Top Spam Subject Lines 01/02/2004 06:06 PM

AOL reveals top 10 spam subject lines of 2003: Here's a shocker.

Viagra. Lowest mortgage rates. Hot XXX action. As seen on Oprah. [...] Those four phrases and six more topped the list of the most commonly-used subject lines for junk, or "spam" e-mail in 2003, Internet service provider AOL said Wednesday.

And consider this:

During calendar 2003, AOL blocked nearly 500 billion spam messages from reaching user inboxes, an average of 40 fewer such messages per day per subscriber account. The company said it regularly blocks 75 percent to 80 percent of incoming mail as spam.

4 out of every 5 emails bound for AOL are spam. Crazy.

A Spam-Inspired Design Thrashing

A Spam-Inspired Design Thrashing 06/18/2004 11:13 AM

Larr y Taylor Spam Ministries: Word to the wise: don't spam Mean Dean, even if it's for ministry-related stuff. This is a great read.

Considering the fact that I'm still receiving unsolicited commercial email after having already complained directly and upstream, I have come to the conclusion that perhaps the best way to get old Larry Boy to quit spamming meis to give him what he wants, some website traffic. And why not? The Larry Taylor Ministries web site is after all a very good example of how NOT to design a personal ministry website. [...]

Nothing says cheap to a congregation than a pastor on a polyester leisure suit. Similarly, nothing conveys the message of low-rent like kitschy animate gifs and contrived backgrounds, both of which can be found on Rev. Taylor's site.[...]

A bit further down I found pulsating crosses with hearts placed on the website because they're relevant to ...I dunno ... perhaps to distract me from fishy "IXOYE" background that it makes any text not offset by a white background almost impossible to read?

Nature-Inspired Computing - Increased understanding of biological systems will lead to breakthroughs in computing and artificial intelligence. By Nigel Shadbolt. IEEE Intelligent Systems. "It isn't hard to recognize the influence of biological processes and methods on our science and technologies. Norbert Wiener's cybernetics was very much influenced by feedback and control processes that he observed in biological systems. Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts' characterization of the neuron owed much to their understanding of biology, mathematics, and electronics. In artificial intelligence and intelligent systems, we've also kept the faith with living systems even when not aiming to build exact simulations. AI and IS have been fundamentally interested in the phenomenology of living systems - perception, decision making, action, and learning. So we might say that we've been doing nature-inspired computing all along."

http://www.n asatech.com/Briefs/May03/NPO21142.html

Most people do not associate microprocessors with DNA, or aircraft design with butterflies. But scientists and researchers are increasingly looking to biological systems as models for new technologies. This trend has implications for computing, materials science and engineering, robotics, and much more.

A Web site from Michigan State University (1) is a useful starting point for learning about biologically inspired technologies. In addition to briefly discussing the natural processes that are most commonly studied in the development of such technologies, there is a large collection of links to other research efforts and related material. The Ant Colony Optimization project (2) uses the behavior of ants as a model to solve optimization problems, such as how to minimize Internet traffic congestion. Several downloadable research papers are included on the project's homepage, as well as links to news stories, radio broadcasts, and conference proceedings about ant algorithms. A seminar course at the University of Virginia (3) in spring 2003 considered aspects of biologically-inspired computing. The course homepage has links to journal articles and research papers that range in topic from evolutionary programming to spacecraft designs based on living cells. Biomimetics is the focus of work being done at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (4). One of the selected publications available on the Web site will be presented at an international conference in July 2003. The paper discusses the use of artificial muscles in intelligent robots. A research group at the California Institute of Technology (5) is studying the capability of DNA and other biomolecules to process information and implement algorithms. A general overview of the group's purpose and motivation is provided, as well as a number of publications. An excellent background of some of the most significant developments in artificial life and intelligence is given in a 56-page paper from Hewlett-Packard Laboratories (6). The author discusses many different issues, including neural networks and software agents, and concludes by alluding to future application areas. (7) Discusses efforts to combine characteristics of several different species into one artificial creation to optimally serve the purposes of a mission.

