Applied Memetics for Disillusioned Dems - or - how the Republicans win
Seeded on Thu Feb 16, 2006 1:12 PM EST (nathanpiazza.blogspot.com)
I read this a year ago and it's still on my mind. Look no further for insight into how the Republicans continue to win voters.

Wed Feb 15, 2006 6:27 PM EST
On Monday night of this week (2.13.06) Lou Dobbs took an unusual detour from his usual insistence of only discussing either Broken Borders or The Out-sourcing Of America.

UK soldiers 'filmed beating Iraqis'
Seeded on Tue Feb 14, 2006 10:19 PM EST (CNN)
I saw this on CNN only one time. Video of UK soldiers beating several Iraqi protesters with clubs and kicking them. The cameraman's commentary of the beating is horrible.
Fox's 24 : torture is the only option
Mon Feb 13, 2006 4:50 PM EST
I love the show 24. The only season I didn't watch was #3, when Jack started with the heroine addiction. (can't stand seeing that junk on tv). Anyway, last season (more than others) left me ripping the sides of my couch in anger. I wanted people to be tortured and beaten.

Wire tapping: let's count the ways for abuse
Sat Feb 11, 2006 3:53 PM EST
I was talking about wire tapping with a friend at work, and he said that if in fact the Bu$h administration really was using it to halt attacks, that it might be a good thing.

John Walker: cult inductee
Seeded on Sat Feb 11, 2006 1:02 PM EST (freedomofmind.com)
Back when John Walker was captured, the first thing I said was that he had obviously been seduced by the cult of the Taliban. I had just finished reading a story by the author of this letter, Steven Hassan (who was a Moonie for several years).
Seminar Compares Terrorist Groups To Cults
Seeded on Sat Feb 11, 2006 12:58 PM EST (newsnet5.com)
Here's a short piece from TV newsnet5.com site. Published Oct 28, 2001 - but still not talked about enough. Blurb from article: "A fanatical mindset will poison people with cyanide," Martin said.
A shorter take on the "Muslim" word
Fri Feb 10, 2006 6:14 PM EST
Yesterday I wrote a long post about using the word "Muslim" to define our attackers. This morning, a simpler thought popped in my head.

Will Google cache newsvine original posts
Thu Feb 9, 2006 9:25 PM EST
I've read that some news sites are working deals with google to have their links redirected to registration pages. I've already tried searching google for newsvine articles - but I didn't expect to find anything until newsvine goes live.

"Muslims" are not the terrorists.
Thu Feb 9, 2006 3:31 PM EST
Sorry, I changed the headline from Know thy enemy: 101 because the title stank. ( i hope that's allowed. ) I also made a few edits and tried to shorten it a tad. sorry for the confusion. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please, no more Bush, no more Clinton. We need a fresh start.
Thu Feb 9, 2006 8:12 AM EST
A few months back, a friend told me something and I think he's really right. He said (I'm paraphrasing) that our country probably couldn't handle any more political divisiveness and that, in 2008 we seriously needed a break from both the Bush family and the Clinton family.

U2 Vertigo tour Light Show FX ...what *was* that thing?
Seeded on Mon Feb 6, 2006 8:15 AM EST (stufish.com)
If you caught U2's Live Vertigo tour on HDNet this weekend, and were able to see behind Bono endlessly and (sometimes embarrassingly) mugging to the camera, you might have noticed that their light show was really, really cool.
Will I *ever* get an invite for Yahoo Mail Beta???
Seeded on Sun Feb 5, 2006 11:58 AM EST (siliconbeat.com, http://yahoo.weblogsinc.com/2005/)
I found many articles dating to mid-2005, each saying that Yahoo Mail Beta would be released "soon" to the public. I signed up the second Leo Laporte mentioned in on TWIT, but I'm still waiting.
Acoustic Spying at U C Berkeley - computer can Hear what you type!
Seeded on Sat Feb 4, 2006 10:33 PM EST (berkeley.edu)
I heard about this on TWIT a few weeks ago. An acoustic keylogger. Their program returns 96% accuracy just by listening to you type! ...90% accuracy on nonsense phrases like passwords!! Leo said that the researchers even [stupidly] released their code on the web.
Virtual Nixie Tube clock site
Seeded on Sat Feb 4, 2006 1:04 PM EST (http://www.leapsecond.com/java/nixie.htm)
Still hunting for more cool Nixie tube clocks after seeing Woz's wristwatch. And landed on this site that displays your computer's date and time live, if you have Java enabled. Neat to see, but the tube images are probably too small.
Another nixie tube wristwatch to geek-out with.
Seeded on Fri Feb 3, 2006 4:58 PM EST (cathodecorner.comhttp://www.cathodecorner.com/nixi)
Following up with the last seed, here's another watch made with two Nixie tubes. I wish I could post images here... this one's still in production, displays two digits, is water-resistant, round, and $395.00. All I can say is WOW.
Woz's Nixie Tube Wristwatch
Seeded on Fri Feb 3, 2006 4:39 PM EST (http://www.amug.org/~jthomas/watch.html)
During the "Yellow Lazers" TWIT podcast, Woz talked about a tube-based wristwatch that he loved trying to sneak by the airport security. I finally remembered to check the TWIT site for a link... and Oh Brother is that watch cool! Too bad they're all sold out.

Record Exchange closes in Blacksburg, VA due to down{free}loaders
Seeded on Thu Feb 2, 2006 2:26 PM EST (The Roanoke Times)
This is like losing a good friend. I feel slammed after finding out that my favorite store just went bust. Record Exchange was on my weekly visit list. We rented DVDs there all the time... and now I find out that they just pulled the plug.
