Is it just me or is everybody else getting bombarded with spam on their Yahoo! Mail accounts? It seems like ever since they announced their ‘new spam measures‘ the spam has at least doubled. I’m now getting about 200 spams a day. Every time I go into my account I have to empty the bulk… Continue reading Yahoo! Mail Spam Explosion

ZoneZero
I’ve just come across an amazing photograph collection at ZoneZero. I’ve barely scratched the surface, but here are a few galleries to check out: Time – watch a family grow & age over 28 years Voyeur (not work-safe) – “Many of the photographs gathered here examine the play between voyeur and object of desire. Happily,… Continue reading ZoneZero
Friendster Network Graph
No, that’s not an ink blot. It’s a graph of a Friendster network which was built from the results of a robot crawling that network. I’d love to make one of these for my network(the code is provided). Being able to see the big picture is one of the things that’s sorely lacking from Friendster.… Continue reading Friendster Network Graph

Tribe.net… A Better Friendster
I’ve been poking around at Tribe.net and I like what I saw. It has a more general focus than Friendster and I like the interface better as well. It also allows people to join ‘tribes’ around their interests. For example, a group of skiers could create and/or join a skiing tribe. Here’s some of what’s… Continue reading Tribe.net… A Better Friendster
Link Dump
Here’s some stuff I came across while surfing: All of you wannabe human beat boxes can learn to beatbox via this article and tutorials. Trying to find that special gift for your wife/girlfriend/concubine? Get her some Nipple Huggers. 🙂 This is a spider. This is a spider on drugs. Check out this narcoleptic dog.

Our Great Melting Pot… Not!
There’s an interesting article on Corante about a comparison of Xanga and LiveJournal communities. It shows that “a LiveJournal user picked at random is overwhelmingly likely to be white, while a random Xangan is much more likely to be Asian or Asian-American”, as you can see clearly by the graph. A large part of the… Continue reading Our Great Melting Pot… Not!
