High Crosswinds
Posted in HEH, VIDEO DU JOUR, WTF? on March 4, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Holy Mackerel! Having been on a few flights in recent weeks where we landed, not to mention took off, in heavy crosswinds — and lived to tell the tale — I thought I would post this video (I haven’t posted a video du jour in a long while). There’s something a bit unsettling to me [...]

I’m Inclined To Believe Floyd Landis
Posted in GEEKDOM, HEH, LIFE SCIENCES, WTF? on July 30, 2006 | Comments Off
Having said that, if he’s bluffing and doping was the case it’s a dark day for cycling. But I think he’s clean, and the WSJ published an intelligent piece. Booze can alter the ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone, in the WSJ article: “I don’t ordinarily ever drink alcohol during a race,” he said yesterday. But [...]
EFF Files Lawsuit Against AT&T
Posted in POLITICS, SECURITY & PRIVACY, WTF? on January 31, 2006 | Comments Off
This is going to be very interesting. I wonder how ATT customers and shareholders will respond. From the Electronic Frontier Foundation‘s website: The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed a class-action lawsuit against AT&T on January 31, 2006, accusing the telecom giant of violating the law and the privacy of its customers by collaborating with the [...]
Who Let The Killer Dolphins Out

Great. Just when you thought is was safe to paddle out and escape the stresses of dealing with airport and subway security you discover someone forgot to disarm the killer dolphins when Katrina hit: My concern is that they have learnt to shoot at divers in wetsuits who have simulated terrorists in exercises. If divers [...]
Production Design

I recall a New York Times article a while back talking about the television genius Scott Sforza who does the production design and set-up for Bush events, I’m curious to learn if the ZDF report is true. If anyone can confirm and point me to a link at ZDF or a verifiable source please email.
From Joan Touzet’s blog: Here is a mirrored copy of the mp3 of the WWL radio interview with Mayor Ray Nagin of New Orleans. Warning, strong language and reality check. Don’t believe everything you hear on CNN. [edit: Now uncensored version, starts earlier.] From Andrew Sullivan’s blog: QUOTE OF THE DAY II: “‘The good news [...]
Used Hydraulic Fluid For Soap

Wouldn’t you think that disposal of waste products is part of the job. What could these guys have been thinking? Management has a responsibility to ensure stuff like this doesn’t happen. And for this to happen in a hospital environment, geez. “We regret when any patient suffers,” Duke said, adding that there is “always some [...]
World Gone Copyright Mad
Posted in PHOTOGRAPHY, WTF? on June 7, 2005 | Comments Off
link via: waxy The world’s gone copyright mad, it’s official. A photo lab refused to hand over customer pics to the customer because they looked “professional” and the customer didn’t have a release form from the photographer, despite the fact that the customer was the photographer. Yes, you read that correctly, if the pics looked [...]

What in fsck sake could they have been thinking sending tapes containing customer data for 3.9 million accounts in such a manner? At least tell me the data is encrypted with a strong key.
