Rolltronics

Check these guys out. They have 200Hz flexible printed display technology. I can't speak as to contrast or all the other videophile stuff, but it looks promising. And they are all into sustainability and social responsibilty too.

Wired News: Saving the Artistic Orphans

Let's keep an eye on this one, shall we? I like Brewster, although he is a little bit too quick to pull down and remove content.

Password generator

I use the SecurePassword Generator (no idea why he needs a space before Generator but not Password) extension for Firefox (woot! 1.0PR) but Mr. Cybot (see link to right) pointed this little java script out to me: Password generator -- it's purty darn cool. You have a master password, hash it together with the url that wants a password and it generates a nice little thing that is easy for you to remember and stops grumpy service providers from storing your secret in plain text.

BlogRolling - The best link manager for your weblog and more!

I need to use BlogRolling. It just really irritates me that they, like every other web service out there, doesn't provide https log in. I _really_ don't feel like sending my username and password over sniffable networks y'know? That way madness and identity theft lies.

Whitby student suspended for jaywalking

So I am reading Reason's Brickbats section and I come across this entry which is about a story in an Ontario newspaper wherein a high school student who was given a 1 day suspension for jaywalking on the way home from school. It includes this quote:

Her mother says school officials told her the school day doesn't end until the student is back in the house. She asked if the school would be liable if her daughter had been hit by a car or mugged or raped after she left school. "What I was told was, 'Let's not get carried away,'" said Jackie Simo.
Brickbats kinda reminds me of Ananova's Quirkies.
