Lovely Doggies and Pretty Bunnies

Oolong is a rabbit that lived in Japan. “When I put various objects on his head, he stays still for a minute. This is just a result of an intimate relationship between me and Oolong.” writes his owner.  Obviously, a rabbit with such talent is  the subject of many a movie, and even an exhibition. Sadly, Oolong passed away but is not forgotten.

    Best ever use of Amazon.com web services

    The rudest, most cynical rock-critic of all-time asks for the name of your favourite artist/ band, interrogates Amazon.com and then delivers a blistering (and very very vulgar) attack on that artist using song titles from the database. (Via metafilter)

    Human beings 1, Spammers 0

    "On July 3 2003, cyberangels.nl was re-registered by Spamvrij.nl, a Dutch foundation fighting spam. Previously, the domain was owned by the company Cyberangels, who have been majorly involved in spamming. They felt forced to drop it when the ground under their feet got too hot.

    Since MX-records for cyberangels.nl now point to spamvrij.nl too, we get all their mail: bounces, spam complaints and what have you. Have a peek: what kind of mail does a major spammer receive in the course of three days? By now, we have a very precise answer: 6305 mails. Here is the breakdown of those mails."
