UPS: Getting Your Packages Into the Garbage On Time or Your Money Back [Shipping]
I'm pretty sure BSMT GARBAGECAN is not where this package was intended to be delivered. But hey, UPS delivered it, and that's all that counts, I guess.
Martin says:
On Monday I couriered an envelop containing paper objects and a DVD from Toronto to New York, to be included in an exhibition that will open this afternoon. The envelop never arrived, and today I saw UPS's "proof of delivery" – which I attached for you as a pdf document. They had successfully delivered my shipment to a "BSMT GARBAGECAN."
The objects were meant to be included in an exhibition entitled "How To Do Things With Words and Other Materials," and its seems UPS has contributed its own little performance piece. Also, they haven't heard the last of me.
And on a related note, at least it wasn't THIS:
[Thanks, Martin!]

Coins to Frequent Flier miles "hack" via DF.
Enthusiasts of frequent-flier mileage have all kinds of crazy strategies for racking up credits, but few have been as quick and easy as turning coins into miles.
At least several hundred mile-junkies discovered that a free shipping offer on presidential and Native American $1 coins, sold at face value by the U.S. Mint, amounted to printing free frequent-flier miles. Mileage lovers ordered more than $1 million in coins until the Mint started identifying them and cutting them off.
Coin buyers charged the purchases, sold in boxes of 250 coins, to a credit card that offers frequent-flier mile awards, then took the shipments straight to the bank. They then used the coins they deposited to pay their credit-card bills.

Who wants this Seagate T-Shirt?

I’m not going to drag this out. It’s just a damn T-shirt. You have until 5:00 p.m. EST today to leave a comment begging me for this wonderful shirt. I will pick one at random and announce the winner this evening. Have at it, nerds.
