Alright, so I had this little app called Homeland Alert that puts a colored Aqua blob in your menubar that represents the current terror alert status. Well, I couldn't find it at the company's website that used to have it, so I send an email to the contact link on the page there. My email is below, followed by the response.

Just thought I'd share what definitely gave me a "chuckle."

My Message:
Hey, I downloaded Homeland Alert a while back and it was good for a chuckle, but I went to look for it, and its gone!

I also had put something in there that although the email address on his website was an image, the fact that i could click it and it was filled in, aluded to the fact that it was in the code to his website, and thus could still be harvested. It also was GPG signed and had my GPG signature .sig on it like above.

I'm sure waking up Sept. 11, 2001 was also good for a "chuckle?"

Move to Canada if its so damn funny wanting to be alerted to potential terrorism in the USA, you know here in the real world where people really want to kill Americans for just being Americans. No one hates Canadians, in fact no one really cares one whit about Canadians. Should be pretty safe for you to laugh as planes explode as they hit buildings, planes with small children who did nothing to no one and can't understand why the strange men are screaming and hurting people. I wonder if the little girl on the plane that hit the WTC had a chuckle the instant before the plane disintegrated into a massive fireball? Hmm? What do you think?

And why do you hash your email? Are you more afraid of spammers than of terrorists blowing up car in traffic near you? Figures.
