I've had a few days of relatively luxurious solitude to get some work done. Unfortunately I didn't do that much coding. But not because I was slacking off, it's just that I'm up against a really hard problem. Although maybe that does count as slacking off because this is what I enjoy most about working - battling through the early conceptual stages; trying to fit the whole problem in my head; working through all the possibilities without much to go on, or much to hem me in. I pace around a lot. I make notes like mad when I get a lead. I talk to myself. I pace some more. I have a little porch here and sometimes I go out there and pace and talk to myself some more. Anyway, it's just a really fun time, before the work of limiting your possibilities that some people call 'actually producing something specific.' Joking. But just now I think I nailed the last and most elusive part. It feels great. Cracked open a beer in honor (I'm in a much different time zone so this is more reasonable than the footer on this post makes it seem.) So I just thought I would share. Cheers.

Spamtrap "is an interactive installation piece" consisting of a computer connected to the internet which receives spam emails, automatically prints them out, and feeds the result directly into a bottom mounted paper shredder. Go check out the picture. Nice one. Too bad it can't feed the spammers directly into the shredder though.
