A comment spammer speaks

Welcome! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed . Thanks for visiting!

I was reading comments on a blog tonight and came across this gem:

Some of our previous comments may include links that are no longer valid or that do not have a nofollow value. They might very well lead you today to a third party. Therefore, I ask you, if you would be so kind, to please delete or disregard those comments.

Many thanks and best wishes,

Iza, Roberto Iza

Muy Señores Míos:

Algunos de nuestros comentarios incluyen vínculos rotos que bien pudieran llevar hoy a una tercera persona. Por tanto, le rogamos, por favor, que los deseche o desestime.

Gracias y recuerdos

Iza, Roberto Iza

Is this what I think it is? A comment spammer asking the blogger to delete/disregard his comments? Ha!

Two Free Chicago Auto Show Passes - Going Quick!

bentley.jpgYesterday, Zach Davis of FQuick/Bill Jacobs (an XNet customer) dropped by our office with a handful of Auto Show passes. We can’t use them all, and I’d like to give away our last two. So, if you want to go to the Chicago Auto Show (last day is Sunday), you might be in luck.

How do you get these two passes? Write a comment to this post by the end of the day Thursday, and in 100 words or less, tell me why you should be the recipient of two free Chicago Auto Show passes. Sometime this evening, I will pick one of the comments to be the recipient. I am the sole judge, and my decision is final. Your entry can be serious or funny, I’ll pick the one I like the most and give that person the tickets.

If I select your entry, you must make arrangements with me to pick them up. I will be at XNet in Lisle during business hours on Friday, and in the Naperville/Wheaton area on Friday evening.
I’m going down to the show with a buddy on Saturday morning. If you’re there and want to meet up, shoot me a call or a text!

Four things you can’t bring on an airplane…

I was at the Denver airport on Monday. Before I whipped off my belt and set my laptop in the tray, I snapped a picture of this sign by the security line:

Four things you can’t bring on an airplane…

 Tell me my taxpayer dollars don’t actually go to pay for a sign with an illustration telling people they can’t bring bombs on planes??
