15. February, 2003 - Only the gummint's allowed to do that
- Government warns 'patriot hackers': Don't be breakin' into other people's computers. Only the gummint's allowed to do that.
- There are anti-war demonstrations planned in over 600 cities worldwide today. The Anti-War Committee has info on Twin Cities events. For a list of events world-wide (including what's predicted to be the largest demonstration ever in London) go to United for Peace. [Jim]
- Now-famous shuttle photo snapped by researchers using an old Mac. The blurry photo taken at the Starfire Optical Range [warning, spooky terms of service] was taken using a 3.5 inch telescope, a webcam, and an 11-year-old Mac.
This is the blurriest picture we've ever taken of anything, and this is the one that makes the front page of the newspapers.

- Def Con Alerts: Collect them All! Finally an explanation of the colors with helpful reminders on how to behave! [boing boing]
- Google as Big Brother talks about the snooping Google does. And suggests that you nominate Google for the The 2003 US Big Brother Awards (which doesn't seem entirely unreasonable). It's probably not going to make me stop using google, but I might think about my searches a little more [scripting]
- Twins 2003. Hey, spring training begins on Monday. And like a few of us have been discussing in the hot-stove league, the Twins did what we thought they had to. Hang on to the guys who got 'em to the playoffs last year, and make room for a few new guys. No big trades, just keep using the talent that's already in the organization and do everything you can to help the guys already on the lineup have good years. [strib]
- Energy Challenge 2003. Think paper airplanes. Think paper airplanes carrying humans. [flutterby]
- Well, apparently folks running on windows machines didn't think much of the Tasteful Muted Colors I used yesterday even though they didn't look too bad on my Mac. Pretty sorry about that. But angry colors seemed like the right thing.
