Though it has been broken—cryptographically speaking—by the sounds of things.

Emma Carmichael goes undercover to see what Insane Clown Posse fans get up to.

Holy shit these are amazing.

Harper is the worst.

Imagine the Jersey Shore only with hot Russian women.

It doesn’t look like the article this is a response to is online. Sucks. It sounds like they are trying to spin ‘white flight’ as a good thing. (Though, my sense is that people leaving, or being pushed out of, the city are probably minorities.)

An op-ed by Warren E. Buffett in the New York Times.

KISSmetrics’ tracking tool is capable of session tracking even where the user has Private Browsing Mode enabled, and is blocking Flash, HTML5 and HTTP cookies.

A slightly technical discussion on un-deletable browser ‘cookies’ used for tracking your ass on the Internet.

1 second of high frequency computer based trading stretched out to a minute of time.

I’d never realized how smart the Vaio logo was.

Like Clinton in the U.S., the federal Liberals left office with a budgetary surplus. The Conservatives created the largest deficit in Canadian history and, unbelievably, ran an election campaign on financial management savvy! Of course, they created the deficit in part by implementing tax cuts and engaging in discretionary spending designed to produce the deficit which, we are told, now needs to be eliminated by cutting programs.

The same approach has now come to Toronto and is being mimicked by Rob Ford. He, too, was left a surplus by his predecessor. Nevertheless, the agenda marches on. First, create the crisis by reducing the revenue base through tax cuts and then take the budget knife to Toronto’s city-wide programs. Instead of articulating a vision for building a great city, it is simply a slash and burn approach to a manufactured crisis.

Russel Brand on the UK riots.

The new book from Craig Thompson, of Blankets fame.

He’s been saying a lot of crazy shit recently.

A change of pace for Micheal Lewis. His latest article for Vanity Fair is about Germany, whose economy is probably propping up most of Europe.

Oh how the mighty have fallen. I guess this is what happens when you sit on your hands and watch the tech sector pass you by.

Now I feel old.

The headline is far more tepid than the actual story. It’s 2011: what the hell, Mississippi?

A London police officer shot a guy in London. No matter what the circumstances, that almost never goes over well. (And this time, the circumstances seem more than a bit suspect.) This is a great op-ed on what came next.
