>> New challenge: Surveillance <<
This week we're taking a close look at the
government's plans to spy on us. They want to
read your emails, peek in your zips and even
fiddle with your software's backdoor. Depict your
thoughts on this and suggest what other
draconian policies they might be plotting.

: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates
>> Bhutanese Passport <<
Click on 'listen to this article' on the top
right to hear this wonderful, wonderful
accent.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhutanese_passport
>> Unusual book title, mean reviews <<
"Helping the Retarded to Know God - a guide for
Christian teachers of the mentally handicapped."
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0570063507/...
>> NASA audio <<
NASA has put its historical audio files up onto the
SoundCloud. Should be useful for the odd sample.
https://soundcloud.com/nasa
>> Ship Your Enemies Glitter <<
Worse than burning dogshit. At least you can
eventually clear dogshit up.
http://shipyourenemiesglitter.com/
>> Twitter Choose Your Own Adventure <<
Just as exciting as it was in 1984. In fact,
more so, as now you can confusingly RT which
page you're on.
https://twitter.com/wnd_go
>> Schoolgirls licking doorknobs <<
Oh, Japan! Always new ways to objectify young
women in ways that make us feel old and confused.

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Like TV but the knobs are different
* Ever wondered what shooting a cannon would
sound like?
http://youtu.be/rmhrKMJDJd8
* Dog Goldberg Machine. It's an ad, and an ad
from a few years back, but it's good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch
* The story of "Wordy Rappinghood". Tina Weymouth
is looking well.
http://youtu.be/hsGFH_Q7KMs
* Father and Son on Trombone and Oven. Whatever
you think this is, it is that.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/1263591/
* Animator modifies NES Power Glove as a tool for
work. Clever.

Voyeurs. Before masturbating, sit on your hand
AND your knob, so it feels like you're watching
someone wank someone else off.
