Aggressive investing, and the virtues of Venus
(MarketWatch/Netscape)
-
While women seek a long-term relationship, men tend to 'date' their stocks -- constantly trading them in for a sexier, younger model.Good ol' testosterone gets the blame ... yet again.

Dutch women's breasts bigger than ever, survey finds
(Expatica)
-
"It is difficult to explain why British and Dutch women have the biggest breasts. They are not the fattest women in Europe. You also see more slender women with a small waist in a D cup."Yet another reason to visit Amsterdam, sheesh.

Bewitched by Harry Potter
-
The witchcraft and wizardry in Harry Potter books may be fantasy, but they familiarize children with a very real and increasingly popular religion ヨ one that few really understand. Far removed from the terrors of tribal witchcraft and shamanism, Americans are oblivious to the bondages that normally follow occult favors. But historical and archeological records have traced the earth-centered myths, practices, and consequences through the millennia.Have you ever wondered why some parents call their kids "little devils?"

From Hell
(Rotten Tomatoes)
-
An intense urban spin on the horrific legend of Jack the Ripper and unravels a chilling alleged conspiracy involving the highest powers in EnglandBoyCaught saw this one yesterday, and that seems appropriate on the eve of Halloween. Brooding, dark and stylish, this flick proves that young Black filmmakers like the Hughes Brothers can make any kind of movie they want to make, not just movies about life in "da hood" (as if that's all we know about.) Ultimately, that niche-jumping is the most significant thing accomplished here. Epinion on this film forthcoming.

New Forms of Journalism
-
The following links provide information about new forms of personal journalism ラ including weblogs, collaborative news sites, personal broadcasting, and more.A great page of links pointing to various stories about weblogs and related "forms of discourse." BoyCaught, however, is not so quick to agree that weblogging is only an extension of journalism. To him, a good weblog is more like a private radio station than anything else: some "stations" are all-news, some are all-entertainment, some are personal confessionals, and some allow the so-called audience to interact with the programming, but most are ecletic mixes of many different content streams ... not just news and op-ed pieces.

Smart Shirt
-
The Smart Shirt System utilizes a groundbreaking electro-optical textile, the Wearable MotherboardT, to seamlessly incorporate sensory capabilities with radio and computing devices, representing a highly effective and unobtrusive means of integrating broad-based sensors with the human body.This is pretty cool. BoyCaught wonders if any US soldiers are utilizing this kind of technology on the ground in Afghanistan right now.

Halloween Errors and Lies
-
Every year in October, some folks begin shouting that Neopagans must be "stopped" from celebrating Halloween, which they describe as a "Satanic" holiday. Many Christian Fundamentalists say loudly and publically that we Druids, Witches and other Neopagans kidnap children, sacrifice babies, poison or boobytrap Halloween treats, drink blood, and hold orgies at Halloween.Next witness.

Training Day
(Rotten Tomatoes)
-
Every day, there is a war being waged on Americaメs inner city streets ヨ a war between residents, drug dealers and the people sworn to protect one from the other.Pretty good movie. An Epinion is forthcoming, but suffice it to say: this ain't the Denzel all the ladies have grown to love. He's really bad in this one.

Christianity and Halloween
-
The Druids of old adhered to strange dietary restrictions, and on the night of the Festival of Death they go from home to home demanding these peculiar foods. If the people comply, they pass on in silence; if their demands are not met, the people and their home are cursed with trouble, sickness and death.Oh man. So what happens if you just ran out of candy when these Druid mofos come by?

Private anthrax lab doable
(The Washington Times)

Though not at all simple, experts agree -- and a government program demonstrated within the past three years -- it would be possible for a private group with expertise and resources to create the anthrax sent to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle.And so the plot thickens.

Why every terrorist needs a website
(This Is London)
-
It might dominate Al Jazeera's schedules, but in the propaganda war al Qaeda has made one glaring error: where's the website, guys? Al Qaeda's lack of a news site is distinctly unfashionable. Most of the West's "pro-scribed terrorist organisations" maintain web pages that let them bypass the media and publish press releases, galleries of "mar-tyrs" and calls to arms, often in English.

US should tackle global poverty, says Clinton
(Independent News)
-
Bill Clinton called on the United States yesterday to do more to combat global poverty, saying America's war against the al-Qa'ida network had to go hand in hand with addressing the problems of the developing world.BoyCaught likes this. As long as Americans are perceived as greedy fat-*sses, people who like driving around in gas-guzzling cars and generally scarfing up the lion's share of all the good things on this planet, then poor, desperate people in faraway lands will see the US as the enemy. And some of them will strike out.

Steal This Essay 1: Content Is a Pure Public Good
(TidBITS)
-
Put simply, in a world where there are essentially no costs to replicate content and it is effectively impossible to stop anyone from doing so at will, the current economic model underpinning content creation will be dead.Actually, BoyCaught has heard most of the arguments presented here before -- even as he "borrows" some of someone else's content (above) to make a point -- but this one was blogged just to bookmark the discussion, and largely in order to serve as a reminder to look for the ciffhanger follow-up, wherein the author claims he'll explain why encryption will not be enough to save the publishing industry.

Front and center for Jordan has its price
(ESPN.com)
-
How much is it worth to sit courtside with Spike Lee in Madison Square Garden for Michael Jordan's debut with the Washington Wizards? That's still to be decided.With time ticking away in the Yahoo! Auction, the front-row seat next to the ultimate Knicks fan for the Oct. 30 home opener against the Wizards is up to $100,100.You've got to be kidding! Air Jordan is cool and all, and a charity will benefit from this, but with people losing their jobs all over the place, and a war effort underway, who's the knucklehead willing to pay over $100K to see a basketball game, with Spike Lee? Stay tuned.

Anthrax attacks now being linked to US right-wing cranks
(Independent UK)
-
Investigators are increasingly convinced that a lone individual or group of people living in the US are behind the mailings of the white powder, which have claimed the life of a British-born picture editor and brought parts of the US media, political and economic infrastructure to a standstill ... There is plenty of other circumstantial evidence pointing to the letters being the work of someone sympathetic to the 11 September hijackers ヨ but it is only circumstantial.For some reason, BoyCaught keeps thinking about "To Kill A Mockingbird." Boo Radley did it. Lots of US-based groups have an interest in fomenting the kind of race-dipped paranoia and fear we're seeing right now. More on this later. (b/w net.headlines, solid!)

Bowl Championship Series
(ESPN.com/ABC Sports)
-
The rankings on the first week of BCS:
- Oklahoma - 3.06
- Nebraska - 6.40
- UCLA - 8.34
- Miami (Fla.) - 12.01
- Virginia Tech - 13.88
- Texas - 15.35
- Michigan - 15.91
- Maryland - 21.29
- Tennessee - 22.07
- Washington St. - 23.05
- Florida - 23.48
- Washington - 26.90
- Oregon - 28.96
- Stanford - 29.86
- South Carolina - 35.31
... and Stanford gets some love, mostly because they went up to Oregon and beat the Ducks. If only the Cardinal had held off Wazzoo last week, we'd be in the running for one of the really big bowls. Let's see how we do against UCLA this week.

Would it alarm you if I told that young male IT professionals are designing the future while women are sitting back and letting them get on with it?
