“Friends”

I got a invitation from a friend on facebook. She’s deleting one profile to start a new one, I guess because she had a bunch of friends on her old one that she doesn’t like. This online practice has always amazed me. I used to run into it on journal sites. I never sought-out friends [...]

Blogs Are Rarely Insightful, Except this One. It Is Never Insightful.

So, my mom mentioned this blog to me Snoburbia. I don’t like it, so I’m not linking to it. I think she thought it was insightful. It is not. Blogs rarely are. The blogger irritated me first by referring to mid-america as, “that space between the two coasts”. Maybe she was being facetious. I hope [...]

RE: Dude

My email address is being used to spam a ton of people. As it turns out, I get a lot of emails from mail servers saying my mail was undeliverable. So not only is my email being used to spam people, but I get spammed when those spam emails get returned. It’s actually pretty amusing, [...]

Narcissistic Title Goes Here

So not long after I put up the Mitchell Heisman post, someone named Steven Carter left this comment: I don’t know either of you. However, I do know two traits that you both share. Bloated egos and a sense that you are just so damn deep and intelligent that the world just doesn’t understand you. [...]

Telnet Comments Working Again

Just a quick post to say sorry to all the people who’ve reported trouble with the telnet comments system. I did a server reconfiguration a while back that broke inetd in a way that wasn’t immediately obvious to me. The telnet comments are working once again…just connect to 4d2.org on port 23. I’m really surprised [...]

The Man Your Man Could Smell Like

I find the commercial below absolutely hilarious, for a variety of reasons that would take much longer to explain than it will take you to just watch the commercial: THE TICKETS ARE NOW DIAMONDS! The thing I find most impressive about this commercial, after watching it for the twelfth time, is that it appears to [...]

Another Pathetic Scam Letter

Here at 4d2 dot org, we get a lot of spam. Most of it I just flush out of the SpamAssassin quarantine, but sometimes one arrives that looks particularly amusing. This one is my new favorite. UNITED STATE OF AMERICA OFFICE OF THE SECETARY OF STATE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN PAYMENT (RESOLUTION PANEL ON PAYMENT) WASHINTON [...]

Diet Pill Scam

There’s a $60-per-month diet pill being advertised online, the ingredient label for which reads: Active ingredient: 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine 100mg (pharmaceutical grade) Those who aren’t organic chemistry hobbyists, please follow the link above for an explanation. The best part is the one review website I found that’s full of statements from satisfied customers like “special weight loss [...]

In which I make fun of the Mentally Ill, Bloggers

I was reading through blogs the other day because it’s what I do when I run out of work and don’t feel like doing my schoolwork.  And something struck me about blogging, it was this: Many women bloggers have social anxiety. I relate to them, at least on that bit. When I wasn’t on medication, [...]

Oprah is an Idiot

Maybe you guys have been following the upheaval in the light of Palin’s email being “hacked” last week. Maybe you’ve been watching Oprah discuss anonymous, describing it as a terrorist network of child molesters. Maybe you’ve been on 4chan laughing your ass off to a video of Oprah reading an obviously sarcastic comment posted on [...]
