Thursday update/linkdump
May. 24th, 2007 11:17 am1. Still sick (so not a huge amount of surfing today), and had lots of fun work stress over the last two hours. Also, no Thai food because someone called a lunch meeting. Free lunch is good, but Thai food would be better.
2. Open-source cola! Complete with GPL!
3.
cheshyre does a great job noting assorted problems with the whole Fanlib debacle.
4. Michael Baroody, the candidate for the Consumer Product Safety Commission whose major qualification was that he came pre-bribed, has withdrawn his candidacy. Of course, John Bolton withdrew his candidacy for an appointment once, and we all know what happened there. Take this with the same grain of salt.
5. Language Log on journalism and accurate baseball quotes.
6. For my wife (and any other fans): A Rilo Kiley video.
7. The latest Wired has a great article on how the lead singer of Linkin Park was cyberstalked. But after reading it, it's hard not to be a little bit let down on realizing that the reason his account was hacked was because he used his fucking middle name (Charlie) as his password. I bet he uses "12345" as the password on his luggage.
