Those wacky Americans are at it again! They've apparently been considering printing quotes from their constitution on their money, while at the same time embedding tracking devices to eradicate privacy.

Today I received the web address of "The Adventures of ACTION ITEM! ...Professional Superhero!" This is a classic strip about the utter uselessness of corporate buzzword language.

I got the new Lego summer catalog this afternoon.
Trains, bulk, Mindstorms 2.0, various cool little things...

A project to challenge Adobe for using the ridiculous American DMCA legislation to have a Russian security analyist arrested for identifying just how insecure Adobe's PDF technology is.

The Lego Desk. I was reminded of this today. It's a full-size, functional, desk made entirely out of Lego. The crazy thing is, the guy who wanted it had it custom built - instead of building it himself. Now that is weird.

"The Emerald Chapel... is the religious center for the city of Bricktopia."
An excellent and hillarious Lego model. "The people of Bricktopia worship the god of interest rates."
It gets weirder:
The chapel's "Chamber of Forgiveness" features a Lego dominatrix extracting tithes from the church's followers.
