Habeas Shmabeas

Lawyers for Guantanmo detainee Abel Hammad are getting creative with their efforts to advocate for their client in the absence of habeas corpus rules. They’ve put together a video about their client, with interviews from people who know the former hospital worker first hand, and they’re asking folks to post links to the video in hopes that publicizing the case will force some sort of trial. Tilting at windmills if you ask me, but I wish them the best:

Tickle-Me Burning Man?

This video of a Tickle-Me Elmo doll on fire is totally disturbing, but it’s also a bit inspiring. Add some servos and actuators to The Man, and run audio of someone laughing through a pitched-down effects box and imagine what a different Burn we’d have…

Lucky Number Seven

Congrats to Space Cowboy DJ Mancub—not only does he need a wheel barrel to haul around his enormous man-stones, but he also placed #7 on Nitevibe’s SF DJ Dreamteam poll.

He’s got a new mix for you to check out, and soon samples of his seed will be available through Ebay, so all you fans can begin incubating a baby Mancub of your own…
