Alfred Hitchcock’s Birds — without the birds. OK Here is a guy with way too much time on his hands. He is removing all the birds Alfred Hitchcock’s ”The Birds”. Suddenly replacing all the menacing avian denizens with .. nothing. It makes for an eerie invisible threat. Check out Mr. Hendriks web site. Be sure to watch the video clips. I like clip #2 the best so far.
A California man has been indicted for an inventive scheme that allegedly siphoned $50,000 from online brokerage houses E-trade and Schwab.com in six months — a few pennies at a time.
Michael Largent, 22, of Plumas Lake, California, allegedly exploited a loophole in a common procedure both companies follow when a customer links his brokerage account to a bank account for the first time. To verify that the account number and routing information is correct, the brokerages automatically send small “micro-deposits” of between two cents to one dollar to the account, and ask the customer to verify that they’ve received it.

OK, so I listen to a podcast called “The Tartan Podcast“. It’s a music podcast out of Edinburgh of contemporary Scottish bands. So on my bike ride from Tacoma to the office this morning I was listening to Episode #114. At about 16 mins in there is a track called “Unstoppable” by an artist (whose name I did not catch) doing a Eminem type of Rap song. What makes it unique is the Scottish accent. Check it out here.
