Killing Comment Spam Dead

I’m sick of getting comment spam. Sure, I need penis enlargement pills, viagra, online poker systems and a fake diploma… but I don’t need it advertised all over my blog[1].

So, after waking up to see a few dozen advertisements posted all over the place, I decided to do something about it: I installed MT-Blacklist. We’ll see how well it works.

The Death of Superman

Christopher Reeve, the actor who became famous for playing Superman in the 1978, 1980, 1983, and 1987 passed away last Sunday from complications due to his condition. After he was paralyzed in an equestrian competition in 1995, Reeve not only put a human face on spinal cord injury but he motivated neuroscientists around the world to conquer the most complex diseases of the brain and central nervous system. (from his biography). He played a hero on the screen and in real life.

Rest in peace.
