"""My newest project is a SPAM firewall. Some years ago I built an automatic
television news monitoring system for DARPA that used a PC to record CNN-TV off
the air. My PVR was before TiVo, but for the military. It did natural language
parsing on the closed-captioning and would notify military analysts as soon as
any story on a relevant topic aired. It also deleted off-topic stories to
conserve storage. I'm developing a similar approach to prioritize and cull
email."""
