Mildly concerned about the fact that there was no way to contact me other than posting a comment, I created a contact page, using Matt Mullenweg's page as inspiration. Unlike Matt, I refrained from adding my cell phone number; I get enough strange messages as it is.

However, an event like the capture of Osama would be important enough that it would be relatively easy to verify. A more [...]
I received an interesting, if almost nonsensical email message, claiming to be from SPAMIS, or the Strategic Partnership Against Microsoft Illegal Spam (there is a website at spamis.cc, but it seems to be defunct; Google cache). The contents of the email consisted of various quotes from Mike Lyman, who the email describes as the "Microsoft [...]
