But, let's get back into regularly scheduled programming with a roundup of the AList chatter:
Tim Stay and I had a great discussion last week about the entrepeneurial spirit of people in developing countries. Boing Boing gives a great example: " Azmeraw Zeleke, an Ethiopian machinist, has a startup that converts used mortar shells into coffee-makers." Talk about making lemonade!
Dvorak Uncensored on NASA's decision to repair Hubble: "Glad to see they’re not complete idiots."
Obscure Store and Reading Room: "Christopher Soghoian says he was just trying to highlight a flaw in the nation's airline security procedures when he put a tool on his website letting anyone create fake boarding passes. The FBI visited him a few days ago and hauled away his computers." Does that mean my Photoshop and Illustrator applications may be confiscated as well?
Instapundit: "Even if they agree that speed limits are necessary, many motorists resent having to obey them all the time. " I feel the same about having to pay money at the grocery store - sometimes I just don't feel like it, and the store should just cut me some slack.Huffington Post: "You want a President who can tell a joke with the timing of Comedy Central anchor? Clearly, John Kerry is not your man. Watching him as he botched a joke he's told a hundred times clearly shows that Jon Stewart's seat is absolutely, positively safe." I think the reaction to his comment shows that someone's a little sensitive.
