David Kushner at the Wired Blog has posted a long piece called, Two AI Pioneers. Two Bizarre Suicides. What Really Happened?

It's some fascinating, compelling reading, should any of you find the time or interest.

Just saw this story. The details in paragraph four are...ominous, frankly. Not sure if this has been verified anywhere else, yet.

And in our ongoing series about double-standards, I offer this story, from the Counterterrorism Blog. Again, I have not checked the assertion that the "he outcry in the Muslim world did not begin in earnest until Islamists showed off a number of fabricated cartoons which were never actually published by the newspaper in Denmark."

Italics theirs, not mine.

Looks like Portland's on the hit-list. Portland instructions are in the "t" in the word "without." Looks like you start at Voodoo Doughnuts, but I could be wrong.

Me, I've got kids and no clown suit, so count me out. But I'm curious as to what will be found.

And jonlaw, looks like DC will be hopping.
