I don’t know what else, other than drugs, could cause this guy to run through restaurant stabbing himself and sticking his fingers into light sockets. Needless to say, the guy died.

I’ll Keep That In Mind
Make sure when you send nearly 90-pounds of marijuana to someone that you send it to the right address.
Random IRC Images
Similar to the random images from LiveJournal users comes this archive of random images from IRC channels. It’s scary some of the stuff that gets posted, though I think the LiveJournal stuff is still far more disturbing.
Work 12 Hours Today, Get Paid Squat
This is news I wanted to read on a Monday morning. Many of you will lose your overtime benefits today. So stay a little late — you won’t get a dime for it.
Seen This Letter A Few Times?
I can’t believe there are so many newspapers running this letter (luckily Google searches couldn’t find it on either Bend.com or BendBulletin.com). On the Bush-Cheney 2004 Web site there’s an automated form that allows you create a letter to the editor that you can send to your local paper. The problem is that your letter will look just like the letters printed in a pile of other newspapers. That’s a propaganda machine right there, ladies and gentlemen.
Google Hacks of a Different Sort
You may have heard of the Google Hacks Book (which is on my “To Buy Whenever I Get The Cash” list), but one of the real strengths (and scary things) about Google is its ability to dig up information on passwords, usernames, and vulnerabilities that idiots have left open and online.

More Sick Crimes Hit Central Oregon
Not only do we have a sheriff’s deputy who has been arraigned on 143 sex abuse and drug charges, but now we have another sheriff’s employee who’s been arrested on 11 counts of sex abuse and giving drugs to a minor.
And we have this weirdo who was arrested facing seven counts of public indecency after he was trying to entice some youngsters into his car — and he was doing it about two blocks from my house.
Lovely.
Speaking of jerks, I was harassed on my nightly walk last night by a group of punk high school kids. If it were just one of them, I wouldn’t have been worried, but there were about five or six of them talking bad at me. I just ignored them, but it still spooked me as I seriously doubt my ability to defend myself right now because of my back surgery (back in the day, I would’ve been fine). Anybody have a Taser I can borrow?
LiveJournal Users Hate Life
21% of all the people on the ‘net who hate their live use LiveJournal.
So Dane, we better not egg ‘em, as they have nothing to live for and will probably make a suicidal attempt to kill us.
Dick Van Dyke, CG Animator
I have a newfound respect (though I’ve always liked the guy) for Dick Van Dyke (yes, that Dick Van Dyke). He’s actually really heavily into computer animation, and has been for quite a while. Link via several places.
