Frightening news from Salon:
Meanwhile, Jeremy Lassen, the publisher of a small book imprint in Portland, Oregon, responded to the news of the Chicago incident by creating a series of photo collages entitled “Bush and Guns,” and posted them to the photo-sharing site, Flikr.
Last week, he says, he himself was paid a visit by the Secret […]


Uninsured

Today I’ve been getting a steady stream of church-based spam about Cover The Uninsured Week, so I was skeptical about a site using those means to advertise, but it really seems on the up and up. There seems to be bipartisan support in all the leaders they’ve chosen to represent them, and all the messages […]


YHBT

I’ve been on Declan McCullagh’s mailing list for the past 3-4 years and when I saw him pimping his article about a possible blogging crackdown from the FEC, I had a strong feeling everyone was being played. The title and lead-in are finely crafted to rile most any blogger, be they right or left […]


Needs more liberty bell

So I grabbed a drum loop and took the audio from my previous post to make this: libertybell.mp3 (600kb, 30 seconds long)
The scary part is that while I added drums behind it, I didn’t edit any of the speech. He actually said those phrases over and over and over again in a single speech.


Freedom. Liberty. Liberty. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Liberty

If you missed last night’s daily show, here’s the very best segment (17Mb mpeg)
I need to extract the audio and provide it for remixes. If anyone figures out how to get a mp3 from the mpeg2 file, post it somewhere and I’ll point some DJs at it.
update: Victor was nice enough to turn out a […]


George Tenet, l33t haxx0r

Tenet calls for Internet security:
Access to networks like the World Wide Web might need to be limited to those who can show they take security seriously, he said
Awesome idea, and should keep just about every single Windows user off the Internets. Who knew Tenet was such a big fan of OS X and Linux?


Like podcasting, only more depressing

I was testing out the new MSN search engine tonight and found an old interview I did last summer that I completely forgot about. It was recorded in July of 2003 and after I spent 10 minutes or so rambling (and from the sound of it, drowsy on several hits of Nyquil) about MetaFilter and […]


The system works

Kottke collected hundreds of reports from folks on how their voting went. But what I want to point out is this: Go to this comment and do an in-page search for the word “Oregon” and find all the rest. Half a dozen pleasant voter experiences from Oregon, all saying pretty much what I said a […]


LazyLawyer Request

Given that Traditional Non-Traditional Weddings are no longer legal in 11 states, I’m wondering why enterprising lawyers in every state aren’t clamoring to produce what basically amounts to “near-marriage in a box.” I know there are over a thousand rights you can’t have as a committed couple that isn’t legally married, but you can certainly […]


Bring on the art
