14. March, 2003 - Friday Fun
- AP Protests Gov't Seizure of Package. Customs seized the package, which contained a copy of an unclassified FBI report being FedExed from the AP office in Manila to the one in Washington. Nobody told AP, and the FBI just kept the package. So now the FBI’s trampling the first and fourth amendments.
- FBI Plane Mistaken For Terrorists. Hey, they said we should watch for suspicious behavior…
- 'Google Stalkers' Troll for Lost Acquaintances. Reuters is apparently just figuring this out. Yep, they’re right on top of the news. [metafilter]
- There was a show on the History Channel sometime recently (I watched it last night) about the Save Our Sounds project. Good stuff they’re doing. I just wish it was easier to find all the stuff they’ve released on their Folkways label. At $20 a pop, a burn-on-demand CD-R seems like a good way to support the effort.
- Speaking of cultural artifacts, Cassius Marcellus Coolidge—the man behind Dogs Playing Poker. You knew there had to be a website about it out there, and now I’ve found it, thanks to MetaFilter. Be sure to check out the gallery, too. [metafilter]
- Nope. I don’t think I’m going to buy a Turd Twister!
If you are a fan of gag gifts… this will surely make them gag!
almost sold me, but not quite. [metafilter]
