An article at Left2Right reminded me of the movie Slam which I saw recently. Compared to the defenders discussed in the article, that one seemed competent and honest, if a bit hopeless and mean. Essentially he told the protagonist to plea bargain or else, which is a tactic, not an argument. But the article is right — don’t blame the PDs, but blame the underfunded system that drives people away and encourages grifters.

yawn
In case the old jive filter still amuses you, someone has written Gizoogle. According to its version of my homepage:
This was one of tha first projects I worked on at Berkeley spittin’ that real shit. We present a way of sippin’ a priority queue fo` optical data, where pimpin’ is not feasible.
Actually, I don’t find this sort of thing that funny after about 30 seconds.
a simple pleasure
The sunlight warming the back of your neck while you stand outside the shower waiting for the water heater to engage.
