  >> New challenge: Surveillance <<

 This week we're taking a close look at the

 government's plans to spy on us. They want to

 read your emails, peek in your zips and even

 fiddle with your software's backdoor. Depict your

 thoughts on this and suggest what other

 draconian policies they might be plotting.

: SITES IN BRIEF

 Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

 >> Bhutanese Passport <<

 Click on 'listen to this article' on the top

 right to hear this wonderful, wonderful

 accent.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhutanese_passport

 >> Unusual book title, mean reviews <<

 "Helping the Retarded to Know God - a guide for

 Christian teachers of the mentally handicapped."

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0570063507/b3ta-20

 >> NASA audio <<

 NASA has put its historical audio files up onto the

 SoundCloud. Should be useful for the odd sample.

https://soundcloud.com/nasa

 >> Ship Your Enemies Glitter <<

 Worse than burning dogshit. At least you can

 eventually clear dogshit up.

http://shipyourenemiesglitter.com/

 >> Twitter Choose Your Own Adventure <<

 Just as exciting as it was in 1984. In fact,

 more so, as now you can confusingly RT which

 page you're on.

https://twitter.com/wnd_go

 >> Schoolgirls licking doorknobs <<

 Oh, Japan! Always new ways to objectify young

 women in ways that make us feel old and confused.

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO

 Like TV but the knobs are different

 * Ever wondered what shooting a cannon would

 sound like?

http://youtu.be/rmhrKMJDJd8

 * Dog Goldberg Machine. It's an ad, and an ad

 from a few years back, but it's good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AA56LgpFbSw

* The story of "Wordy Rappinghood". Tina Weymouth

is looking well.

http://youtu.be/hsGFH_Q7KMs

* Father and Son on Trombone and Oven. Whatever

you think this is, it is that.

http://www.b3ta.com/links/1263591/

* Animator modifies NES Power Glove as a tool for

work. Clever.
