Joe’s Filters were mentioned on the following sites:
It’s kind of fun to see how my press release was modified and paraphrased by the different sites. Here is the original release:

I came across the Paint The Moon project today. The goal is to get a few million people to point their laser pointers at one spot on the moon at the same time. Hopefully it will be visible from earth. I don’t think it will work, and this site presents a well reasoned argument about why it won’t.
I’ll try to remember to look (and possibly help). It would be great if it actually worked.

For the past couple days, I’ve had music from a Mercedes commercial stuck in my head. The commercial is for the Mercedes Benz C-Class Coupe and is mostly simple shots of a thirtyish guy driving across a bridge (SF I think) with a plastic bag blowing around the passenger side. Great photography even if the bag thing is a cliche now.
The song is Whoever You Are by Geggy Tah. Thanks to LimeWire for helping uncover that. I’m looking for other songs by them to see if I want to buy any of their albums.
Interesting case of media cross-pollination, who was the ad actually for? I’m not going to be buying a car anytime soon…
I’ve been thinking about creating something about how to open a CD. It would be somewhat the opposite of this: How to unwrap a CD box by Tibor Kalman and Lulu Kalman.
The past two days I’ve seen three people missing a total of four legs. Today I saw a double amputee, yesterday I saw two singles. The one that sticks in my head is the man in the wheelchair outside the LIRR escalators into Penn Station. The stump of his right leg was swollen around the truncated end of his lower leg bones, a ring of blotchy purple flesh about the diameter of a basketball. He was drinking a 32oz soda from McDonalds and smoking a cigarette.
Even if the Patients’ Bill of Rights passes, it will only help those who can afford to see a doctor. None of these people looked as if they could afford health care, an economic reality quantified by their missing limbs.
Last night I saw the Mike’s Hard Lemonade Lumberjack ad where one man chops off his own leg, then a second man buys the first a drink. I didn’t laugh.
I received an email from Jerry Kindall about the mysterious “joe maller.exe” thing I found on GNUtella. He suggested the file was produced by “a hacked Gnutella client that renames the file in question to whatever you’re looking for, to distribute a virus or worm or at the very least a Trojan horse. If you had searched for ‘Adobe Photoshop 6’ I bet you the same server would have returned the same file, only named ‘Adobe Photoshop 6.exe’.”
In the meantime, I had a small but signficant breakthrough with Perl.
