Spam? Yeah, I get spam…

According to Google, who now manages my 3 main email accounts and the aliases that go to them, I got 21,252 spam messages in the last 30 days.

21,252 =
708.4 per day
29.5 per hour
.5 per minute.

Gotta give it to Google though, I get 30 or so spam messages in my Inbox a day and rarely do I get a false positive (good email in my spam folder).

Make that 21,256…

UPDATE 10.27.2006: I’m now topping 26,000 spam messages for the last 30 days. Ugh.

Boy meets hockey…

Tim and I took Jack to the HSBC Arena Saturday morning to see the Buffalo Sabres unveil their new uniforms. Jack had a great time and didn’t mind the commotion of lights and BLARING METALLICA. That’s my boy.

I actually like the new uniforms. The navy blue is right up my alley and the logo, as hamsterish as it may be, does grow on you.

Tim has some video up…

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.” is a grammatically valid sentence used as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated constructs. It was featured in Steven Pinker’s 1994 book The Language Instinct, but is known to have been around before February 1992 when it was posted to Linguist List by William J. Rapaport, an associate professor at the University at Buffalo.

So Bill has the excellent restaurant guide and writes wicked cool sentences. Another Buffalo (buffalo) treasure.
