So, todays bit of levity…

A couple of years ago I wrote a silly little perl script to generate
random subdivion names (inspired by driving in cary,nc too often).

It can be found at http://adrian.gimp.org/cgib-in/sub.cgi

Today, I get an email from a real estate developer who is apparently using it
to name real subdivisions. Bizzare.

Then someone points me to this google cached page. Apparently
a real real estate magazine pointing to it.

A little more googling finds a
page about Snow Crash, the Neal Stephenson book. For a reason I dont quite
understand, it contains a link to the subdivision name generator. Weird.
