Is it my fault for not disabling the new gmail related Buzz application? I've hardly touched Buzz, but since I enabled it, I'm getting daily spam as comments to my blog posts. Some of the blog posts to which the spam is directed have been long gone. How does anyone see these old posts once I delete them?
How do I know the comments are spam? It's the same endless stream I get on my Localnet Webmail account. The Localnet is my oldest dial-up email account, seldom used, but I keep it for a select bunch of subscriptions I want to see. Localnet had a good spam filter. 25 spam a week is not a big deal, but Localnet was cleaner until recent weeks.
The bigger problem with spam in Blogger comments, there is no clue as to who the sender is. At least in Yahoo Mail and gmail, you can see a bogus address, or a poorly worded subject line.

Blogger History - Julie and Julia
I joined Blogger about a year ago. It seems like I've been posting entries forever.
Watching the movie "Julie and Julia" last night, I wonder what I was doing seven years ago, when so many already were into Blogger. I had not heard of salon.com, but it's out there, and full of the latest content.
The setting for the movie script could have been yesterday. The dialogue about who writes and reads blogs hasn't changed. The terrorists, the targets, the grieving, and the frightened are the same as in 2002. The oppressors are the same as the Joseph McCarthy death squads of the 50's.
Food! What a contrast in movies, between "Julie and Julia", and "Cloudy, with a Chance of Meatballs", which we watched the night before. That one could give you nightmares. And then, there was the restaurant scene from Monty Python's "the Meaning of Life", which I vowed never to watch again, but there it was in the "Monty Python Documentary II" we watched last Tuesday.
Was there anything to watch on TV this month? We've gone through more Netflix movies this month than we had in the previous six months. There was no lack of in-person social networking with various family and community Christmas celebrations.
