MIT engineers investigate foil hat effectiveness
My favorite part is that apparently they _amplify_ frequencies reserved to the US government. Heh heh heh...

music for the deaf
26 October 2005 13:00Wired: My Bionic Quest for Bolero
A first-person account of a deaf person's "pursuit of the perfect audio upgrade" to allow him to enjoy music as he did before his total hearing loss. Fascinating stuff, especially for anyone who's had to think about technological fixes for their body's systems failures.

David Brin's tongue-in-cheek defense of the notion that we're all living in a simulation...centered on Bush. This one's for any MMM folks that miss our discussions on this topic.

Brilliant: a script for handling telemarketers. Presumably much like the one they have for handling you. Let the script duels begin!
Like any red-blooded, masculine man of the male gender, I love PVC weaponry. You should too. If the concept of heading on down to the local Home Depot and transforming $100 worth of random pipe bits into a killing machine doesn’t appeal to you, you’re a frikkin' pansy. Also, you’re probably sane and will live significantly longer than I will. Nonetheless you disgust me, and I take comfort in the knowledge that your obituary will be nowhere near as humorous as mine. For those of you who laugh in the face of hypersonic shards of plastic puncturing your spleen, here’s an intimate look at how I’ve kept myself busy for the past week: building a PVC flamethrower.
