Historical record

It was nearly a decade ago when I first watched Pure Pwnage [1]. Weird because in today’s planning meeting I was reaching for a jokey reference during a conversation about how a co-worker’s gamer skills are now as to compared with his skills in the Atari 2600 era. I asked if he had uber micro these days. And then I remembered where I heard that. And then I had to see if that was still around. And then I shared links.

Reminiscing on the intertubes. pwning n00bs for nearly a decade. Wow.

And then, gratuitously: BOOM! HEADSHOT!

Is it the case that the high volume of Web searches for “Windows Installer [additional tokens here]” I’ve made in the past week or so have led to the massive spike in email spam trying to sell window replacements and installations?

Because, if so, I’m a little creeped out by that. I’m also more than a little chagrined that those algorithms aren’t able to distinguish between tokens that are spelled the same but have very different meanings.
