So, I went down this interesting blog trail today. It started with the urge to hurl after reading this article and staring in disgust at my computer.

Then I was reminded of that place down behind the Sheraton that we used to call “The Poop Factory” as I read an interesting bit about how it will soon be possible to put our waste to use. Definitely at the gross end of the coolness spectrum.

I went to go check if there was any coffee left so I could calm my stomach and when I came back, I read this bit about how there are health benefits to having a strong “cup of joe” … especially espresso. Ah, I reminisce about the NeoCore days of coffee you could cut with a knife. Dang.

Anyhoo, I finally ended up back at Gizmodo reading about how technology will now allow us the “ability to let us lie to our friends and loved ones with an efficiency never imagined possible by our forefathers.” Meet SounderCover.

So, the original idea was the thought that I could toss up a simple multi-author blog that allows some friends to share and comment on interesting stuff. Seems doable, and it was. But being the lazy guy I am, I expected to “make it better and cooler” whenever I got around to it. I didn’t expect to have to put any work into it.

Well, turns out I was wrong. There seems to be some smacktard that insists on comment spamming me. I am reminded of one of Brad’s entries that I read early on when I was originally setting up this blog. I kind of brushed it off at first, thinking it must only happen to the supa-cool, popular sites. Guess I was wrong. And I have to say I’m getting pretty tired of having to regularly check for (and then delete) these annoying pr0n posts.

So, until I can find the time and motivation to apply one of the current “fixes”, I’m most likely going to turn off comments very soon.