More Segway-inspired robotic fun

More Segway-inspired robotic fun 11/13/2003 11:13 AM
BoingBoing buddy and robotics whiz John Wiseman says:

Regarding Segway robotics, I thought you might be interested to know that DARPA funded development of a Segway-based common robotics platform (the "RMP"): Link. A group at CMU is working on a Robocup robot soccer team using the Segway RMP: Link. One cool thing about their work is that it's the first robot soccer team (as far as I know) that can play with and against humans on the field. Unfortunately they don't seem to have any images/video of that online; I saw some video at a conference a few weeks ago.

Random thing #1: I hear there's an upcoming exhibit at the Center for Land Use Interpretation of video from cameras mounted on sheep, spiders, tumbleweeds, etc. Sounded cool. Link. Sheep stampede video: Link. Random thing #2: Origami folding robot at CMU: Link.

Finance Spam Passing Drug Spam While
Porn Spam Is Washed Up 05/24/2004 05:37 PM
The latest study on spam trends appears to show that financial spam is outpacing pharmaceutical spam - though, honestly, so much of both is coming out that it's really hard to imagine that this matters at all. Meanwhile, it seems that porn spam is increasingly less interesting to spammers as the numbers have been on a noticeable decline for quite some time. No matter what, though, it appears that CAN-SPAM has done absolutely nothing to slow down the amount of spam sent.

Cockroach Inspired Touch Sensors for
Robots 03/23/2005 09:31 AM

John Hopkins University is showing off their newest touch sensor for robots. Its flexible and wand-like antenna consists of six strain gauges that have been molded in urethane, giving it an accuracy of 1-1.5cm and allowing it to closely follow a wall. They also intend to install an actuator, allowing the antenna to sweep, making it more like their initial inspiration: the cockroach. At least somewhat more advanced than my Lego Mindstorms bulldozer's edge-sensor, the urethane-shelled sensors could easily find their way into forthcoming robots that need the ability to feel out their surroundings.

Moment

Yahoo Buys Oddpost In A Gmail-Inspired
Moment 07/09/2004 08:29 PM
So, we actually heard about this a couple weeks ago, when someone (who knew) passed on the fact that Yahoo had bought Oddpost in an attempt to fight back against the Gmail craze. Now, though, the deal is official, so it's okay to talk about it (though it had been hinte d at earlier this week). It's really not that surprising, after all. Yahoo knew they needed to upgrade their email, and Oddpost has a great reputation for their interface. You can be sure that Yahoo wasn't the only company sniffing around and debating whether or not to buy up Oddpost. While it's probably not going to be the lead in most stories, it is quite interesting that one of Oddpost's nicer features is an integrated RSS reader. Yahoo keeps talking up the power of RSS, and perhaps this will allow them to make a bigger commitment. However, in all likelihood, it was just the mail interface that fascinated them. It seems like a good move by Yahoo who needed to do something.

On the subject of cheese...

On the subject of cheese... 12/06/2003 06:42 PM

This may sound like a bit of an advert, but frankly I don't care. You have to be able to express joy in the things you like - I think - whether they be commercial or not. Only let me say that I have received no money or free merchandising for the following glowing endorsement. None at all. Not even the tiniest sliver of perfectly ripe brie...

Every year shortly before Christmas I pop into Neal's Yard Dairy and get a selection of cheeses to take up to my family in Norfolk. It's become a bit of a ritual. There's something really primal and satisfying about bringing food back for a significant meal - particularly one so associated with the winter solstice and the rebirth of the sun (oh and all that Christian stuff I guess). So to do my part, I go into Covent Garden's most well-stocked and sensually stimulating shop, sample a dozen cheeses (they'll let you try everything) and then buy a representative sample.

This sounds more like an advert than I'd feared, but let me continue anyway... The wonderful staff will recommend the Stilton that'll be at its best at exactly the right time, they'll tell you how to store your cheese (FYI: in a cellar or on a window-ledge - not in the fridge because it'll dry it out) and they'll even label each perfectly paper-wrapped block of cheese you buy - so that you can order them again or look them up later in your favourite cheese tome (I bought my father a book of cheese so that he can investigate the whole issue in more detail - I believe it's been a tremendous success). In a nutshell - it's one of the most pleasant experiences of my year and I heartily recommend it. Plug over. Well, nearly...

It occurs to me that this is an ideal topic for a random poll, so here we go: What's your favourite cheese?
