Via Grapplinghook.org, the western world's finest martial arts weblog, comes this… this… thing you need to see. Because nothing is better than a dog that knows judo. (requires Flash.)

I went through a whole long process of researching, trying, failing, trying again, debugging, and head pounding, trying to connect to my mac from work over SSH. Finally I asked my local mac and all-around computing supergenius for help.
The IS department at my company has not only blocked the SSH port, but their hardware […]

Wikipedia has banned entire blocks of IP addresses coming from the US House and Senate, after it was discovered that staffers there have been going on a rampage of lies, vandalism, and general bullshit. These are the people who are in charge of the country.

Cloaked in camouflage and no bigger than a breadbox, a new addition to many soldiers' backpacks is a five-book kit intended to “help men and women find freedom from sexual temptation God's way.”
