The 82nd Airborne broke into DirectNIC's DC last night, and the building as well. As a result of thier stupidity, it was suggested that the building was secure until they entered it and there might be other people in the building. 28 floors. No elevators. pwn3d.

Here's a link from the Army that details the history of the New Orleans pumping stations and designs. It should be noted that these pumps are absolutely phenomenal in most senses; not only were they well ahead of thier time (they look like jet engines), but they also moved insane amounts of fluids. Several of the pumps were rated to 1,000 cfs -- cubic feet per second. Unless you're used to dealing with those units, you don't realize that's something on the order of 16 million gallons per minute. It's well worth the read if you are an engineer or engineering student of any kind. -- Catonic History of the NOLA Pumping Stations |

A state police department has to pay $41,000 to a man who they stopped from filming them. I imagine we'll soon see lots of video clips of troopers sitting on the side of the road, sleeping. At least that's what I'm hoping for. Citizens Free to Videotape Cops |

Now for the other handheld devices, there's "It Plays Quake". Finally, I get a reprieve from Doom. I used to waste a lot of time on Quake. Probably one of the few reasons I'm any good at driving. ("I'm an excellent driver. Just ask any of my passengers -- as soon as they have thier fingers pried off the dash and seats.") Portable Quake |

Someone has made a site, which promotes itself to be what Martha Stewart would be like if she were gothic. Tips for making stuff, gothic home furnishing, etc. Interesting, but how far can you go with Gothicism? The Gothic Martha Stewart |
