Got this image in my inbox this morning:

There's something artistic -- if very... pastel -- about it, don't you think? And it had nothing to do with the gibberish spam message, which included the following:

In Chicago I saw several of his houses that looked as if they were built yesterday. By Asbjorn Lonvig, artist, designer, writer. The displayed images are drafts.

The area is very mountainous and the colors in the mist look just like your artwork!
Inspired from gladiators fighting to the death in the Colosseum in Rome.
Inspired by the highest mountain in the world, Mont Everest in Nepal.
...
All the best from your New York Fan Club!

support the arts, but do it with caution. And the wish to climb it - soon!

I'm so lucky to have a New York fan club.

So, the spammer assassin at del.icio.us is named Britta Gustafson, and every time she responds to my alerts of some tag spammers, I get a pang of concern that I somehow mis-emailed to our friend Britta, whose father's name was Gustaf. Freaks me out every time.

What's the last thing I created? Dinner.
But I've got a project planned to turn a wheel of crushed SPAM cans into a side table. Stay tuned.
