Projektet dagens t-shirt rullar vidare. Jag har just, vid nyligen fyllda 40 äntligen kommit mig för med att ta körkort. Och eftersom det ena intresset lätt avspeglas i det andra, så har mitt pågående dagens t-shirt-projekt fått en ny vändning. Vägmärken och liknande piktogramförsedda skyltar har visserligen alltid varit något jag har fascinerats av. Jag […]

Swedish Elk/Moose Warning traffic sign t-shirts
The daily t-shirt project goes on! I’m a city dweller from Stockholm, Sweden. Looking out my window it’s really difficult to imagine that there are huge animals like the Elk (or moose, whichever you prefer) at large out there. In autumn every year there are reports about elks in peoples gardens, elks wandering in to […]
Lottery Scam – E.A.A.S Lottery Headquarters
The lottery scams seem to grow in popularity. Just as with the 419 scams, they attract their victims by the promise of a large sum of money, wrongfully earned, and just as non existing. Since you never actually bought that lottery ticket, you are less likely to presss charges when it turns out you have […]
'Richard Dewar' with a shady business proposition
I’m not exactly sure about the reson for the recent exposion of new kinds of iscams in my inbasket. Either there is a new croud of iscammers, or I have been sloppy when updating my Mail.app Junk filter. Richard Dewar is a new name to me, and his mail is one of the classic ”I […]
Aroujo Tao Savimbi – yet one of Jonas Samimbi heirs
If Jonas Savimbi’s all sons are going to send me the same kind of Nigerian 419 mails, I will soon have a genealogy of quite a large precentage of the Nigerian population… I know the stories about President Savimbi’s promisuity, but how big a family can a person have, and isn’t it kind of strage […]

Vad är det HP tror att vi älskar att skriva ut?
Hewlett Packard har i några veckor kört en stor utomhuskampanj över hela Stockholm på temat ”Plåta det du gillar. Skriv ut dem du älskar.” HP marknadsför alla de produkter som de har för vårt digitala bildliv. Frågan är bara vad det egentligen är marknadsavdelningen på Hewlett Packard tror att vi egentligen tar för bilder. På […]
Spam and mail worms… Ha! I'm on a Mac!
05/04 2004 – I don’t know, some days you just feel like relaxing, enjoying a Cosmopolitan drink in a cool bar, or exploring some new exotic drinks with strange liqueurs instead of chasing for new interesting links to follow up. Especially on days like this, when the Sasser virus seem to scare a lot of […]
David Johnson – an Irish 419er
While we where all busy taking down fake offshore banks, a new 419 iScammer turned up. From Dublin, Ireland! It’s a first for everything, and this is certainly the first time I ever saw a 419 mail from Dublin. In all caps as it should, and with the good old old-lady-without-heirs-has-died setup… —— From: ”DAVID […]
The anti-scam flash mob is over
The 5th International 419 Flash Mob is over. The site now leaves a message about how we together succeeded, in a 48 hours party, to shut down at least 17 fake bank websites! We have made our voices heard! And, I am kind of looking forward to The World’s 6th 419 Flash Mob on June […]
