This looks to be a variant of the fake check scam.

Funny how this is making the rounds. Silly scammers. At first, I thought InstiCheck might be some sort of trojan virus to collect your data. But then I did a search for InstiCheck on Craigslist and found this.
Seems to be a consistent story with InstiCheck’s website — not exactly top-notch professional website, but legitimate nonetheless.
But now it seems that these scammers are using a stolen bank account (TTI) to make large purchases on Craigslist.

Trailer Roundup (vol. 1): the hollywood apocalypse
Could “Monstrous” be the title? Check it out…

I’m not sure what to think about the movie-list linkage, except to say that that site is mostly user contributed. So just because they claim the links are official doesn’t make it so.
Here’s the best theory I’ve read yet, go check it out! A little mind-blowing.

Yeah, that one’s an interesting viral rabbit trail. But JJ says it ain’t so…

Ah, nice tie-in, Nate. I guess there’s really nothing new under the sun.
Just found this info on Wiki… I thought the movie seemed familiar. The novel was adapted before with Charlton Heston in the 70s as Omega Man. That was a campy cool flick.

That’s it, KingFish, I’ve added Quiet Earth to the top of my Netflix queue, since you’ve mentioned it twice. 😉 Also added the Triffids. I shall report back in due time.
Hey, have you seen Omega Man? That’s another last-man-alive flick. Very, very 70’s, but fun ideas.

Mike, good point about The Wanderer. You know, it was never very clear to me that the Wanderer was a distinct character from the Man in Black. I don’t know why I thought that, but the two were fused in my mind the first read through.

Hmm, interesting choice. I think he’d be good.

Well this reply is only 9 years late! Not bad for me. So, yes I can help you with your barcode reader project!

Can you be more specific? The diagram is already listed above.

What material do you need? The circuit diagram is already posted above. Lots of pictures. Can you be more specific?

Sorry, avreai, you are on your own. I’ve got too many projects of my own to get done!

Hey, Richard. I needed the delay because my amp/receiver turned its output relays on too early (in my opinion) and thus my subwoofer had a really loud hum. So the delay just prevented that audible hum.

Hmm, never heard of it, Fish. I just added it to my Netflix queue! Sounds really interesting. Plus, I have a real soft spot for last-humans-alive apocalypse scenario. 🙂

I think YOU need fixing, Alex! Everyone knows that there are “lies, damn lies, and statistics”. In these cases, it pays not to do the math.

People, this is important! You know in your hearts what the right answer is.
Let me put it this way: when you first wake up, what’s going to fight morning breath better? Floss or mouthwash?

the Craigslist scammer letters
Glad you found my exchanges funny, Maricela.

Glad you got a kick out of this, Diana. Sure, feel free to share the joy (although I think you’re referring to my other Craigslist scam post)! Happy goading. 🙂

Ahem… that would be yes. More details to come.

Carolina » Thanks for your corrections! Looks like I need those lessons!

Thanks for the correction, monster (sorry, I’m not hack3r literate, much less Italian!)

What I disliked the most about the previous was Bond’s perfection. He was just too good. It’s the same reason why I like Superman, but I don’t love him. In the end, you know he’ll win without any permanent damage. Batman however is just a man with cool toys. And the best Batmans have been the ones that get hurt, where his choices have real consequences.
This Bond had internal conflicts, doubts, and weaknesses. That’s always a good thing for creating believable struggle.

We loved the visit too. It was great as usual to hang out with your fam!

Oh man, your pumpkin rocks, Eliot. So, what tools did you use? I’m such a newb. This is my first year getting into the more elaborate carvings. I used a dremel tool but that made such a mess.

All good things, my boy…

Maybe a picture of the Batmobile. 😉

Ok, gang, sorry for the confusion. But I imported this post from the old blog (it was lost in the shuffle back when I moved everything into WordPress). I put it back in just for historical reasons. Sort of a breadcrumb approach.
Some of you who subscribe to the blog got a notification of this. Never fear, I’m not back in Dallas and I haven’t left Sarah! I’m Coloradan to the core now.» Posted By Rob On October 5, 2006 @ 8:51 am
Hey Kim, who tipped you off to the froth? Oh, that’d be me I guess. That’s a separate post (with pics, I promise). You’re getting ahead of me!
Jimmy, it was so great that you and the fam were there! Oh, we got a compliment on your sermon toast too. 😉
Sar, you’re the best!
