Boing Boing points out this cool and eerie silent crash test video. I think the coolest thing is that NASA tunred a 747 (I think that’s a 747) into a remote controlled airplane! I want one!

Terror fears don’t trump Constitution
What great news! Protesters can’t be forced through metal detectors
Fears of a terrorist attack are not sufficient reason for authorities to search people at a protest, a federal appeals court has ruled, saying September 11, 2001, “cannot be the day liberty perished.”“We cannot simply suspend or restrict civil liberties until the War of Terror is over, because the War on Terror is unlikely ever to be truly over,” Judge Gerald Tjoflat wrote for the three-member court. “September 11, 2001, already a day of immeasurable tragedy, cannot be the day liberty perished in this country.”there are steps the government can take to protect people from terrorism, “that doesn’t mean we just dispense with the Bill of Rights as a consequence of 9/11.”Finally some semblance of the America I grew up in! -

This Morning
I went to bed depressed last night. I thought I was going to get some programming done yesterday and had I not opened a single piece of mail I probably would have put in a few hours.To bring myself up this morning I tried a little self-indulgence then immediately felt guilty over it. Reward before effort is like giving the dog a treat then saying “sit.” I still want to lean toward doing selfish things today.
I have about 3 days of work to get done today and today is shorter than normal since I agreed to take Tommy to D&D this evening.

This has merit purely on the fact that they went with Bollywood another splash (I hereby declare splash to be a Spoof Flash movie). If it were any longer than it is I would not have watched the whole thing.

Patriotic
As the election nears, I think it is important to be reminded of our history, the reasons our country was formed, what freedom means and symbolism such as the American Flag.
I Am The Flag by Ruth Apperson Rous is exceptionally written.

From the mouths of babes
Amy upon noticing the Playstation joysticks in my office points and says, “The controllers! Noah’s controller!” Then notes “da cat toy” and requests that it be put “up der” with the cat on the monitor. What fun conversation!
