bullshit detector set on stun
I read this about a ukrainian who claims he hasn't slept for 20 years and immediately thought of Evan Tanner, the hero of a bunch of pulp mysteries by Lawrence Block (who's one of the best mystery writers of the past 30 years, I've been reading his Tanner, Matthew Scudder and Bernie Roddenberry novels for years). Then BoingBoing picked up on the Tanner angle. But...I still think it's bullshit.
Troy Hurtubise, the Canadian behind the Grizzly proof suit (which is turning into body armor) and fireproof paste has invested a light that can see through walls, and detect stealthed military equipment. I think it does it the old fashioned way, by burning holes through the walls--but I could be wrong. Read about the side effects and tell me if you don't think he's playing with too many microwaves for his own good...more BS.
and finally, Ars Technica reports that the Amiga is alive and well! Yeah right, and I'm living large on Lake Shore Drive...
