1. June, 2003 - North Country Emergency Benefit
- There’s an Emergency Benefit for North Country Coop, Sunday June 1st 5:30pm. That’s today. The benefit is to raise enough money for the downpayment to buy the building that holds the coop. Their landlord has tried to sell the building out from under them, and this is probably their only chance to stay in the same location.
- Third assault of bicyclists on Minneapolis bike path by a loitering gang of yoots. The path is the Cedar Lake Trail, which is basically a bicycle freeway, and they’re doing it near the 394 and 94 underpasses. Maybe someone should point out to these criminals that Minnesota has a new concealed-carry law. [strib]
- Would-be pistol packers are surging to the gun shops. Yeah, it’s slanted, as you’d guess from the headline, but it does point out the demand for concealed-carry training that’s required for the permit, and the number of people who are looking into arming themselves. [strib]
- Terror threat level lowered to ‘elevated’. Woo! It’s only yellow now! That means it’s safe to prop open the bunker door once in a while, right? But yeah, it must be working, since no terrorists have attacked. [fark!]
- Fireworks Shows Put in Doubt by New Rules. The terrorists have already won.
- The FBI has been reading my diary tells of a college gal who kept a blog. And got a visit from
The FBI
, except they turned out to be local cops. Now she’s encouraging everyone to give up their blogs because the federales might be snooping. [scott mcgerik]
- The Photographers Right is a one-page summary of what rights you have as a photographer in public. Handy if you’re taking pictures in a public space and someone tells you that you’re not allowed to. [flutterby]
- SCO Says It Will Reveal Its Code soon, but only under NDA to selected analysts and reporters.
- Here’s another idea of how to deal with SCO: if Novell were to GPL System V (why not, since they’re not selling it anymore?), that’d pretty much solve all the problems, wouldn’t it? [holy schmoly]
- McDonald’s sues critic for comparing their burgers to rubber and their fries to cardboard. Apparently they thought the burgers should be compared to carboard, and the fries to rubber. Hey, if people are allowed to sue critics, there’s an awful lot of critics in trouble. [metafilter]
