I'm usually not big into reposting links, but this is pretty funny (from Slashdot).

nafta superhighway

just doing a little websurfing - one interesting thing about the web is that a lot of stale information stays in place - sort of like a bunch of old newspapers and magazines in your attic - except that often there's not much of an indicator of how stale it is. Other stuff happily stays up despite being clearly dated. I'm glad it does

Take this article (which does have a date):

Bush Administration Quietly Plans NAFTA Super Highway

Amusing to me because I live and work very close to Highway 59 in Houston, which was to be / would be / will be(?) a part of the highway. I'm not aware of the specific facts he's claiming with regard to the development of the "trans Texas corridor", but none of them are inconsistent with what we've heard around here. The whole time I've been living here, we've been waiting for 59 to turn into Interstate 69, knowing it would connect through Laredo. But it doesn't seem any closer to happening now (2010) than it did in 1996 - ten years before the panicky article above. I love the references to the star chamber conceived "North American Union".

ad supported hot sauce

I'm waiting in the long line at Laredo Taqueria, and today, I notice a bunch of new, mostly unopened, hot sauce bottles on all the tables. I tried to see what brand they were, but instead, see these ads for cheap mortgages and stuff. Kinda cool? I wonder what the whole story is.

kanomwan

I'm sitting here depressed because it's hitting me that the owner of Kanomwan, the thai restaurant on Telephone Road in Houston, died earlier this month. The place has been closed ever since.

eximstillrocks

Spamgourmet has been running with exim for about a year now, and it has been one of the smoothest years so far (who would think that the tenth year, with the most users and over 5 million email addresses would be the smoothest?).

I am prefer exim now.

Oh, and by the way, I deleted the spamgourmet facebook page. It sucks that facebook blocks spamgourmet links and forbids the use of spamgourmet emails (at least on the more prominent domains). Also, it looked like the "fan base" of facebook users was shrinking due to them deleting their own facebook pages, so what was the point? I'm keeping my own personal facebook page, at least for now, because it's cool to connect up with so many old friends, but I'll continue my practice of actually doing stuff here and other non-facebook places.
