Short links snacktime



  • About the 2001-themed images above and below, BB reader Jack says, "Teh astronaut cat inspired me to make them."

  • Best iPod inscription ever: It's time for hoboes to take over the US government.

  • Dave Bullock's snaps from Black Hat hacker con, which ends today: Richard Clarke, Dan Kaminsky, Phil "zphone" Zimmerman.

  • Booze-themed lipgloss/chapstick products seemingly marketed at tweens and kids.

  • Earthlink wants the City of San Francisco to guarantee baseline revenue before it will light up muni wireless project. LOL.

  • San Francisco orders medical weed dispensaries to sell fatter bags.

  • Hey, speaking of stoners! Pro-pot lobbyists are tops on congressional softball team, ahead of teams for DNC, RNC, Sen. McCain, DoJ.

    (thanks, brooklyngirl.com, Dave, and anonymous others!)


    Reader comment: Anonymous says,

    The inscription on apelad's ipod is from John Hodgman's book, on page 123, where he shows the hobo-sign for the coming hobo government take-over. That same hobo sign is hidden in each of the lolcats comics created by apelad. Look for an H in sunrays.
