Terrorist organization logos
Terrorist groups, like any organization, need brand identities. With so many groups claiming credit for terrorist acts, and so many videotapes being put out featuring men in ski masks, it’s hard to keep track of which group committed what violent act. So terrorist organizations have logos. It recently occurred to me that someone had to actually design those logos. But how did they decide who gets to do it? Did the job go to whichever terrorist had a copy of Adobe Illustrator?

Marc Powell is an anarchist, hacker chef who opens his kitchen up to strangers and friends every Thursday to cook up some amazing hacked food creations.

Pushing tourism in a drug stronghold
Sinaloa, the northern Mexican state that spawned the country's most fearsome drug cartel, hopes to lure tourists to rustic cabins in a rugged area infamous for opium fields and violent kingpins.
Generations of farmers have grown opium and marijuana in the hilly and remote Badiraguato region, a stronghold for powerful drug gangs and the birthplace of Mexico's top capo and most-wanted man, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.

Can someone balance on one leg when they are high on the anesthetic ketamine? This was the central question of a research paper written by government researchers in Hong Kong.
To find an answer, a team of social workers and scientists stood outside of two different nightclubs and asked 62 people to perform a series of sobriety tests in the parking lot or a nearby playground.

Help EFF figure out what's in the FBI's secret docs
Last week, I blogged about how the Electronic Frontier Foundation had prised 1,000+ pages' worth of FBI docs loose with a Freedom of Information Act request. These docs document the FBI's abuse of power after the PATRIOT Act. Now, 1,000+ pages is a LOT of material, and EFF needs your help.

Profile of famed LSD chemist Owsley
The San Francisco Chronicle managed to get an interview with the elusive Augustus Owsley Stanley III, a DIY chemist who produced legendary tabs of high quality LSD in the 1960s.
Owlsey's acid was even purer than the LSD made by Sandoz in Switzerland, the company that invented LSD and supplied it to the US Government as a tool of psychological warfare. Owsley's LSD was so pure that you could shake a beaker of it and it would glow -- its crystals were piezoluminescent.
