  1. Anatomy of a recent AI robocall and how I responded to it

    On Friday, I received a call from 351-300-0683 which my phone identified as suspected spam. The caller ID showed up as “Ms. Leila’s NeighborSchool”, which I can find no evidence of on the internet so I suspect it no longer exists and the phone number was reassigned.

    I declined the call, so it went to voicemail. The caller left this message:

  6. U2, R.O.K., 1981 on Island Records

    Punny title (you too, are ok or U2 are ok) aside, great early EP for the European market from U2. The live tracks on the b-side are from their appearance at the Paradise in Boston in March 1981 – about 8 years later my freshman dorm room would be a block away.

    This was the first single (“Fire”) from the debut full-length album Boy, though there had been the EP Three and ~5 other singles before this

    My copy—via A1 Records in NYC—is from the first pressing for the German marked, pressed by Sonopress in Gütersloh.

  7. Discussion of this triggered the memory of my of my lace group friends, who knew of this "lace or needlework" pattern from ~1720. Dated because it's on the back of a deed in #Boston.

    Gosh, I love a rabbit hole through archives.
