Slow News Week.
2006-05-12.
There is shockingly little to write about. Something big and controversial happened on American Idol the other night, but unfortunately, it was not a large explosion killing everyone involved, so I won’t be exploring that here.

2006-05-15.
Here’s something I don’t understand about the whole NSA wiretapping thing. Everyone is pretty outraged about the government collecting data.

The Lynchmobosphere Stalks The NY Times.
2006-07-03.
I’m pretty baffled about the outrage over the NY Times “revealing” the government’s SWIFT-monitoring program. And as if the SWIFT thing weren’t enough, Michelle Malkin and the puppet minions of the “wingnutosphere” were even further enraged when the NY Times published photos and locations of Donald Rumsfeld and other’s vacation spots. It turns out the NYT did so with Rumsfeld’s permission, but Malkin et al were not deterred in staging a full-scale assault: They’re protesting at the NYT building and publishing the home phone numbers and addresses of NYT editors in retaliation.

Thursday’s Informative Links.
2006-07-13.
Oh, lovely: Israel: Hezbollah plans to move abducted IDF soldiers to Iran. And: Hezbollah escalates the war in Lebanon, launches rocket attacks in Haifa. Now Bush is giving up secret wiretapping? Specter touts deal on eavesdropping review. Have aliens replaced the president? As Israel and Lebanon meltdown, there’s progress in Iraq: Transfer of Security Responsibility in Muthanna Province. A general’s review of Gitmo: McCaffery on Guantanamo, which summarizes McCaffery’s full memo. The preceding links have been deemed “not to completely suck” by Thomas Krehbiel’s patent-pending content rating system. The system rates the relative merit of Internet content in terms of originality, non-partisanship, grammar, and educational or research value.

Police GPS Trackers and Clean Water.
2009-05-11.
I probably mentioned this before, but I’ve been listening to the No Agenda podcast a lot during my commute lately. The show is not very polished and it goes off the rails quite a lot, but it’s still very refreshing to hear a perspective on current events that isn’t rooted entirely in Democratic or Republican talking points. And hey, it’s free.

Hacking Data Pipes Not That Bad.
2013-11-01.
Nobody hacked into anyone’s servers. They only tapped into the raw data stream between the servers.
