My 1.5 year old Belkin UPS died about a month ago. As it was on its way out, the UPS decided that I should probably think about replacing one of my routers as well, so an old Linksys 802.11b router died right along with the UPS. I opened a claim with Belkin and promptly sent in my dead UPS, thinking that they’ll probably just tell me to go elsewhere since the unit was close to going out of warranty. I was pleasantly surprised when I came home today to a UPS-delivered Belkin box sitting in front my door. Belkin replaced the dead UPS with a brand new 550VA unit and sent a $39.99 check as well, to cover the dead router.
How can you go wrong with that? Belkin kicks ass!
I get a lot of Nigerian 419 scams in one of my email accounts. I’ve noticed that, over the last few days, “Song Lile” keeps popping up over and over (and over and over and over) again — sometimes as much as 15 times per day. It’s always the same message, with instructions to email the same address for my cool million bucks:

A smarter scammer would use different names, but this guy’s strategy isn’t half bad either. Maybe sending people 20 emails per day will make them fall for his scam. Hopefully thie entry will help if some potential victims decide to check Google and other search engines for his name. . .
AT&T U-Verse broadband/TV service has been available in my neighborhood for about a month ago. After initially holding off on it, I decided to finally give it a try. The installers came to my house about a week ago and got everything set up. Everything is working well — the TV picture is crystal clear, the broadband is pretty fast, and the overall service is pretty sweet.
