Quirky Saturday

Three unusual things I noticed on Saturday.  First: I got an email from a "person" who was interested in this:

This was the email:

The email seems off, written by a machine ?  Or possibly  a machine translation ?  I can't remember ever using the word: semantics in an email subject line.

Two other things: there is a mistake on the 6 bit D/A => no path for current to ground or VCC.  A resistor to ground would work.  I removed the 6 bit D/A schematic from the zip on the projects page.

I foolishly replied to the email with this so maybe I have been marked as a sucker ?

Another thing: the schematic was on a scraped data page found with this search: 

"Fm Radio Circuit Diagram Pdf"  

But a few hours after my email reply that 25 year old 6 bit D/A circuit diagram had disappeared !

Very weird, so possibly this email was from the goomer who runs that site or they just rotate their filched content regularly ?   I never heard back from the guy.

Second, I saw this:

the page was available on Sunday afternoon

I just loathe Facebook, people have cloned Twitter, why didn't anyone ever clone Facebook ?

Third, a good thing but still not an everyday happening, the Brewers both clinch a playoff spot and win a game in extra innings:

ripping off the jersey of the guy who wins the game, Mona, don't hear this on the radio

BTW, the Miz looked kind of average against the Cards.
