This belongs on the street, not in a studio. I’d love to see a hidden video of people’s reaction to music from trash. Just make sure you chain it up so a garbage man doesn’t haul it away!

According to WikiLeaks, this is the letter sent by the Coleman campaign to their supports who provided email addresses when they donated. See also, the story on MPR’s NewsCut.
Update: Just thought I’d add a link to the original public discovery/disclosure of this issue over at But You’re a Girl.

– OUCH! Read more here at WikiLeaks. Norm, I know a few folks if you need some help understanding the regulatory requirements you’re supposed to have followed in storing credit card data. Gimme a call! {more s4xton hotness}
WatchI’ve been a fan of Larry Lessig for quite awhile, dating back to my LUNIX open source hax0r days. He is a strong supporter of open access and explains the issue very clearly. Nice work, Noah.

(Footnote: I know I’ve gone on and on about this before, but it’s such a disappointment that the new stimulus bill doesn’t include assistance for students who jumped through the hoops of higher education and are now rewarded with hundreds of dollars in monthly loan repayments.

– Jon Stewart provides some insight into the quality of our economic indicators.
WatchThe first of three trailers for Star Trek (Zero?), due out 8 May 2009. I’m a little behind the times on this one.
WatchWhy do I keep watching things like this? As I write this, the DOW hovers around 6,500. The last time it was this low was December 1996. I’m betting we bottom out at 4,000 (Jan-Feb 1995 levels).
