Friday night in Albuquerque.
* Today in tasers: 72-year-old grandmother Tasered for refusing to sign a speeding ticket. New York judge allows Tasering to force compliance with DNA test. The system is working as intended; obviously these are both cases where lethal force would have been necessary in the absence of a Taser. (Via MeFi.)
* The Memory Card covers iconic moments from classic video games. Also via MeFi.
* Remembering Tiananmen.
* 'Graveyard Civiizations': The idea here is that we can explain the Fermi paradox (’Where are they?’) by assuming that exponential growth is not a sustainable development pattern for intelligent civilizations.
* Blue Eyes: The Hardest Logic Puzzle in the World.
* Empire Magazine has your spot-the-reference movie poster. Via Denise.
* Conan v. Super Mario. (Last two via Neil.)
* 40 Fantastic Sand Sculptures. Via my dad.
