Twitter Map You’re about to go on vacation.  Finally, no more work.  No more responsibilities.  You’re excited to get away and you want to rub your friend’s noses in it.  Without a thought, you pick up your phone and send out a Tweet.  “Kiss off, suckers.  I’m on my way to the beach!”  You probably didn’t even pay...

My spam filters work fairly well, but sometimes a bit gets through.  This is one of the recent and odd pieces of spam I received.  Oddly enough, it’s spoofed to come from a Hennepin County,Minnesota address.  I guess some government worker was surfing the wrong sites one day.

Dear Six Apart people, Why do your themes for Movable Type still suck so much? Mostly, you have variations on a theme created years ago. Stylecatcher came out in 2005 as a potential solution and it quickly went nowhere.
