interrogation (USATODAY.com) 05/20/2004 07:18 AM
USATODAY.com - An obscure Army captain wrote the interrogation rules. The general in charge never saw them, even though his title appears on the document as the officer who must approve especially harsh techniques. Yet somehow the rules wound up on the wall of the interrogation center at Abu Ghraib prison.

ACLU seeks Sanchez perjury
investigation. 03/31/2005 07:35 PM
ACLU seeks Sanchez perjury investigation. As a followup to yesterday's post, the ACLU has sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Gonzales, requesting an investigation of Gen. Ricardo Sanchez for perjury before Congress. Sanchez is accused of lying about approving guidelines for the use of abusive interrogation techniques at Abu Ghraib prison. Now, many of you might think that Gonzales might refuse this request and be done with it. However, the ACLU has the right to request a writ of mandamus, which would compel Gonzales to initiate an investigation. If Sanchez is investigated, will he be pressured to reveal the identity of those in the Pentagon / Bush administration (Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Feith, Cheney, Cambone?!) who knew about and possibly ordered these policies?

My childhood, seen by Google Maps 04/06/2005 09:00 PM

(My childhood, seen by Google Maps, originally uploaded by mathowie)

Something I never anticipated in a million years was finding out that my good friend Kathryn Yu recognized names and places in this shot, then over IM we realized we attended the exact same elementary school (she, 8 years after me, and it's just off to the right edge of the screenshot). Turns out that she grew up less than a mile away from my house, and though I've known Kathryn for 3 years, it never came up until today. Unbelievable.

On dimly remembered books from
childhood... 11/14/2003 07:31 PM

Did anyone read a book when they were a kid that had two teenagers running through a forest, touching a piece of ball lightning and being transported to Ancient Rome? I remember one bit distinctly - the two boys being surprised when they realise they're in Rome because where they come from it's called "Reme" after the brother Remus rather than Romulus. I'm only asking because I stumbled upon a post on Fiona's site which suggested using Amazon to find the name of dimly-remembered books. Only I can't find it. If no one has any idea, could you someone please pop into Wroxham library and see if it's still in the kids book section after twenty years. Thanks!

Car Shaped DVD Player

Car Shaped DVD Player 03/24/2005 04:51 AM

This Sports Car DVD Player made me guffaw for a couple seconds, then I realized something dreadful: it costs 250 pounds, or "too many" American dollars. Sure, it has a 5" LCD, plays DVDs and MP3 files, and even has a front bumper as a DVD tray. I even recall seeing something along these lines at The Sharper Image or an equally gimmicky establishment, but I don't remember if it actually had a screen or not. Also, this player is "so cool it's almost frozen!" Now I have to buy one.

Hinterland Who's Who: short nature films
from my childhood 06/26/2004 06:15 AM
"Hinterland Who's Who" was a series of 1960s-era short nature films that used to air as interstitial material on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation when I was a kid, maddeningly interrupting the cartoons. There was a very funny sendup of these on an old SCTV episode, but other than that, I haven't seen these since I was a small child. Until today. Now they're all on the Web. Now, the Internet is complete. Link

< img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/images/sanyo_battery.jpg" alt="sanyo_battery.jpg image" width="200" height="138" class="border right"/>Sanyo has announced a new shape of battery called "pin" style. Shaped a sort of like an thinner AAA battery, the "RU665" is a rechargeable lithium ion cell intended to be used in MP3 players, wireless headsets and pretty much anything else in need for a small(er) battery. At half the volume of AAA and a quarter the volume of AA, expect a capacity of 120mAh and voltage of 4.2V from this series set to be introduced summer of this year.

Undecagon-Shaped Abit PC

Undecagon-Shaped Abit PC 04/15/2005 09:59 AM

If you've longed to own a computer case that looks just like a module from the International Space Station, look no further. The 3XS ACON Isotope PC, made by Abit, provides you with a 3.2GHz P4, ATI X700 Pro, and 1GB of RAM. I think it'd be something of a personal struggle against the temptation to roll it back and forth across my desk, eventually rendering it a tangle of wires and PCB, but for $1,500, it's the first undecagon-shaped case I've seen. And so, you see, you get a piece of trivia along with a decent system from Abit.

Ladybug Shaped MP3 Player

Ladybug Shaped MP3 Player 04/08/2005 10:39 AM

Add "ladybug" to that list of bizarre MP3 player shapes. Evergreen Corporation releases 128MB and 256MB models of the player, which are polished to look like a real ladybug. The spots aren't just for show, either — those are the buttons you use to control play, pause and so forth. They're somewhat crappy as far as MP3 players go, with support limited to 256kbps playback and USB 1.1 transfer, but that's not a huge deal given the 256MB limit of space. They will play music for about 5 hours after recharge by USB.
