New at the Infinite Matrix

December 18, 2001 by Michael Boyle

New at the Infinite Matrix

: an excerpt from Down And Out In The Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow. Cory and I have never met, but I’ve virtually bumped into him online through at least 3 independent channels, and we have at least one friend in common in the flesh. And of course he blogs at Boing Boing, arguably the ne plus ultra among weblogs.

weighs in about spam. I think I’m going to start getting a lot more aggressive about my filtering. And I have to dump what used to be my primary address, but sadly is nothing but a spam-collector now. Hmmm. Maybe I should keep it.

Santa arrested

Santa arrested

! “Canadian police, taking advantage of sweeping new anti-terrorism legislation, arrested Santa Claus on Monday on the grounds that he had a beard, was behaving suspiciously and, in all likelihood, belonged to a underground cell.”

Mr. Dave Winer

Mr. Dave Winer

waded into it again, something he seems to do awfully regularly. This time it’s about his Scripting News Awards. Cam has a problem with it, and there’s a a thread in MetaTalk about the whole thing. Personally, I don’t care about any of the awards for weblogs. SXSW is moderately interesting, but more in a “let’s cheer them all on” way than this or any of the other small “awards” that are handed out each year. At the same time, though, I know that some reaction to this whole thing is going to prompt Dave to write something that makes me cringe. It’s like watching Three’s Company or something – it’s just so predictable.

Cam Barrett put up a great piece about spam and how to fight it. A must-read.
