American Legion on the ACLU American Legion Magazine - February 2005 Speaking of the ACLU, there is an interesting article in the American Legion Magazine describing just how much money the ACLU is collecting in its litigation. The magazine states "The public general does not know the ACLU is profiting in such cases by millions of dollars in taxpayer-paid 'attorney fee awards' authorized under the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S. Code Sec. 1988." The article (linked above) notes that the ACLU received more than 1.5 million in attorney fees in four cases alone. Posted by WEBnME @ 1/28/2005 09:33:00 PM

ACLU Scare Tactics http://www.aclu.org/pizza/images/screen.swf The ACLU is using a scare tactics flash presentation to oppose the Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange. The ACLU argues that this initiative would create a vast database that could be augmented by commercial databases such that many details of private lives could be catalogued. The flash presentation leads to a generalized set of concerns with vague references to news stories, but falls short of presenting any useful information on exactly what information is being used and by whom. Notably the call to action page neglects to explain just how a pizza place (depicted in the scare-tactics presentation) would get access to law enforcement information. This presentation might have made sense, if there was a call to action to limit how commercial data on your purchases is used by businesses, but that is not what the ACLU is doing. Instead it looks like a bait and switch presentation to me. Posted by WEBnME @ 1/25/2005 12:01:00 AM

Toolbar to Help Foil Phishing http://toolbar.netcraft.com If you are worried about the bona fides of the websites you visit, you'll want to visit the above website and install its toolbar for Internet Explorer. The Netcraft toolbar shows the age of a website (most phishing websites are new), the site's rank in terms of visits, the country where it is hosted, and the name of the hosting company. Netcraft represents that the toolbar will trap suspicious URLs, force the display of browser navigational controls in all windows, and will clearly let you know the site's hosting location.

Cardstacking Reaches New Heights http://www.cardstacker.com/gallery.html The photos on this website of card stacking masterpieces are simply amazing. No doubt this guy has a lot of free time on his hands and steady hands at that. He has built skyscrapers and even a stadium with playing cards. For a little diversion from the daily hum-drum, this is an excellent website. Posted by WEBnME @ 1/14/2005 11:39:00 AM

Websites that Repel Customers SIRIUS Satellite Radio One would think that the main job of a website is to attract and lure in customers. If that is true, then the above website has failed because it has taught me in a few short minutes that if I want enjoyable satellite radio, I don't want to buy Sirius Radio. The site developer has gone overboard with Flash making the site more difficult to use. Sirius plays cute with hide-the-ball navigation. Try it yourself. See whether you can figure out where to login from just looking at the page and then try to use the navigation to see whether they have classical music without clicking - just from looking at the navigation. Hint - you have to want to listen to their brand of entertainment to find a login link. Try clicking on a music link and see whether you can find music from the 80s or 70s? Sorry that wasn't important to the site developer. From what I had heard, Sirius was supposed to offer commercial free radio so that you could just enjoy listening to your favorite tunes. What the site tells you is that you'll get nauseated with Howard Stern, strung out on Eminem's uncensored stuff, shot full of testosterone with sports (sorry ladies, this is something for brainless guys) and bored with a sophomoric demolition radio program. Somehow that does not equate to relaxing or enjoyable to me. The emphasis seems to be on uncensored bad language. Just listen to us and we'll serve up some real crap seems to be the message. Sorry I can't get serious about a radio service that dolls out excrement as a cheap substitute for the real stuff. I'll buy CDs or listen to a station that my wife can enjoy too. I guess I should thank the developers of the site - they saved me from spending money on something I can live without. Posted by WEBnME @ 1/08/2005 01:45:00 PM

Tsunami Aid Groups - Donate CNN.com - Aid Groups CNN published a list of aid groups accepting donations for victims of the earthquakes and tsunamis that devestated parts of South Asia and East Africa today. Consider a donation to one of these groups. Be aware at the same time that scammers are phishing for your dollars. SC Magazine reports that over 400 phony phishing e-mails have been identified that solicite your donation for tsunami victims. The illicitly acquired funds are deposited into bank accounts in Cyprus and Malta according to SC Magazine - Scammers prey on tsunami disaster fundraising efforts.
