Unreadable Captcha
Forcing me to type
Small distorted characters
To prove I am real
Are my words garbled
Or somehow unfit for your
Spam proof discussion?
Verification
To tell human from machine
Comes in many forms
Detection of spam
Using Bayesian filters
Only gets so far
Retinal scanning
But I was born without eyes
So you can’t scan me
Must access control
Such selective restriction
Remain fascistic?
This is a total Life 2.0 kind of story. I noticed last week on Facebook that my old friend Annvi would soon be launching a website for her new business. She was asking the sorts of questions I knew the answers to, so I piped up. As we conversed it became clear that the site was fully conceptualized and content-ready, but it was nowhere close to actually being built. I volunteered to put it together and in less than a week produced this: Barkin’ Doggie Biscuits. Annvi and Tobiah are great and easy to work with, and because they knew exactly what they wanted, the geographical barrier and time difference (Houston, USA to London, UK) was not really an issue.
My favorite part of the site is the Testimonials section where people can upload pictures of their own dogs eating the yummy looking biscuits. Okay, it’s kind of empty now, but it’ll grow. These dog treats will be up for sale online pretty soon. I can’t wait to get some for Jessie.
For you Life 2.0 types, BDB is active on Twitter, Facebook, and Annvi writes an entertaining dog themed blog.
