will be posting ‘comment instructions’ which define the legality of posting comments on our sites 3. We will begin to track you down and contacting your ISP’s, hosting companies, domain registration companies and the affiliate programs you are privy to and shutting these down one by one 4. We will begin keeping centralized records of all spam in a central location 5. We will automate and then detonate. Removing the need for us to interfere manually with the process will let us shut you down faster than you can re-register domains and affiliate programs So, you see, this is not a haphazard attempt to change the world. We just want our blogs back. You now have two options. Either you can stop now and find a legitimate online business like selling panties on EBay or we can take it to it’s inevitable conclusion. The choice is yours. Choose well grasshopper. Good luck, A little blogger The funny thing is… I just had to delete a few comments today that I believe was from a spammer. Then I read this over at ensight. I will do my part and get the word out. Believe me, I won’t tolerate spam either, I will block any IP that I believe to be spam. Please pass this letter on.
