I was in the Cambridge train station this morning and I heard this guy Gifrants. Check out his myspace page to hear some of his tunes.

Stop Silverleaf Resorts – call Mark Guenther

Colin — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 15:52:17 +0000

I get a lot of people on here who have problems dealing with Silverleaf Resorts, a timeshare company that does a lot of direct marketing. I would encourage unhappy customers to band together and organize. Mark Guenther posted a comment on a previous post.

My name is Mark Guenther and I have been hounded by this company for the last year. I live in the atlanta area and I have been getting these calls about cars and money. I did some research and I have traced what I think is back to chicago. The man I usually get is Bill Carson at 773 465 5370. The reason I am writing is if anyone has recieved one of these blue cards or any address to meet a representitive please email me or call me at 404 579 8189 this is my office line. I would like to put a stop to this. I am not a lawyer but I have the time and the energy to do something

Check out my previous articles about silverleaf: article 1, article 2
Or read about Westgate Resorts, a slightly better behaved version.

Good luck! If you want me to set up a more organized effort / forum, let me know!

The animation on this is fantastic. I think the same group did some oil company commercial in the US - arriva or something like that but dont remember the name. Anyone else know?

He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven

From Ryan Greenblatt:

HAD I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with the golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams beneath your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams...

William Butler Yeats

It’s a wonderful life is commie propaganda

Colin — Tue, 26 Dec 2006 04:04:39 +0000

Boing Boing has an article about It's a Wonderful Life being classified as commie propaganda in 1947 by the FBI. Hilarious, but probably not at the time... I wonder what we will look back on in 60 years and say was ridiculous about 2006?

$10 Domain Registration – Google Apps excels

Colin — Fri, 15 Dec 2006 22:43:20 +0000

I use google apps for all my domains. Google's email and calendaring are superior systems to any other free hosted systems out there for having domain email, calendaring, chat. Now, google has made it even easier by offering $10 domain registration. This makes it simple to register a domain and get up and running with Google's email. Ideally, you'll want to use a host for your website - their current solution is a little weak, but for the most part, its a great price and minimal effort. Nice one google!
