Remember way back, in summer of 1999, when Will Smith and Kevin Kline starred in the movie Wild, Wild West ?  If you don’t remember, that’s fine, because the movie really sucked.  According to the Wikipedia entry, Will Smith turned down the...

All Spammed Up has a nice little summary wrap up of the year 2009.  I have my own summary, it is a condensed version of an article that will appear in next month’s edition of Virus Bulletin. There are a lot of stories that could have gone into this...

I haven’t been that active on this blog in the past few days because I’ve been fighting off a real cold virus.  Ugh, sick over Christmas.  Not pleasant.  But fear not, the story of me vs the spammer shall complete by year’s end!

This story is (mostly) fiction.  But it’s quite entertaining if you use your imagination.  And who knows?  It could have been true. Continuing on from my previous post, I was in a pretty tight spot.  There I was, hanging over a ledge...

Note: this story is (mostly) fiction.  But it could be a true story if you use your imagination a little. The town of Nazca is like a desert.  Barren rock everywhere, little vegetation, dusty, windy, and warm during the day. But, it is here...

I interrupt my unfolding Peruvian story to share this very funny video about Windows 7.  Enjoy.
