Saw a USPS TV commercial that ended with a slogan “a simpler way to ship”. Given my displeasure with USPS, I’d like to complete the slogan as:
A simpler way to ship, not a simpler way to deliver!

Free Starbucks WiFi for AT&T customers
Woohoo, according to this link, us AT&T DSL customers can access free WiFi from Starbucks starting May 1st!
I wonder if this service extends all the way to Singapore, in which I will be vacationing for 2 weeks? Or maybe Taiwan for that matter? Guess “nation wide” refers to US.

SQL injection attempts
One of the comment spams caught by Akismet today had this as commenter name:
‘ AND 1=0) UNION SELECT 1 FROM wp_users WHERE user_login=’admin’ /*
Another one went like this:
Gen Drebery’,’deber@gmail.com’,”,’63.2.12.45′,’2008-01-25 19:34:54′,’2008-01-25 19:34:54′,”,’0′,’Internet Explorer’,’comment’,’0′,’0′),(’0′, ”, ”, ”, ”, ‘2008-01-26 19:34:54′, ‘2008-01-26 19:34:54′, ”, ’spam’, ”, ‘comment’, ‘0′,’0′ ) /*

I first read about [...]

I haven’t cared for Miss World, Miss Universe, or Miss Space-Time-Continuum since the early 90’s, but this blog entry caught my attention while I was clearing through my RSS subscriptions:
China wins Miss World
I had always thought that ladies from English-as-Nth-language countries would never win in westerners-sponsored-and-therefore-favored beauty pageants. (India is not exactly a typical [...]

Transformers trailer number 2
Transformers trailer number 2 is now available and it’s totally awesome! Watch the low-res streaming version if you are impatient to wait for the HD versions, but the wait is worth it. I had some trouble playing the HD QuickTime version until I downloaded the official player from Apple.com.

Thank You for Smoking
I just finished watching “Thank You for Smoking” and have one word to describe this comedy: smart! This is an upfront, funny movie that, as the DVD extra explains, “does not apologize for itself” and yet gets the points across. It’s refreshing to see something that throws political correctness out the window and [...]

QWERTY Warrior the game
I practiced my typing skills with QWERTY Warrior the Flash game and quite enjoyed every second of the few minutes I spent. The objective is to type the enemies to death before they come close enough to inflict damage on your dude. There are power-ups and bombs to collect via, what else, more [...]
