i noticed this today. i started receiving bounced mails from yahoo! groups. it appears that spammers are now trying to spam the yahoo! mailing lists. cute. they would invent an e-mail address and add that to my domain name and then use the result e-mail address to try and join a group, send mail to [...]

i just heard from john (a new friend) that sheldon brown (the cyclist) passed away a few days ago. that bit of news stopped me at mid sentence. oh wow.
sheldon brown was a great help with my bike maintenance education. on cycling circles, if you want to know about bikes, especially the old ones, then [...]
