  • Fringe Alaskan Independence Party: Palin was a Member September 2, 2008
    McCain's campaign likes to herald the independence of its new running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Officials of the Alaskan Independence Party say that Palin was once so independent, she was once a member of their party, which has been pushing for a legal vote on whether or not residents of the 49th state can secede from the U.S.
  • sbuffalo commented on CAPTCHAs flummox bots, but may be doomed by CAPTCHA farmers September 1, 2008
    so does this mean that someone solves a captcha and it goes in a database of "solved?" It seems like there's only so many manual solvings that can happen per person per day. It would be much easier to say this captcha equals "XYZ."
  • CAPTCHAs flummox bots, but may be doomed by CAPTCHA farmers September 1, 2008
    CAPTCHAs were once considered proof (or at least an excellent defense) against the likes of spammers and automated registration programs, but those days appear to be almost over. CAPTCHA-cracking is now big business in India, and a means of gainful (if not quite legitimate) employment.

    For those of you playing at home

    Filed under: 2008 flood, Iowa, midwest;

    It looks like things are going well for our fair city. I am amazed that in the middle of a natural disaster I’ve been to equal amounts of sand bagging and dinner parties. The Iowa river valley in Iowa City is deep enough that the 5 minutes of bike time I need to get home is enough to make things like strikingly normal. The mail came through today, Hy-Vee has bottled water on the shelves, and yesterday SB-IC took in a movie.

    I’ve got more photos coming via Flickr that include a bunch of aerial photos taken yesterday.
