Creepy, yet engaging. With animation and special effects, a few minutes of video can show decades of aging. It happens slowing enough to be almost imperceptible, yet still all within just a few minutes...
Michael J. Totten has a new Kickstarter project running, to finance a reporting trip to Cuba. I'm in – he's one our best independent journalists, a refreshingly blunt observer in the dark corners of the world. As I write this, his project is just $365 short of its tiny $8,000 goal. If you can, and are so inclined, go support him – he's a resource we need in this crazy world...
Maybe it can be unseen? Scientists come up with a way to selectively erase memories. Man, I've seen some things I'd love to be able to forget! Where do I get some?
Because Obama. Hybrid Prius tanks and your own senator for a year! Oh, my. I can't decide whether to laugh or cry – this spoof is funny, but also too damned close to reality...
Judge OKs TSA lying. This is how we all get enslaved to the bureaucrats. Dolores Umbridge would feel right at home there.
We're going to see many things like this. As drone technology evolves, people are going to find more and more useful ways to leverage eyes in the sky. Farmers today, who knows what tomorrow?
When you've lost Bruce Schneier... The crypto community is a-buzz over a comment by Bruce Schneier that strongly implies he no longer trusts NIST's elliptic cryptography standard. Presumably he's concerned about the existence of an NSA backdoor.
He should have canceled the speech. So says Peggy Noonan, and I agree. He didn't have much to say, and he said it badly...
I don't even like Jello. So why is this so fascinating?
So wrong, on so many levels. The WSJ editorial board weighs in with a good analysis of Putin's rescue of The One. You just can't make this stuff up!
The missing symbol. An evocative artifact of 9/11 that won't be in the 9/11 museum. Why not? Short answer: progressive political correctness...
man ascii and four other very useful *nix commands. Three of these were new to me. I'll use them, if I can remember them :)
Ginormous aquifer discovered in Kenya. They sure need the water badly in many parts of Africa. I worry, though, about aquifer depletion as has happened in the western U.S....
Amazing acrobatic duet. Via my mom...
