Too busy to write much, but here are a few random shots around the web:
- Radley Balko has a way with headlines. The whole post is worth reading.
- When you go through the TSA checkpoints at some airports, body image scanners can now check you for weapons…and see you naked through your clothes. If we put up with this just to fly a plane, is there any limit to how much the government can demand to invade our privacy?
- If you’re a computer geek, you’ll probably appeciate this. If you’re geeky enough to understand what SQL injection is, you’ll laugh at this. If you’re a super-geek with knowledge of non-discretionary computer security standards and covert channels, you’ll gape in wonder at this.
- To balance out the computer geekiness, here are a few amateur model portfolios that came up at random: Amy, Leslie, and Bunny.
I’ll try to post something I actually wrote a little later. Take that as a promise or a threat.
I was fascinated by the subtext of the model who explains that her boyfriend will be along on any shoots or conversations. Understandable, and nicely handled.
Conflating photography, geekiness, and guns, I assume you have seen the stuff at http://www.olegvolk.net/gallery/technology/arms . The world being a twisty place, I know a fair number of people (and a couple of the guns) in some of the pictures, and not just because I was the first person to take Oleg shooting, some years ago.
