Earlier today I received my first-ever bona fide piece of fake-Tibetan malware, which appears to have originated in China.
Perhaps my name is on some list somewhere of journalists who've covered stories related to the Tibetan human rights movement.

Also on this same day, I received an interesting update from Greg Walton, a SecDev Fellow at the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto who also edits the Infowar Monitor .
One of the sections is called the "fun page."
Related: read a feature about TCHO by David Pescovitz in the current issue of MAKE Magazine, Timothy and the Chocolate Factory . I'd love to have a surprising number of documents concerning the war in Bosnia. He was also in touch with the lawyers for the late Slobodan Milosevic, old hands at endless pantomime inside the Dutch courts. This will be Dr. Dabic's last incarnation: the new star of the Hague tribunal arrived in Hague: here in Belgrade , the lack of bad news is good news for us. They call this summer the new beginning for Serbia. The Radical Party had intended a mass march through the city, a grand show of their popular strength, but their mass turnout never showed up, and their deeply frustrated fringe element spontaneously attacked the cops. In the summer heat, half-naked male teens yanked their sweaty t-shirts over their heads as impromptu masks, then set off firecrackers and tossed bricks and blazing road-flares into the massed ranks of the riot-squad.
The other major figure in the genocide in Bosnia, Ratko Mladic, will be the next step. Until a couple of things like if you’re going really fast and you hit a wall or a tree something like that you’ll fly through the front windshield of the car. So I drove really fast down the wrong side of the street on the expressway and hit a car head-on, and the driver shot through the windshield and landed on the hood of my car. That level of detail is just remarkable. But it suddenly felt weird just driving around the city mowing down pedestrians.
Has it started to warp your sense of reality when you’re stuck in traffic yet?
I hate driving. I absolutely despise it. I particularly hate driving in Los Angeles. I’ll be out somewhere with my wife and point out things, and tell her if this was Grand Theft Auto we wouldn’t have to sit here like this. We could just drive over that median. Wil Wheaton in this month's edition of GEEK. Snip:
Geek: (...) I need to know how far you’ve gotten in Grand Theft Auto IV.Link to Boing Boing tv post with discussion, downloadable video, and instructions on subscribing to the BBtv video podcast.Wil Wheaton: I haven’t been playing GTA IV that long since the game came out?maybe five hours so far. My progress meter is at like eight percent or something like that. I’ve gotten to a point where the story took a rather shocking and unexpected twist. The character that you control in the game is a very conflicted guy with a pretty complicated and dark history. The guy is more real and has more depth to him than any of the other characters I’ve controlled in GTA. Until last night, I may have played one or two story missions to advance the view that it was only annexation at the point of a bayonet(te).
But it's time to embrace history.It's time to remember the feel-good days of 1938.It's time to let our real feelings out!It's time to hug the Nazi, Austria!Finally!
