If I buy some shares in Goldmark Industries, will I stop receiving the spam?

I’ve never had so many spams on the one subject. And this is the slightly-cleverer-spam, where the message is a graphic (that the spam filters can’t read) rather than text, so quite a lot isn’t getting caught.

Anybody else seeing a huge spam [...]

This announcement out today:

Jindabyne:

Wonderful ensemble cast.

Heart-felt attention to detail.

No CGI special effects.

Thoroughly recommended, but not for the children (moderate coarse language).

Just watched this week’s ep of Top Gear (shown on SBS on Monday evening). Haven’t laughed so much in a long time. Highlights included:

Jeremy Clarkson’s face being deformed driving an old Maserati F1 car (without a helmet!)
the STG1,500 sportscar-but-not-a-Porsche challenge (won, despite expectations, by the mighty XJS Jag)
dropping a skip full of junk onto a [...]

I’m currently reading God’s Politics by Jim Wallis. Wallis is an American evangelical theologian, preacher and activist.

God’s Politics presents an analysis of the ways in which the political Right has ‘appropriated’ God (inappropriately), and the ways in which the political Left struggles with so-called moral issues.

Like many technophiles (and even many family snappers), I have a growing library of digital photos that I’d like to be able to share.

I’ve tried a few different photo papers in my ink-jet printer. The best I’ve found is the top of the range Kodak paper: Ultima.

To secure a great price, I’ve ordered a carton of the stuff (10 packs, each containing 60 sheets of 6” x 4” paper). When it gets here (in a few days), I’ll [...]

Latest CD in my player – and one I am enjoying – is a collaboration between Elvis Costello and American songwriter/producer Allen Toussaint called The River in Reverse.

The title refers to the flooding in New Orleans after Cyclone Katrina. The album was recorded in New Orleans, apparently in an attempt to demonstrate that the local [...]

I’m happy to admit to being a huge Star Trek fan. My wife doesn’t get it. She thinks the Horta looks like an animated chenille bedspread.

Anyway, until now, I would have argued strongly that Star Trek represented the pinnacle of William Shatner’s acting career. Captain Kirk was strong, honest, sophisticated, chivalrous, respectful and very human. [...]

Went to see the new Superman flick the other night. Bit of fun.

But I’ve been worried ever since about several aspects of the man-of-steel’s outfit. Leaving aside the whole question of underpants-on-the-outside (as my daughter would say: “It’s a look, Dad”), I’m troubled by the cape. Specifically:

when Superman flies in the atmosphere, the cape flaps [...]

Last year, Jenson Button was a Formula 1 star on the wax, and it looked like the team he was driving for at the time (BAR-Honda) was on a similar trajectory.
