CHEERS to Kristin Paget, Chief Hacker at Recursion Ventures, for showing an audience how to cheaply and undetectably clone someone's RFID-enabled credit or debit card. And shame on the credit card companies for (A) putting these "convenient" chips in all these credit cards by default, and (B) threatening to sue MythBusters if they tried the same trick. Incidentally, if Ms. Paget needs a lawyer after this stunt, I'll chip in to her defense fund.
Feh to the Syrian civil war. And yes, it's a full blown civil war now, even if we don't want to acknowledge it as such, as government troops beat back rebels from the suburbs of Damascus. You'd think Assad would have handled this in a relatively civilized Egyptian manner, but instead, he's vying for the 2012 Ceausescu award. Meanwhile, SoS Clinton and Arab leaders are meeting to discuss the problem, and both sides have agreed to talks in Moscow.
JEERS to the Libyan provisional government. Wasn't the revolution supposed to stop this?
CHEERS to the Broadway Bears for raising nearly $2000 for charity over the last three Sundays. Good luck on your next project!
