As I wrote in http://idefix.net/~koos/newsitem.cgi/1338322040 : it's the old Echelon word list all over again.

DHS Social Media Watch List: Phreaking and 2600
ZDNet just ran a story about the 374 keywords that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) monitors on social media sites. The list apparently was released some three months ago as a result of a lawsuit filed by the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC). It was part of the Analyst's D...
The world changes, our world changes and sometimes we look back and see a lot of accumulated changes. And it's good to see some changes happen in other people's lives too. I enjoy reading your stuff here. But family life, work and other things have their own priorities and 'having to write something!' will not result in good stuff (I think).

Rachael Morrison's "Joybubbles"
The short version? Call this number: 718-362-9578. The long version: Back in May 2010 I got an email from a woman named Rachael Morrison. Rachael said she was an artist who wanted to create an audio art piece having to do with Joybubbles, the blind whistling phone phreak who passed away in the...
Lots of recognizable things in that song. But this probably dates me to the eighties: I kept waiting for the "We didn't start the fire" chorus.

Bell Labs Innovations, Part 1: The Music Video
Ok, so the title of this post is perhaps misleading. Bell Labs didn't invent the music video. :-) But they did invent or discover an astonishing number of other things: negative feedback amplifiers, the transistor, cosmic background radiation, the laser, the UNIX operating system, the list goe...
