A poem that appeared in Pakistani children’s english class books had a weird stanza. All the lines’ first letters spelled out “President George W Bush”. We’ll probably never hear exactly how that poem ended up there, but it sure would be interesting…

Pakistan deletes ‘pro-Bush’ poem [BBC News]
Det här receptet skall jag prova om jag får tid – låter gott och det är alltid rolig(are) att göra egen glögg 
Ingredienser:
2 kanelstänger, brutna i delar
1 tesked kardemummakärnor
1 bit skalad ingefära
Rivet skal från en halv apelsin
6 (hela) kryddnejlikor
1¼ dl vodka
750 ml (1 flaska) torrt rött vin
2½ dl portvin eller Madeira
2¼ dl socker
1 matsked vaniljsocker
2¼ dl skållade, hela mandlar
1,5 dl russin
Krossa kanelstänger och kardemumma med en mortel. Lägg dem i en skål och tillsätt ingefära, apelsinskal, kryddnejlika och vodka. Låt stå och dra ett dygn.
Sila vodkan genom en fin sil i en stor kastrull och släng kryddorna. Tillsätt vin, portvin eller Madeira, socker, vaniljsocker, mandlar och russin. Värm vätskan i kastrullen, tills det precis börjar bildas bubblor i kanterna.
Fast jag struntar nog i mandlar och russin i den här fasen, och har det enbart till servering…

A US post, and to some extent valid mostly in the US. However, whenever I meet “denialists” elsewhere, they tend to be die-hard conservatives (ergo, there must be something to it, right?)

Very cool looking – but it must be a pain to ride, right? Those wheels are so tiny… imagine trying to get up a curb. Oh well, pure eye candy in any case

It’ stories like this that make piratebay so “successful”…
Bruce Schneier almost always have smart things to say and this essay is no exception. As a european, I can’t fail to notice the exact same pattern here. There’s hardly a day that passes by without at least one story about suspicious content that brought out the whole shebang of police equipment extraordinaire.
The first part of a howto for setting up FreeRADIUS to increase the security of your home network. I really like the site SmallNetBuilder (not the least because they cover the NAS market far better than anyone else) & I really should work on securing my wireless a lot more…
Agility is “hot” these days (or well, have been hot for the last 2-3 years, but are really only now picking up steam – at least among those companies I frequent), and in the wealth of articles, people, conferences etc. lauding the agile approach this article is a welcome piece of reality check.
At least for me. This is my thinking in a nutshell. Canned Architecture
Maybe not turning out to be the stuff that helps to solve crimes though

Update: And the day after comes the story of a couple of swedes stealing from grannies being caught because of the CCTV coverage. Oh well, great to see them being useful at least once… Tjuvar lurade gamla vid bankomater [link in swedish].
Americans never fail to amaze (not to say that there’s not plenty of Americans – the tens of millions of them – that aren’t from another planet) me… Check these (rather old but most likely still valid to a large extent) stats out.
