Backscatter x-rays are the latest annoyance from the TSA. Some people suggest letting the TSA know they have to meet the resistance, rather than being seen in the virtual nude.

Meanwhile, concerns are being raised about the radiation dose from these scanners as the full dose is being applied to the skin rather than passing through the body like conventional x-rays. Is the TSA being callous about people's health as a result of enthusiastic lobbyists.

Then again perhaps people are finally fed up with security theatre.

omg!



From Jessica Harrison, who is quite skilled at ceramics, it would seem, but VERY macabre. She has a set of flowers using human parts, too... tongue-rose petals and trumpet flowers of lips...

There may be some downtime in the next several hours as I change servers. Apologies for the incovenience.

Hey, have any of you guys heard of Octoshape? Apparently it's a Flash player add-on that uses other users' computers to transmit signal to your reader (like torrents, I'm assuming).

It seems like a really weird application, but also really useful for streaming media.

It looks like it is going to look like a thinner version of Mr.Copperplate.

I thought this might be Mo-Al relevant:

Got some errands to run but I might be able to make this event.

There is a free scotch tasting today at Vinomania (liquor store on jasper ave) from 12-4. with 15% of scotch purchases. I'm probably heading over around 3ish. want to learn something and get my dad a gift. Anyone up for some fine drinking?

Well frankly I guess I should push harder or I would be letting at least two people down:

Hello friends,

You may have noticed that a certain asian engineer’s upper lip has gotten darker, and you may have wondered if it is dirt or that he forget to shave? The answer to your questions is that he is hopelessly trying to grow a moustache to raise funds for a cause very dear to his heart. What event you may ask could cause him to do such a thing? Well recently a very close friend of mine was diagnosed with stomach cancer and just before the critical operation was to be performed he married his childhood sweat heart so that he would have something to fight for. In another instance a cousin was diagnosed with cancer and is still struggling with it. I for one don’t want anyone to close their eyes on a operating table hoping the next time they open them that they can see the love of their life again, nor do I think that we should think that we have to struggle alone. So I ask you my friends to please give what you can so that together we can give hope for a future where no one has to struggle alone or die needlessly.

Movember

Thank you for your time,
Albert Yeong
