Comments Imported

You might have noticed that the “Most Comments” on the sidebar have changed drastically since yesterday. That is because I was finally able to import all my Haloscan comments.

Ideofact

Bill Allison of Ideofact has moved to nice Movable Type digs. The best thing about his new site is the commenting system. His thoughtful and interesting posts have always provoked some response in me but I am too lazy to email it to him. Now, I can comment on his blog.

Weird Searches

Someone visited my blog looking for “erotic vaccination scars.” Another visitor was looking for Hotmail IDs of Muslim girls.

An interesting twist on the familiar Nigerian 419 fraud: declaring me an heir to someone with whom I share a last name. Dear Ajmal, Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious.

Teen IM

A nice story from the Washington Post: As undercover assignments go, posing as a teenage girl online to catch pedophiles has its share of challenges for the typical FBI agent. Should he ever capitalize words in instant messages? Is it okay to say you buy your clothes at 5-7-9? And what about Justin Timberlake? Is… Continue reading Teen IM
