Subject: URGENT!
It's pretty safe to assume that any email I get with a subject of just "URGENT" is going to be of the lowest possible priority.

Subject: My WebCam :)
Right, just what I need: to watch some useless shut-in pretend to be part of the silent theater. Stile sux!

Subject: $$$ CASH AVAILABLE $$$
Is there any reason to put "$$$" in your mail subject if you're not trying to attract the greedy attentions of the uncautious. Filter it today!

Opting-out of stupid fucking spam email lists is a giant waste of time. It seems like I'm still getting spam from places I've opted-out of four or five times. This policy of sending obscene and insulting crap to everyone unless they specifically (and tediously) request not to is reminiscent of Tell Me Now If You Don't Want To See My Penis.

Sometimes it works, though, and today I was introduced to another, lesser-known form of opt-out for banner ads cookies. They seem to do different things for different ads, but I haven't seen an X-10 wireless camera ad since I set the cookie, and that's worth the price of admission already. What price? Well, you have to find the opt-out link buried deep in the advertiser's website. Fortunately, a right-minded individual is collecting the opt-out link locations on one of his web pages. I got the link through my irc friends, so maybe it was on the news or some shit which makes it totally redundant, but Brett didn't know about it, so there.

Oh yeah - I could start a Donut Shop on Cap Hill (something it sorely needs) for a mere 12K or so. Bring in up to 1200/day! Man, I'm just filling a need. Fresh donuts on the hill. Don't make me walk to Pike Market or Sophie's. I'd almost be willing to buy the equipment, train a guy to manage everything, and put him on payroll, just so I could walk out there and get donuts whenever I wanted. Too bad the days of online delivery of donuts is over.

That's cool. Know what else is cool? Ocean Sunfish. Word!
