Don Fulci And The Matrix
I always wondered what they meant when they talked about chatter in relation to terrorists. Boing Boing tells us they were at least paying attention to some chatter when they turned their matrix attention to a character in a video game. I can't help but be amused, although I also have to say, as a writer, it might be a tremendous ego trip to find that the villainous character you created was on the FBI's priorities for the day. It gives new meaning to the idea of there being no such thing as bad publicity!
If Fulci is new to you, read more about his exploits at the Headhunter developer's site.

Is There A Window Open Somewhere...?
While I was reading other blogs last week, Jon quietly posted this little item . I wonder if many others out there have gotten such letters from the Selective Service System. And does it mean anything when they don't wait for people to sign up on their own, but instead, begin sending letters of invitation?

58 Counties And One More On The Way
Just when California is trying to recover from inflated government, we hear that plans are in the works for yet another county, which would add another pocket of governmental layering. I certainly can understand the difficulties Santa Barbara County is having though, because we have a somewhat similar situation in both Santa Cruz County and Monterey County. In fact, more than one person has said that the south portion of Santa Cruz County and the north portion of Monterey County would be better off joining hands and becoming a new county. Maybe we'll watch the development of Mission County for awhile, and see if we like the way they handle things.
