I logged into Pownce for the first time in a while and I noticed that I now have 29 new invites. For those of you who don’t know, Pownce is a “way to send messages, files, links, and events to your friends. You’ll create a network of the people you know and then you can share stuff with all of them, just a few of them, or even just one other person really fast.”

The site is currently in private beta, meaning that the only way to get an account is to have someone invite you. Every now and then they release more invites for current users to send to friends. But I’m tired of spamming people with invites to a new social network that they may not care about. So if you want an invite, just let me know.

Pownce is getting pretty good reviews - Mashable said it “blew them away.” I can’t say I’m that in-love with it, but mainly because I’m still waiting for a robust, easy-to-use, secure P2P app that lets me share info and files with groups of friends with no random file caps (I’m looking at you AllPeers). But for micro-blogging and sending friends links and files, this is definitely cool.

Saw this sign at the Mazda service shop today. I was a little surprised that Jesus isn’t the team leader, but regardless I’m happy that he’s on the team that’ll be working on my car.

You’d think Jesus would be the leader.jpg, originally uploaded by jedfonner.

I have the Yahoo! Go 2.0 app on my phone, which allows me to upload my camera phone pictures directly to my Flickr account. Until now, I hadn’t really integrated my Flickr photos into my website.

Then I found this cool Flickr Polaroid gallery from Christopher Einarsrud and thought I’d throw it up on my site to let people browse my Flickr photos in an intuitive interface. I think it’s pretty sweet, and it was a breeze to add to my site.

I usually only use Flickr for camera-phone pics and mobile photoblogging. Important and high-quality pictures will have their own gallery accessible via the photos tab. This Flickr browser will also be available from the Photos page.

These are in no particular order. Just click and drag to move photos around. Double-click any photo to see it bigger.

If you’ve come to this website to yell and scream and tell me to stop spamming you, I really apologize, but it’s not me that’s spamming you.

I’ve started receiving tons of “Undelivered mail returned to sender” messages, indicating that someone is spoofing email addresses at jedfonner.com to send massive amounts of spam. I do really apologize that you’re getting spam, but believe me I have nothing to do with it and, worst of all, I can’t do anything to stop it except complain to the ISPs of the actual email senders, if I can determine that info.

As this site on spamming and email spoofing indicates, “It is possible to send a message that appears to be from anyone, anywhere, saying whatever the sender wants it to say. Thus, someone could send spoofed e-mail that appears to be from you with a message that you didn’t write.”

Feel free to leave a comment if you’ve been hit by spam from a jedfonner.com email address or have good suggestions for tracking down the real culprits besides what’s already on the CERT site.
