AnnouncementsIt's a dark day in the state of Wisconsin.
My Wisconsin State Journal blares VOTERS: BAN GAY MARRIAGE on it's front page. It's a dark day indeed.
Never before has our state constitution been used to limit the rights of the people of the State of Wisconsin.
I take solice that I believe in the long-run, the right thing
will be done, but now it seems very dark. But it was dark for the Civil Rights Movement when Martin Luther King was assassinated, and they won in the long-run. It was dark in the movement for Women's Suffrage before they finally succeeded.
To me, though, this is why we don't have a Direct Democracy -- the American public votes in too small numbers, and are too easily misled by false prophets. (or, is it really profits?)
Democrats
may have won many important
races, but where it really counts, we've proven that we don't really care, and aren't paying attention.

AnnouncementsHaving made this coding error several times myself, this makes me laugh.
Schneier on Security: Torture Bill as C CodeKevin boils down the new terrorist (and others) arrest/detainment/torture bill into a small piece of C code:
if (person = terrorist) { punish_severely(); } else { exit(-1); }There's one obvious error, but there are other problems with the code. Anyone care to comment? (BoingBoing commentary.)

AnnouncementsSo, I'm riding my bike down the street, minding my own business....
When I come across a Glass Nickel Pizza delivery car double-parked, blocking an entire lane of traffic. Now, I'm all for pizza delivery being the top priority users of the road, and Glass Nickel is one of the best pizza places in Madison (it may be the best -- depends on my mood) BUT in this case, he was completely blocking one direction, and he wasn't even as close to his destination as possible!
You'll note the destination house on the left, with ample parking immediately in front. Even if he didn't want to turn around or park illegally the wrong way, he could park one car length further down the street in his direction of travel.
That is all.
