Friday is Buy Nothing Day

More than 2,000 Buy Nothing Day organizers and millions of jammers from 65 countries are poised and ready to sit out the 24-hour economy for one day. You're not alone in thinking the world needs some serious recalibration.

Let's create a blast this Friday that reverberates around the world.

If you're game, take pictures and write up your story. You can file a report at: bndreports@adbusters.org. Whatever you do this Buy Nothing Day, have fun.

Blog Spam

Several of my blogs have been seeing a lot of comment spam lately and it was getting very annoying using Moveable Type's interface to find and delete them. Thank god I found Jay Allen's MT-Blacklist plugin. After a brutally simple install, most comment spam gets automatically denied and the few new ones that get through are quickly added to the blacklist and removed through a link in the comment emails that I receive. Thank you Jay.

I am also trying out w.bloggar and Zempt to do my posting to all of my blogs. Both allow me to manage and post to all of my blogs and write my posts offline. I am writing this post in w.bloggar and I really like the interface. I will give both a try and let you know which one I like better and why.
