Jazz Kick.

Kicks me right in the memory feels.  Best news photos of the week - The Washington Post:

Barrowman=Hilarious.  Late Night Fun - John Barrowman Messes With Stephen Amell - Bleeding Cool:"...both John Barrowman – Malcolm Merlyn on Arrow and for Stephen Amell – Oliver Queen on Arrow. During their respective panels both actor’s told the story of the first time they worked together. Here, spliced together, is both sides of the story."

If you use Tor or any of a number of other privacy... - Front Toward Enemy: "If you use Tor or any of a number of other privacy services online or even visit their web sites to read about the services, there’s a good chance your IP address has been collected and stored by the NSA, according to top-secret source code for a program the NSA uses to conduct internet surveillance. There’s also a good chance you’ve been tagged for simply reading news articles about these services published by Wired and other sites. This is according to code, obtained and analyzed by journalists and others in Germany, which for the first time reveals the extent of some of the wide-spread tracking the NSA conducts on people using or interested in using privatizing tools and services—a list that includes journalists and their sources, human rights activists, political dissidents living under oppressive countries and many others who have various reasons for needing to shield their identity and their online activity...

Actually, think about this. Your desire for privacy means you are inherently suspect. Think about that.

I remember, when I was writing Smoker, he and I had a conversation where I was trying to figure out how the bad guy could assassinate their target. And that conversation revolved about how to make an IED and how it would be possible to conceal the bomb in the location in question. There were some technical details we discussed that I made a point of not including in the novel. I do my research, but I don’t write manuals; I want plausible, not necessarily possible. And we were talking about it, and we both paused, and laughed, and then he said, “Hello, Mister NSA Analyst. We’re working on a book, don’t mind us.” And we laughed some more. Not that funny, now...

If that’s supposed to make me sleep more soundly, more safely at night, it ain’t working. It’s doing the exact opposite, in fact."
