It's way past my bedtime (it takes a lot of energy to be a contrary curmudgeon and I need my sleep), but I'm sitting here killing time waiting for an instant message or a phone call. Our infrastructure people are making a change that affects one of the applications that I work on and I have to be here to perform a quick test to make sure everything still works when they're done. Of course they can only make these changes late on a Saturday night. Oh well, I guess that's what they pay me for, so I can't complain too much.
Anyhoo, while killing time I went to visit Spleenville and was informed of The Liberty Dogs, which is dedicated to watching the Department of Homeland Security (the very name of which has an almost Orwellian or perhaps Nazi overtone--like how they used to refer to Germany as the Fatherland). I'm glad they're doing this, because this new department definitely bears watching.
Maybe they'd be interested in the images that I created earlier. Of course, I'm still learning to work with the GIMP, so maybe others could do better. I just grabbed the image off the DARPA website and added the slash-circle and text over it (which isn't as straight-forward as it sounds).
