So then, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? Via Volokh.
Would you like a genetically engineered pet? Slashdot reports on a glow-in-the-dark fish.
Also from Slashdot, a first success in the fight against voting machines that don't have a physical back-up.
Kucinich is now involved in exposing the Diebold voting scam. How long before Kucinich's ISP is told to take down his page, huh? Via Lessig.
And also on the voting front, a rather brutal opinion about voting machines (via Mikhaela's News Blog). Key quote: Diebold’s CEO, Walden O’Dell, is an enthusiastic Bush supporter who has publicly vowed to deliver his home state of Ohio’s 2004 electoral votes to the incumbent. The editorial also mentions BlackBoxVoting.org, a site that actually has some disturbing information about voting in my home county, as the site originates from my hometown!
The Gravity and Chaos Club at Western Washington University has been Slashdotted. As Western is my Alma Mater, I really would like to see the pictures of thousands of bouncing balls in Bond Hall. I spent many, many hours in Bond Hall, learning how to use the internet. Many hours.

So there's a Wizard con in Texas, and there was a DC panel that presented a whole bunch of "news" that wasn't very new. The only thing of interest that I've read from the con so far is in this article, an almost throwaway line: More details about Swamp Thing Bad Seed were revealed including the fact that after Andy Diggle’s first arc, Will Pfeifer would be taking over as writer for the series. So, Pfeifer is taking on another book? Will this affect his other books, like, oh, Aquaman?
Frankly, I'm more interested in the Hellboy trailer that I can't watch on my main browser. Luckily, I managed to fiddle with my Internet Exploder enough that it played a very slow and pause-riddled version of the trailer. I really need a new computer... *sigh*
