For you fellow nerds out there, I'm sure you're aware of the recent outburst on digg.com. Basically, someone had figured out the hex encryption code for HD-DVD and posted it on digg. It was promptly removed because digg was threatened by the MPAA, which was followed by a fanatical flood of postings of the code from angry digg users who were making a point about free speech and censorship. Whether or not they are right, it is definitely interesting what has happened. The code is now plastered absolutely everywhere. Unable to keep up, digg has caved in and said rather than try to remove all the postings, they will try to fight the MPAA or die trying. I think it's a pretty remarkable turn of events, an example of a "digital mob," and more proof that the internet is actually making it increasingly difficult to hide corruption - or anything for that matter. I know it's a small example, but it's awesome to see real people starting to control the global flow of information, with those who used to control it frantically trying to figure out what to do. I'm sure we're headed towards a weird new era of human civilization.

For non-nerds, here's a sketch of a dog and some mushrooms. Actually I guess this is for nerds too.
