Quickie: Spammers have the coolest names

Posted in quickies, friends, gmail, humor, spam at 1:25 am by admin

A lot of the spam that ends up in my G-mail mailbox comes from people with the coolest names. They all work at The Ultimate Online Pharmaceutical. So far today, I’ve made friends with:

  • Sycamore M. Quintessences
  • Bowditch R. Decreed
  • Marshmallows R. Santiango (my #1 choice for a drag name!)
  • Isolates P. Thins

It’s so nice to have friends.

Gmail: It’s Spam-tastic!

Posted in rants, gmail, spam, web, around the web, email, google at 7:12 pm by admin

Am I the only one who is incredibly disturbed by the fact that Google’s new “Web Clips” feature in Gmail is enabled while I’m browsing my spam folder? As tasty as “Spam Fajitas” and “Spam Primavera” sound, I don’t think that there is much logic in publicizing these recipes next to unwanted emails peddling Viagra and penis enlargement pills. Just an observation.
Gmail and spam
