    I watched Pink Flamingos first. I could never stop listing the things it taught me.

    That's not fair! I watched Homicide first, and it taught me that Baltimore has the best crabs.
    Well, Homicide was mostly shot in Fells Point, which is the same neighborhood as my maybe-house. So... might look familiar.

    Did you watch that show? It's not as about the city as The Wire, but still reflects on it.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    More "News" than "Random" but this is a nice follow-up to my Google Buzz rant. Google is getting slapped with a class-action lawsuit (apologies to Sychophant):

    from abovethelaw.com:

    Google launched its version of a social networking site last week with Buzz. Many people were royally pissed dismayed by the privacy flaws in the initial launch. Google took the list of people that users emailed most frequently and created a public “friend list.”

    As TechCrunch pointed out, “merging something designed for public broadcasting (Buzz) with something inherently private (Gmail) was just looking for trouble.”

    The trouble has arrived. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has filed a privacy complaint with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. And today, Harvard Law 2L Eva Hibnick filed a class action lawsuit in California, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

    From the Chronicle:

    Among other things, critics raised concerns this could — or possibly did — aid stalkers, jeopardize journalist sources, or hint at affairs.

    The legal complaint accuses Google of breaking various electronic communications laws, including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. The plaintiff is seeking injunctions to prevent the company from taking similar actions in the future, and unspecified monetary relief.

    Hibnick is seeking to bring the complaint on behalf of all Gmail users whose accounts were automatically linked to Buzz. The filing noted there were 31.2 million Gmail users in January and that Google “added the Buzz program to most or all of these accounts.”

    That’s a big class action. And a speedy one. Buzz was just launched last Tuesday.

    As pointed out by Nicholas Carlson at Business Insider, the company’s VP, product manager, and engineers immediately “went into code red” to fix the privacy problems and “save Google Buzz.”

    Presumably their lawyers are now heading into code red too.

    Holy crap that is awesome.

    By the way, I pass by the intersection where they found Poe's body every time I drive home from my sister's house. I always say hi.

    I don't want to hear Tiger Woods apologize any more. Just let him resume his playing career!

    Apparently, "The Corner" that "The Corner" is talking about is six blocks away from where my sister lived the first time she moved to Baltimore. (Which was really a scary neighborhood.) So, yeah, I don't think I'm watching that one.

    Even if sales were to drop, I'm sure Tiger Woods would do a hell of a lot better than Ernie Els '11.

    Vijay Singh '11 anyone?

    Having seen and read parts of the speech (from highlights-no I did not bother to watch at 10 am in the morning), I agree with Simmons. Beyond those opinions, the only way I would have truly given a damn about Tiger's speech is if he would have opened it up for questioning. But that was unlikely to happen.

    The part that I don't understand about that is why people care.

    So he cheats on his wife. So what? He's not a politician or a school teacher. He's a golfer. Americans are such prudes.

    Well, People care because Tiger's wife is incredibly beautiful and all the women he hooked up with were unattractive trailer trash or slightly attractive porn stars. Pretty mind boggling.
