Foxtrot on e-voting.
Remember to vote, everyone (in the US). If you don’t, there’s no chance your vote will be counted correctly.
Airport Security Cartoons
My favorite. First runner up. Also good. And this and this.
Post links to your favorites, and I will add them to the post.
EDITED TO ADD (9/13): There are just too many down there to add; scroll through the comments to find the links. But here’s a funny one from “Close to Home.”
Friday Squid Blogging: Four Squid Cartoons
If you know of any other squid cartoons, post the links as comments—or e-mail them to me—and I will add them here.
EDITED TO ADD (9/2): Guy & Rodd, Off the Mark, Her! [Girl v. Pig], a New Yorker cartoon, Doc Rat, Schlock Mercenary, and a German cartoon.
EDITED TO ADD (9/4): Demolition Squid, Sausage Squid from Beaver and Steve,Creative Disease, and very funny one from The New Yorker caption contest. Also, nine cartoons from Dr. Fun; search for “squid.”
EDITED TO ADD (9/13): Penny Arcade.
Behavioral Profiling
I’ve long been a fan of behavioral profiling, as opposed to racial profiling. The U.S. has been testing such a program. While there are legitimate fears that this could end up being racial profiling in disguise, I think this kind of thing is the right idea. (Although I am less impressed with this kind of thing.)
EDITED TO ADD (8/18): Funny cartoon on profiling.
There’s a moral here. Profiling is something we all do, and we do it because—for the most part—it works. But when you’re dealing with an intelligent adversary, as opposed to the cat, you invite that adversary to deliberately try to subvert your profiling system. The effectiveness of any profiling system is directly related to how likely it will be subverted.
Friday Squid Blogging: Dr. Fun's Giant Squid
EDITED TO ADD (8/12): Another Dr. Fun squid cartoon.
EDITED TOADD (8/12): and another.
Superman's Password
About a quarter of the way down on this page, you’ll find a scan of a 1970s Superman comic in which a hacker kid breaks into the Fortress of Solitude’s computer system, using what looks to be a TRS-80 Model III. Superman’s password was “Kal-El”: his Kryptonian name.
