Yes, another nasty wave of DDoS attacks - and ironically? On the heels of articles regarding the Cyber War on Russian President Putin, critiquing his regime: http://cima.ned.org/russia-blogger-takes-powerful-putin.

Frustrating for us, but my heart goes out to the blogger. And watching The Wire, all the more so. Heck, it is to a degree a reflection of my own frustration regarding work-related issues. Working as a public servant is not easy.

Just finished watching episode 11 of Season 4, THE WIRE, the second to last episode of the Season. The Wire adopted the British television method of doing no more than 10-13 episodes per season, which made the seasons more compact, tightly written, with a character focused arc. There's a hardly a weak episode in the bunch. Unlike TV series like Buffy and Farscape - which ended up with at least five each year - mainly because they had to spit out 22 episodes per year.

This season as stated previously has been touted by critics as amongst the best in television history.

realistic and more show than tell. There are two great scenes:

I think I've memorized the theme music now. ;-) Yet still suck at remembering the lyrics. I can't remember dialogue or lyrics exact to save my life.
