Where’s Habeas?
April 22nd, 2007
A good cause as well as a good campaign (in terms of the technology and ideas): FindHabeas.com from the ACLU. You can add Habeas Corpus as a friend on Myspace, read blog entries (a colour-coded mix of actual updates and fictional reports from the chase to find him), and more. We even have some AIM/MSN icons - a nice way to spread a campaign.
Travel trivia

1. Spotted at the University train station in Birmingham, this poster from Central Trains:
Yes, it is a list of the names, (outline) addresses and fined amounts of fare-dodgers. Yikes.
2. BBC Radio 1 has been playing this track, Thou Shalt Always Kill (myspace | video). I can’t get R1 via the Net at the moment, and have no cable, so I only get to listen when I’m within physical range of the FM transmitters. Anyway, it’s a great song (like the late-90s Sunscreen song except without the psychobabble, the self-righteousness and the nonsense). Go listen.
3. Eeugh. The nice picture of Trinity’s Old Library, and the reference to the wonderful Iveagh Gardens, are perhaps the only redeeming features of this cringe-inducing New York Times article on how to spend 36 hours in Dublin. Oh blogging community, we can surely do better than this - anyone want to start work on an alternative?
