The Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, died today. I remember when my University department phoned the Graduate Library to find out what his dissertation was about and who'd read it. Did you know that he was the victim of a horrific series of psychological experiments at Harvard, might have been the Chicago Tylenol poisoners, or was quoted extensively by the guy who wrote the vi editor?

VirMach was semi-legendary in LowEnd circles for their ultra-cheap hosting deals, both during Black Friday and year round. But over the last year they've struggled. What's up?

Reddit is preparing to go public. Again. This time they're hoping to raise only 44% of what they were looking for the previous time. To make sure the IPO is successful, they're making moves to...drive their users away?! The new API fees seem to guarantee a shrinking user base just when Reddit is going under the magnifying glass.

I have an idea: let's setup a way to automatically rewrite articles and post them on a Wordpress blog, and then we'll make millions off the ads! All we'll need to do is pick out some keywords and technology will do the rest. People are already doing this with ChatGPT and other AI tools. If you've heard a pitch for Spin Rewriter, you've heard a pitch for technology that never worked and is obsolete even if it did work.
