How to keep spam at bay

Here’s 2 good ways to keep spam at bay:

Route your email through Google Mail
1- forward all your mail to a Gmail account that you set up
2- Tell Gmail to forward all your mail to a private email address of yours

Or
I pay $1.95/month for the Cloudmark Desktop service (http://www.cloudmark.com/) and it works very well. I think it costs $4/month for new subscribers or you can use my referal code to get it cheaper (http://www.cloudmark.com/?rc=hze4hl). It’s only for MS Outlook or Outlook Express.

Good luck.

I spent New Year’s Eve at the beach

On New Year’s Eve, Charlotte and I went over to Shani and Aaron’s place. A couple of Shani’s friends were there. We played some games… Taboo and Guillotine… with lots of screaming fun. Ion and Sherri came over and we went off to the beach! We worried that it would be cold and windy and… well, whatever an ocean beach might deliver on December 31st.

It was beautiful. There were about 20 other groups with bonfires. As we started our fire, the glistening of the moon off the waves a hundred yards away looked like there was a bright light shining up from under the water. The sky was clear, the waves beautiful, the water tranquil, the company exceptional, the s’mores wonderful!

Banana Phone!

Let this serve as a warning to all who might play Raffi’s Bananaphone song too much.

Now -that- is going to be cool… err dumb… err… Art.
