Best iPod inscription ever: It’s time for hoboes to take over the US government.

Dave Bullock‘s snaps from Black Hat hacker con, which ends today: Richard Clarke, Dan Kaminsky, Phil “zphone” Zimmerman.

Booze-themed lipgloss/chapstick products seemingly marketed at tweens and kids.

Earthlink wants the City of San Francisco to guarantee baseline revenue before it will light up muni wireless project. LOL.

San Francisco orders medical weed dispensaries to sell fatter bags.

Hey, speaking of stoners! Pro-pot lobbyists are tops on congressional softball team, ahead of teams for DNC, RNC, Sen. McCain, DoJ.

The inscription on apelad’s ipod is from John Hodgman’s book, on page 123, where he shows the hobo-sign for the coming hobo government take-over. That same hobo sign is hidden in each of the lolcats comics created by apelad. Look for an H in sunrays.
