Bits and pieces

Hideous portal to Gael’Thoth.

Never mind the farce of which “leader” to elect the Conservative Party can make fools of themselves by just trying to have an internal election.


Meme

From thessalian:

1. Reply with your name and I’ll respond with something random about you.
2. I’ll tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I’ll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle with you in.
4. I’ll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I’ll tell you my first memory of…


Oh, and…

Ganked from thessalian: When you see this on your flist, quote Firefly.

Well, my days of not taking you seriously are certainly coming to a middle…

(Not aimed at anyone obviously) :-D


Current stuff

How the executed Brazillian was no threat and the Brazillain authorities coming to investigate. Proposed Iraq constitution could cause chaos. Internal FBI documents label peace groups as terrorists. Fear on the ground in Iraq leads to terrible bridge disaster. Bolton no sooner gets to the UN than he…


Firefly

The Signal Special Edition #3.

The Signal Special Edition #4.

The Signal edition #8.

Non-show cast shots 1/3 (I’m not a big fan of these).

Non-show cast shots 2/3.

Non-show cast shots 3/3.

Reaver action figure.

RPR review. I’ve seen this — I cannot understate how amazingly shiny it is — even for…


Is this cool or scary?

Can’t decide whether the coolness of the technology behind this outweighs the scariness of it.

Combination of Google Maps and traffic cameras.

On the one hand you can check the traffic “live” in London from many locations — on the other hand how Big Brother is this?


Random things

While the US considers relaxing Posse Comitatus and as the FBI gears up for the new highly important war on porn (consentual, legal variety — “the war on terror must be won” one agent is quoted as saying) at least some people are listing how 1984 has arrived even if it’s 21 years late.


More or New Orleans

As parts of the army declare how they are going to fight the New Orleans “Insurgency” doesn’t having soldiers on the streets armed with M16s and shoot-to-kill orders regardless of their designation make rather a mockery of Posse Comitatus?


More of the same

Photoshopped image of one of the inhabitants of New Orleans together with President Bush. Made from two photos taken on the same…


Sing along now : When will they ever learn…

More things to make thessalian angry…

While George W. Bush, Republican Preident (the Republicans — the party of small government) has increaed American spending 35% since coming to power Tony Blair is off setting up a £40bn arms…


Concise and well put

In a Slashdot article on the American military buying antrax Itchy Rich said the following which I think is an excellent quote:

> Stop the US bashing

Stop bombing people. Stop toppling democratically elected governments. Stop preaching about…


Free market gambling of ideas

Google, who is, is using the idea of an “internal intellectual free market” to predict when various internal projects will ship. The idea is by giving each individual a certain amount of google-dollers they can invest part of it in when they think certain products will be…


Iraq (new boss just like the old boss)

Since the President wouldn’t sign the condemnation order for the first state executions in Iraq since Saddam Hussein was removed his deputy was more than happy to do it. Seems the chances of a agreed constitution look slim given that they can’t agree on something this fundimental even at the highest levels.
