Random Acts Of Lunch Targets Google

 
Cambrian House Inc. Sends Lunch to Google

Thousands of pizzas delivered to Google as a random act of recognition.

Calgary, Canada (PRWEB) June 28, 2006 -- Cambrian House Inc., a Calgary based software company spent Monday afternoon delivering lunch (over 1000 pizzas) to the Googleplex in Mountain View, California as they inducted the famed internet search company into their NVA hall of fame. The National Viking Association (NVA) is a hall of fame for those companies and individuals that make a dent in the online universe.

?We wanted to salute those we look up to in the industry, so we started with Google, which was an obvious first choice,? says Michael Sikorsky, CEO of Cambrian House. ?The pizzas were our way of saying thanks to one of the companies that have enabled our existence.?

The company promises to continue to randomly recognize individuals or companies with their unique National Viking Association.

Additional information on the random act of recognition can be found at http://www.cambrianhouse.com.

Cambrian House still in their infancy recently launched their beta website, an online community for anyone looking to contribute to a software project in return for royalties. The model is based on the new phenomenon of Crowdsourcing, where parts of a project are outsourced to an online community in return for a portion of the profits. Notable crowdsourced websites include iStockPhoto, InnoCentive.com, and mturk.com.

{Editor's comments: Someone should have told them that that in the US we generally each lunch AT noon, and afternoon delivery would mean that lunch would be late and delivered after everyone had already eaten. Also, wouldn't you expect Pizza sent from Calgary to arrive cold...? (hris ]

Jin Like Dog

Well, late last night I got yet another Japanese spam email and when I checked out the domain that was listed, jinlikedog.com, I discovered that it was not even registered. Soooo, I did what any SPAM fighter would do, I registered that puppy to keep it out of the hands of the spammers.
 
There's a price to pay for this kind of action, and aside from the $7 to register the domain (DomainSite.com: great registrar, good service, good prices!), there is the fact that some people are so rabid about spammers that you then make yourself a target as the owner of a "spamvertised" web site or domain.
 
This is actually the second time that I have done this, and while I got a couple of emails the first time, this time someone reported the spamcop.net and DomainSite was notified, but strangely not the hosting company where I had put up a simple page offering to sell the domain for $299 (Yes, just a joke...! But I would have taken it...).
 
So I responded to DomainSite to let them know I'm not responsible and had to post a message at Spamcop as well. And I took down the page that I had up so people will think the spammer has been neutrulized... Oh well, at least I have the satisfaction that the investment the spammer made has been lost, and after all, you can never have too many domain names, can you? I just have a sinking feeling that I may not want to know what the "Jin" stands for in "JinLikeDog.com"...   (hris
