Stuart Hughes' blog is hi-jacked by an irate Romanian hacker. The hacker claims to be worried about some journalists in Iraq, but actually threatens Hughes to make his point.

I hope the hacker is caught and punished for his threat, even as I hope the journalists in Iraq survive their ordeal.

Larry Osterman has a surreal drive, then a surreal moment.
