Instructional comments
I realize that Akismet can’t catch all the spam comments in a blog, and my wine club site gets hit pretty hard with spam comments (over 110,000 since I moved it to WordPress), but how could any filter think that a comment entitled “instructional blow job” is not spam?
Air Canada compensation
The day after my incident on an Air Canada flight last week, I received a phone call from them ostensibly to check up on me (maybe to find out how litigious I was feeling), with a promise of a follow-on letter. I gave the caller an earful of my concerns about the carry-on baggage handling [...]
Best. Skype. Stalker. Ever.
In case there was any doubt that I receive an unusual number of Skype chat requests because I have the gender flag set to “female” on my profile, I present one of the more recent ones.

Expedia: watch the markup on extras
I booked my current trip to Las Vegas using Expedia, since that gave me the best hotel and airfare rates, and they threw in a couple of spa passes at Caesar’s Palace (where I’m staying) for free. During booking, Expedia also suggested adding an airport shuttle to the package — a great idea since the [...]
