Hey Cosmo, Quit Spamming ME

November 27, 2008

I Just got a robocall that said “Betty is sending you a hey cosmo blast, press 1 to hear the message”. Who the hell is Betty?  I don’t know any Betty.

For obvious reasons, I didn’t push 1.

Google searches suggest that the company responsible is http://www.heycosmo.com/ (not going to give them a link back)

On the off chance someone I know tried to use that site to send me a message: it failed.

My money’s on someone trying to use it to spam, though.

Between this and “my car’s warranty being expired”, I almost get more spam calls than legitimate ones.  -_-;;

Operator, I need an exit!

November 6, 2008

Man, I need an iPhone now, but I still won’t join AT&T so I guess I won’t be getting one.  (Someone really needs to make this App for the T-Mobile G1!)  If I had this I wouldn’t have to text you guys for “exits”.  Not that I’ve done that in a long time…  (^_-);;

Another interesting application has popped up on the Apple App Store that allows you to send fake phone calls to yourself, presumably to get you out of a spot of bother.

Called aptly Fake Call, the call won’t cost you anything as it doesn’t actually pick up on the other end, but who’s to know you are not speaking to yourself when you answer the phone?

1. When you’ve just realised that the girl you’ve taken out on a date has a five o’clock shadow.

2. When you’re at a funeral wake and while talking to an elderly person you realise that you don’t actually know the deceased.

3. When your girlfriend comes back from meeting her friend who just had a baby with a wistful look in her eyes and says : “You know what would make this relationship even better…?”

Google Adsense and Proposition 8

November 5, 2008

I doubt anyone would assume otherwise, but despite what the ad on the right might say, I’m in no way affilitated with the yes on 8 campaign.

In fact, it kinda sucked to have it there.
