- Paul T. Riddell asks Do you remember rock and roll radio? It's the first I've heard of SDARS, which doesn't sound like a bad idea. For $10 a month, you get to bypass the jabbering DJs and commercials.
- Pirate radio goes legit: The FCC is thinking of allowing micro-power (less than 100 watts, which gives about a seven mile broadcast range) FM radio stations.
- Dot-com town puts Internet on the map. The first town I've heard of to change its name to a dot-com, anyhow.
- The Minneapolis Snow Emergency page will tell you where you can park when it snows around here. It's just some of the fun of living in Minnesota in the winter.
- The USPS will tell you How to Pack a Hippo. This is a pretty normal page (heck, some might call it useful), except for the hippo part.
- One hundred year old babies found in UK - another Y2K bug.
- Incrementalism on steroids is a Tenth Amendment update.
- Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell Encryption explains how the ambiguities in the new crypto regulations arre still worth fighting. Crypto-Gram -- January 15, 2000 has links to more commentary.
- Spycam City isn't a report about some place in the UK. It's right here in the US. From the sound of things, it won't be long before we take the lead in suveillance, and I mean that in the worst way.
