Cincinnati.com: Naked Flying Pig runner arrested
Police say Henderson was told to exit the race and get in a police car but he refused, running around an officer and continuing to run in the race. Eventually, Henderson was instructed to get in a car or he would be Tased. Henderson kept on running and an officer Tased him.
…
Henderson was not a registered participant in the Flying Pig, according to a race roster.
No point in registering if there’s no place to pin on the bib. Being naked and tased has to be one of the ultimate indignities.
If you missed the Royal Wedding, here’s what really happened.

baekdal.com: The Usability of Passwords
My websites got hacked over the weekend and the first thing that I did was to change all my passwords to something stronger. I have no idea if it was the passwords that were compromised, but at least it made me feel better doing something. After my flurry of password changes, I was facing passwords that I had to cut and paste to login like xBEP7xf19!M.
I was talking to my friend Dale and he suggested this article about creating passwords using a combination of three words that you can remember. Using three uncommon words creates a password that is nearly unbreakable. Sounds a lot better than the password I created.

CNN.com: Easter reminder: Kinder Eggs banned in the United States
Kinder Eggs, a popular European chocolate egg that contains a toy inside, is banned from importation into the United States because it contains a “non-nutritive object embedded in it.”
I bought one of these eggs several years ago and I was immediately impressed with how high quality the toy is. Much better than the typical freebies that you get in cereal boxes here. That’s part of the reason why it’s developed a following for adults everywhere else in the world.
I think if the product is clearly labeled, not for under age 3, it should be sold in the United States.
CNN.com: Riled about rail: Why all the anger over high speed trains?

A perusal of online commentaries about passenger rail stories reveals a curious linkage by writers between passenger rail and “European socialism.”
For some reason, the American public doesn’t understand that if passenger rail is socialism, then so is having roads.
