things

I meant to link this stuff yesterday, but work + recalcitrant livejournal stopped me:

• One less thing to follow up from McCarthy's Bar: Noel Redding dies
• One more nail in the coffin of a free and open society: Students get USSS grilling (the really freaky bit, I thought, was that they were shopped by their teacher) (via Metafilter)
• Eric Hancock, another lj user I read fairly regularly, has lots of good stuff to say. I had a specific item in mind but damned if I can recall what it was.
• Danny O'Brien tweaks spamfilter to cater for his particular problems. Maybe you should too, instead of perhaps complaining about spamfilter's false positives or whatever.

Dammit, I know I'm missing some stuff here.

still haven't found what I'm looking for

No WMD yet. I don't even know why they're bothering at this point. I mean, really. Who cares? Those who think the war was over WMD will continue to believe that the weapons are hidden. Those who think the war had little or nothing to do with WMD will continue to smugly point to articles like this.
