Junk mail

Starting today my subscription with Cloudmark is over. Cloudmark used to automatically move about 95% of all incoming spam into a junk folder. Even though I was not seeing all this nuisance in my inbox anymore, I still found that the spammers invaded my personal space. When I was away for two days it would take almost half an hour to download and filter my email.

A few months ago my Internet service provider started filtering junk on their end. What a joy! My inbox does not get flooded with junk anymore. I once used to receive 180 junk mails per day and have now reached a new positive low of about five per day! That I can handle.

Chequing account

I withdrew some money from an ATM today and while I was waiting for the machine to process the transaction, a bank receipt laying on top of the machine caught my attention. The found receipt stated the chequing account balance as $26,569.59. Who the heck has that much cash in a chequing account?

Image is everything

Well, I guess the crisis management at MSO will be working overtime throughout the days and weeks to come on how to save the Martha Stewart brand. I am shocked and surprised to see her found guilty on all four charges she was accused of. I guess the American justice system is really serious on cracking down on white collar criminals. You go people!
