Worth the Click...
Todays "Worth the Click" is from my friend Joe , who is finishing up film school at California State University Monterey Bay. He sent me this great link to an independent movie he and a few colleagues from school produced.

If you saw Blair Witch Project you'll like this film. Check it out. It's completely worth the download.

If you're interested speaking with Joe or his colleagues you can reach them at madkoala.com. Oh, if you like Joe's film or you have any comments, email him: joe@i3djoe.com.

Babies' Mental Delay Tied to Moms' Vegan Diet
The breast-fed infants of two mothers who did not eat any animal products, including milk and eggs, developed brain abnormalities as a result of a vitamin-B12 deficiency, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) reported Thursday. "l:reuters"

Why was this released by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) not the American Medical Association (AMA)? That's odd. My wife suspects they were investigating deaths cause by high concentrations of pesticides. Good call.

Protecting sex in public toilets?. BBC:  Sex laws shake-up unveiled
The measures also include a six month jail term for a person who "knows or is reckless" about whether they will be seen having sex.

Private homes are exempt from the new law, but having sex in a private garden which can be seen from the street would be a crime.

Sex in public toilets, or "cottaging", will not be a specific offence unless "the cubicle door was open", said Mr Benn.

It was making sense until they got to the "public toilets" part... :~) [jenett.radio]

I have seen some public toilets you would not want to SEE much less remember as a place you copulated. OF COURSE, there are those really cool self cleaning toilets in San Francisco (end of Market outside Embarcadero Center and the Ice Rink). I'd hate to be stuck in that thing when it went into clean mode though.

Sneak previews...
Trust No One. I'm a little late in responding to the "press kit" I was given on this next preview. A pleaser for... [Inside Gretchen's Head]

This is actually a very well made trailer! Damn good job.

Sneaky Toolbar Hijacks Browsers
It's the most evil thing on the Internet, according to some of its victims. But it's not a virus, a scam or a raunchy porn site.

It's a browser toolbar that some swear is doing "drive-by downloads" -- installing itself without users' permission -- then taking over their systems and making it impossible to uninstall.[Wired]

Here's a note: I had this. From an HTML email! It's NOT impossible to unistall, you just have to be smarter than it is. Here's where you go if you get it to get rid or it.
