Africa calling cards
One Man Safari (http://onemansafari.blogspot.com/), a really nifty found-art blog, disappeared recently. Poof. Gone. The feed stopped working and the home page gave a 404 "Not Found" error. I don't know what happened, but I'm bummed. I'm really missing the daily eye treat this blog provided.
Anyway today in my Bloglines account, I see that I'm now subscribed to the "Africa Calling Cards" feed. And in the one and only entry in the feed, its a pitch for something called "IP-telephony phone cards". I'm not sure that even makes sense. Whatever. I figured out my subscription to One Man Safari was replace with this craptacular spam one at the server. Yup, I visit the One Man Safari site and its now the "Africa Calling Cards" spam site.
Damn spammers. They're like mosquitoes, you'll never ever really get rid of them, you just have to learn to live with them and hope they don't give you a disease.
Anyone know what happened to One Man Safari?

I was searching for him, too, and found your lament that the blog was gone. I found his profile, though, and it pointed to this new blog. Member since 10/04, blog new in July. The content and style sure look like him.

Yowsers! I just glanced at your profile and we share a birthday - 10/24 - however, I was a freshman in college the year you were born. :-) Happy shared birthday.

Thanks. My father in law shares the same birthday, we should start a club :)
