Video of Young Amy Winehouse Hopelessly Devoted to Something Other Than Crack
Sometimes, lost home video footage of celebrities as children can be worth its weight in digital gold. (Which, strangely, is worth nothing.) If I ever work my way up to a coveted spot as one of the Flavor of Love contestants, for example, I would hate — hate – to see that footage of me in my Kindergarten Hanukkah Musical standing tall and proud as the Shamash (or tall middle candle), belting out the Dreidel song while simultaneously blocking me neighbors face with my flamboyant hand gestures.

30 Years of LucasFilm Christmas Cards
I live down the street from LucasFilm, and I’ve even been in the facilities in The Presidio, but I’m not on the LucasFilm Holiday Card List. For the last 30 years, Lucasfilm has created special holiday greeting cards for its employees and business partners.

Senate set to forgive telcos for spying on Americans with the NSA: TAKE ACTION NOW!
Tim from the Electronic Frontier Foundation sez, "At EFF, we've just sent out an urgent action alert. Monday morning, the Foreign Intelligence Service Bill bill finally goes to the Senate floor, and at noon the Senate will cast their most important votes yet on Telecom Immunity for participation in massive, nationwide illegal NSA wiretapping. We've set up an action alert page for Boing Boing readers to contact their Senators, and would be much obliged if you could share the link."

Nobody paid much attention to the issue until the Estonian DDoS events of earlier this year when government and commercial sites in the small Baltic country were taken offline for days in April amid a row with Russia about relocation of a Soviet-era memorial to fallen soldiers and war graves.
