News Post, Video Games, Wii: March 28th, 2008 by Greg

- Sinistar meets Dick and Jane.

- If you’ve ever replied to an email that ended with ‘donotreply.com,’ here’s where it ends up: in the hands of a programmer from Seattle, who purchased donotreply.com 7 years ago or so. He’s gotten personal information from bank customers, info on troop movements in Iraq (!!), and more.

Spring, my ass. If I have to scrape my windows off in the morning (because it’s 27 degrees!) it’s not spring yet. Winter’s death throes are especially long this year.
Or so it seems. Maybe it’s just me.

- Lifehacker has a nerdy little rundown of 10 software Easter eggs, including the Excel ‘97 flight simulator and [...]

I figure I should mention this: it’s about to be a fairly busy two or three weeks at work as we churn out another release, so you may not see much in the way of posts from me because oftentimes I’m working from the minute I get here until I leave.
