Loving My Spam Filter
I’m really liking the way that MT-Bayesian is working out. Not only is it catching spam, but it’s also filtering out the ignorant comments that we all get every so often. You know the type — those comments in which every other word is a curse word, and the rest of the words are misspelled.… Continue reading Loving My Spam Filter
Yahoo! Mail Spam Explosion
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
This Teacher Needs a Beat Down
Why would you say some dumb shit like this to a 9-year old? Much less a Black 9-year old: The mother of a black Queens girl yesterday pressed for the transfer of a white PS 35 teacher who made a racial “joke” about the gorilla pictured on the girl’s folder. Rachelle Hogans-Blair said the city’s… Continue reading This Teacher Needs a Beat Down
Reggae, the Next Big Ting?
Madison is predicting that reggae (dancehall) is on the rise. I’d love to see it happen but I feel a sense of déjà vu. Didn’t we go through this about 10-15 years ago (damn I’m getting old) when Shabba Ranks, Buju Banton, Supercat, Cutty Ranks, KRS-ONE, etc. were doing their thing? And let’s not forget… Continue reading Reggae, the Next Big Ting?
Kobe Swings Back at Shaq…
These sound like straight-up fighting words to me! You have to give Kobe credit for not backing down from Shaq. Here’s the transcript of Jim Gray’s interview of Kobe:
Rules of Acquisition
A post about Star Trek: Enterprise over at S-Train Canvass reminded me that I’ve been meaning to do this post of the Ferengi’s Rules of Acquisition. Enterprise has gotten better this season but it still can’t compete with Deep Space 9 (DS9) or The Next Generation. The best things about DS9 were that Avery Brooks… Continue reading Rules of Acquisition
Shaq & Kobe Feuding Again
Looks like the Lakers may be unravelling already. Shaq wasn’t too happy with Kobe’s play the other day and let it be known: O’Neal and Bryant seemed to be interacting comfortably Sunday on the practice floor, sharing the ball freely during an afternoon workout. Then they traded nasty verbal jabs after the session — arguably… Continue reading Shaq & Kobe Feuding Again
Upcoming Atlanta Concerts/Shows
Heads up ATL crew! There are some great concerts jumping off the next week or so. I’d love to hit them all but I’ll likely have to miss some of the ones I want to see. Unless I find a hook-up. 🙂 At the top of my list are: Barbarito Torres @ Variety Playhouse tonight… Continue reading Upcoming Atlanta Concerts/Shows
?uestlove Breaks it Down
The Believer Magazine has an excellent interview with Ahmir ‘?uestlove’ Thompson of the Roots. If you’re a hip-hop fan I highly recommend it. Read it to find out: why crack is responsible for hip-hop if ?uest is ‘dried out’ on hip-hop why he keeps buying the same records multiple times details about the afro… bruh… Continue reading ?uestlove Breaks it Down
