TV Colombia

You bet I'll be contacting my cable service provider! Woohoo!

On other Colombian (and not so very good news), my friend Fabián has decided to close down Colext.Org. I'm sad because it was a great online community for Colombians, but I support his decision. Sometimes I go crazy managing this little website, now imagine one with 2500+ members, all the trolls, all the complaints, all the support. Fabián was just too nice to offer something like it without asking anything in return, and now he decided it was time for a break. I'm with you all the way, Fab! I'm glad Colext gave us the chance to meet, you're like a brother to me. Thank you for being such a great friend!

Blog hard for the money

I just visited Brandy's blog and found a very interesting entry about something I've been thinking of quite a while, but I didn't find the guts to actually express my thoughts here. While some bloggers are all for Freedom of Speech when it comes to their own blogs, the epidemic of trolls these days is just incredible. But here I go...

People asking for money on their websites. What do you think about it?

Beware Traffic Polution

If you're a young wife (or partner) interested in having babies, you may want to tell your loved one to be careful with Traffic Polution. It seems it damages sperm and may reduce fertility in young and middle-aged men, according to an Italian study of motorway tollgate attendants.

And also, don't forget to tell them not to sit for prolonged periods of time because the heat in the pelvic area can also damage sperm. UK scientists say that posture has a bigger effect than the atmosphere. I'll be talking to Patrice very seriously then.

First the wee wee spam and now male fertility related issues. Mmm... Is it Men Day today or what? Next I'll be posting about home improvement or mechanics.

Get serious! ;-)

Spam is annoying enough, but while there are people who still believe every thing they get in their mailboxes, I guess the problem will not be solved. I somehow have learned to live with it and I have an e-mail account set up especially for registrations that I know will cause the flood, so I'm always psychologically prepared.

A friend of mine from Colombia contacted me on MSN the other night all excited because she had received an e-mail informing her she was the lucky winner of a trip to Disneyland. I didn't want to bring her down right away and played the devil's advocate and told her to send me the message so I could read it. Then I broke the news and taught her about nasty spam. I thought she had learned, but it's happened again, ha ha!

Anyway, there is spam that sometimes you feel like opening because it says something kind of interesting in the subject line, but when you receive a message saying "Do you have a little wee wee? We can help!" -- C'mon! Get serious... ha ha ha! It's like "Look at me! I'm spam!". It just made me laugh. A little wee wee? Very professional, I must say. Spam is a mystery for me; how is it generated? I have no idea. Maybe it will be my next thing to learn. What kills me is that they haven't learned I'm a girl and I need NO wee wee advice, he he!
