BB patron pal Gareth Branwyn points us to a "nice animated video for an equally nifty acoustic version of Radiohead's anthem of geekly alienation: Creep. Decent psycho-geographic mapping of the late '90s tech boom/bust too." Gareth is right--the piece is quite beautiful and dark. Lin k

Creepy Dutch dolls 01/09/2004 09:56 PM
These hand-made, life-size dollies from Holland are compellingly creepy in a hydrocephalic, Keane-kids, Midwich Cuckoos way. The sculptor is really prolific, and the photos of the dolls are all in natural settings -- ratty sofas and beaches and such -- giving the impression that the idea is to get one of these things and set it down somewhere where it can glare at you all day.

Creepy Crawlers TV commercial

Creepy Crawlers TV commercial 03/31/2005 12:42 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Spike at Bedazzled has a Creepy Crawlers TV commercial. I had one of the orginal Creepy Crawlers kits when I was a kid. I think it might have been the best toy I ever owned. Nearly forty years later, I can clearly remember the wonderful smell of Plastigoop.

They still make Creepy Crawlers, but the "Thingmaker" cooker is now a crappy plastic box with a light bulb heating element and a safety door that won't let you see your creepy crawler cook. Also, the Plastigoop smells completely different -- quite unpleasant. I feel sorry for kids these days.

Creepy bed doubles a safe room

Creepy bed doubles a safe room 08/09/2004 03:18 PM
Do you fear the outside world so much that you wish you could crawl back into your mommy's womb. If yes, then the Quantum Sleeper is for you. This bed folds up into a fire-resistant coffin-like box to keep bad people and bad things away.

The bullet proof polycarbonate barrier is designed to stop bullet penetration, blows from impact, forced entry and provide a sealed temporary safe room and environment from burglars, terrorist or harmful gasses and also provide protection from the destructive forces of tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes and floods. The unit can also be fitted with defensive devices customized to the requests of the purchasers such as tear gas spray, robotic arms, or projectile weaponry. It is designed to enable the person(s) inside the unit to see out and prevent those outside from seeing in.

It also comes with a stereo system, so you can listen to music while a demented axe murderer attempts to chop through the polycarbonate barrier. Link (Thanks, John!)

"Police charity" telescammers' creepy
implied threats 09/23/2004 04:05 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Jason Powell sez: I've had a rash of telemarketer calls in the last few days for "Police" or "Sheriff's" charity organizations. In the past, I've always just said "take me off your list" and hung up--problem solved. However, this latest call troubled me on new levels. I'm not sure I'd call it intimidation, but some of the comments did have a hint of something just slightly less than that. For example, the caller made several references to my home address..."how's it going out there on Elm Avenue today?" I guess the intention is to play on the fear that if I don't donate, I can expect trouble (“we know where you live”). The only thing that troubled me about that is the idea that they're using this tactic on others who would fall for it.

Suspicion of these callers led me to Google for answers, and I wasn't too surprised by what I found. While some of these calls are outright scams, the other, more "legitimate" callers do little to nothing for the groups they claim to represent--in most cases, the telemarketing company working on behalf of a police charity give as little as 15% of the "take" to the charity.

Below are some links I found of interest. I also ran accross the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement site’s page that warns specifically about fraudulent charitable organizations: "They also call claiming to represent police or firefighter organizations. They typically ask victims for donations to help police officers buy equipment or to assist families of officers disabled or killed in the line of duty." Link

Additional links:
The Attorney General's site concerning charity telemarketing (Includes a list of what the caller must/can do according to law).

The FTC site concerning charities (Includes information on how to check up on an organization before you donate).

Hearts and Mines

Latest Kevin Sites bl0g-post from Iraq:
Hearts and Mines 11/05/2003 12:08 PM
New photos and first-person accounts from northern Iraq, from MSNBC combat corrrespondent Kevin Sites:

"Well sir, it's been a rough deployment. This -- then the stuff at home -- my wife's probably cheated on me 15 times," he shakes his head and takes a long drag from the stub of his cigarette. Many of the men we see tonight are doing a version of the same thing, smoking -- shaking their heads.

"I looked around town today," one lieutenant told me, "I was hoping to find someone doing something bad, somebody I could hurt -- but there wasn't one. Just people that needed my help."

It's just that kind of mission whiplash that has confused and demoralized so many troops in Iraq. Soldiers are ordered to go on a night patrols or raids--where danger can lurk at every corner or behind every door -- and life and death decisions have to be made within the hair-fraction of time it takes to pull the trigger on M4 assault weapon -- then the next day, they're told to monitor the selection of a new local mayor or to rebuild a school.
