“Danger Mouse’s EMI-killed CD will be released as a blank CD-R, just add download”
Fascinating artistic response to a legal spat. It’ll be interesting seeing how it plays out, too.

“Anti-Terrorist Fantasy Dream Team on the Case”
Much hilarity: Seeking to quell fears of terrorists somehow breaking out of America’s top-security prisons and wreaking havoc on the defenseless heartland, President Barack Obama moved quickly to announce an Anti-Terrorist Strike Force headed by veteran counterterrorism agent Jack Bauer and mutant superhero Wolverine. […] “I believe a fictional threat is best met with decisive …

Know Thyself: Programming Style
This is the third follow-up to my my previous entry on self-knowledge and motivation. The entire series can be found here. I’ve finally figured out the problem that I’ve been having with motivation for working on Project X. It’s really pretty simple, and I don’t know why I didn’t realize it before. I’ve taken some …

“Are Your ‘Secret Questions’ Too Easily Answered?”
I know that everyone heard about the Sarah Palin secret-question attack. I suspect most people thought “I really ought to check my own secret questions…” and then forgot about it. Well, this is your reminder to do something about them. 🙂

I never thought I’d see the day… 🙂
