One series of commercials are worth noting. I believe they were run by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America. They linked drug use to terrorism. The premise is that terrorist organizations are funded by selling drugs which make their way to the US. So when you buy illegal drugs, you may be funding terrorism. They were careful to say "may" not "are." [Scripting News]

Open Licenses for Fun and Profit. A host of issues regarding open systems must be resolved if open source is to work in the
real world. Although licensing is a darn good first step, we can't put everything under
the GPL (General Public License). [osOpinion]

02/04/02 07:43 CET. Pepsi needs a new ad agency. Talking dolphins. Beer-stealing birds. This year's Superbowl ads were OK, but most of them sucked. The mlife (AT&T Wireless) people really dropped the ball. They've been hyping it up for about a week, and then their Web site was down for most of the Superbowl. At least I couldn't get to it when I tried earlier. [CamWorld]

Ack! Chris told the Lockergnome world about my blog before I had intended! Oh well, I need to get more into doing this anyway. Don't expect anything like his, though. He's just got WAY too much energy. No way I could keep up with him.

American troops raid own side in spectacular f*ck-up. At first it seemed like a spectacular achievement. American spec-ops forces successfully raided a high school full of Al-Queda leadership, killing 21 and taking 27 prisoner. The only casualty was a mild ankle wound. The attack took place so quickly that many of the terrorists were before they could awake or, uh, untie themselves (?). Well, that was the story, anyway. Turns out the world's largest armed forces, with twenty-three times the military budget of Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Libya, Sudan, Syria, and Cuba combined, managed to plan and execute an attack on their own allies. Here's the story from TIME and Knight Ridder. [kuro5hin.org]

SimiCon, a Norwegian company focused on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is developing a circular craft that uses both rotors and a low profile jet in order to provide the high performance of a fixed wing craft along with the VTOL capabilites of a helicopter. Looks pretty cool. [MetaFilter]
