Spam knows me a bit too well

Subject line from today. Refreshingly straightforward. Disturbingly familiar. “You have not had sex with a Russian girl? Come to us and you shall have it!”

Thoughts for this morning

Twitter: I really want to use Twitter to comment on Twitter suffering a denial-of-service attack. That isn’t happening. I wonder if the attack is actually that impressive, or if it’s just taking advantage of something about Twitter’s setup? NetNewsWire and Google Reader: If you like to get your feeds through a desktop client, but still want to have access to them elsewhere, NetNewsWire 3.2 Beta now syncs with Google Reader. Apparently Newsgator is confident enough in it to shut down their own online feed reader. I’m not sure whether I prefer it to Google Reader, or how well it works yet. (I can confirm it downloads the feeds. I haven’t tested the syncing beyond that, however.) ...

Seriously, that dude had some weird spiky hair going on. ...

Inaugural Address of President Barack Obama, 20 January 2009

My fellow citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because we the people have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears, and true to our founding documents. ...

To have survived all that...

Blurb on Yahoo’s front page today, about the oldest man in the U.S. dying: George Francis lived through both world wars and the election of the first black president. Actually, the article is neat, since it points out he voted for FDR and Obama, but I was struck by the choice of chronological touchstones. :)
