I wonder if services like this will take off.

The trend towards open data and open APIs seems to be reinforcing itself. If demand grows for tools like this, then every webapp developer is either going to have to reinvent the wheel and roll their own flavor of this tool, or develop APIs that are world-facing so the toolmakers can connect up to the existing tools. I enjoy seeing all the new ways of using things that bubble out of this, but it still makes me ask how popular these things might become. Then those second thoughts come up and ask the metaquestion of if popularity is relevant ultimately, as long as the project achieves its goals and advances the state of the arts.

What follows is the most amusing spam I’ve recieved in a _long_ time.

Hi there,

Did you know that rituals, magick and spells
can ‘boomerang back’ and destroy your life
if you do them wrong?

99% of all Spells, Rituals and Magick
don’t work because they are missing
the one real source of power.

You have only been told half the truth
because most magicians, wizards and witches
are trying to keep all the

– easy riches
– unlimited love (and sex)
– mind control
– health and healing
– mystical energy
– success
– prosperity
– confidence
– protection

and so much more… all for themselves!

It’s Just NOT RIGHT That The Most Powerful
Magical Spells, Potions, & Rituals
Are Kept A Secret For Only A Few!

This Has To Be Stopped!

and how to take advantage of the same hidden
knowledge that can give you almost anything
you ever wanted in life.

Foot update. Better. Still not back to baseline, but down to twinges.

Brain still swimming though. Must take a half hour and braindump, update calendar, and plan next actions. Losing all of wednesday has left me feeling like I am behind on projects.

Off I go!
