Web of change, web of spam

Permalinks to this entry: individual page or in monthly context. For more material from my journal, visit my home page or the archive.

Two things:

1. I've had to crank up the aggressiveness of my spam email filters today, because Google's formerly-excellent Gmail spam filters were failing too much, letting through dozens of the several hundred of spam messages I get each day. (I've received 4000 or so in the past two weeks.) So there is a chance, though small, that if you email me I won't get it, or it will bounce back to you. If either of those things happens, feel free to leave a comment on the blog here and I'll whitelist you.
   
   
2. Web of Change is coming up later this month. I won't be going because of the usual September insanity in a house with two school-age kids and a wife who's a teacher, but it's worth checking out, and the location (Hollyhock Retreat on Cortes Island in the Straight of Georgia) can't be beat. Another option is the Podcast Expo at the end of the month in Ontario, California, near L.A. It too looks like an inspiring event, but the location... mmmmm... not so much.
