Soap Box anyone? at Daniel Spisak on Technology

So if you happen to be a member of MySpace.com one thing that you are aware of is bulletins and just how bloody annoying and useless so many of them can be. While browsing late last night looking for something else entirely I happened upon this awesome Flash animation that sums so what I think of many of those bulletins.

To those of you not on MySpace often people will post chain letter bulletins reminescent of the early chain letters you would get in email. You know, the ones that say Bill Gates and Disney are tracking your email and they want to send you money for sending this email along to as many people as possible to “track” the email? Or other really annoying things like posting about how their God is great and trying to guilt trip you into posting similar drek. In any case this Flash is for all of you who hate those stupid chain letter bulletins, check it out:

About the Author

Daniel Spisak was born from the fiery depths of fusion and now roams the pale blue dot known as Earth. I obtained my bachelors degree in Computer Science from UC Irvine at the end of 2007.

I am also involved in technology & security consulting firms as well as being a freelance technology writer. I also contribute to Jerry Pournelle's website and Chaos Manor Reviews. Additionally I am also a freelance photographer as well and you can find my photos either on my own personal gallery or up at my Flickr account or on Zivity.

This blog is one of the main locations where I do my writing, which is then automatically sent to my LiveJournal, VOX, and MySpace accounts. I can also be found on a variety of social networking and microblogging sites like Pownce, Twitter, Brightkite, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

If your viewing this site with Internet Explorer it may not look correct because IE is horrible about following W3C web standards properly or consistently. I suggest you try browsing the Internet with Firefox. It is much better and not as vulnerable to security flaws as IE can be.
