MacHack is unlikely

I love MacHack, probably the unlikeliest conference ever invented. People stay up all night hacking, storytelling, eating, and drinking. Keynotes start at midnight and go for hours and hours. Maids are instructed not to knock on doors lest they awaken people sleeping until noon. This year, MacHack was challenged by Apple's WWDC, but MacHack proved to be unstoppable and it has prevailed!

Soldier Field

In Chicago, Solder Field is being remodeled by adding glass and steel to the original neo-Classical building. Even though the stadium is a historical landmark, its character is being drastically changed by this rebuild. Lots of folks are complaining. From the pictures, it looks like the complainers have a point.

Crime: flying while David Nelson

This story shows what can happen when secret justice gets out of hand. Yes, law enforcement agencies sometimes need tools for concealment and secrecy, but they also must be accountable when innocent people are stepped on. The scariest part are the 1984-esque quotes from the TSA guy.
