Crib Notes for Cocktail Hour

More quick links to cool things, so they're written somewhere, so I can remember the cool thing I wanted to talk about.

• This is why we can't have nice things on the International Space Station.
• You might have guessed that being an asshole in online games translates to being a dick at work.  But Riot games did a study on their own employees, and has the data to back it up.
• Want to see some great mural work?  There's now an online archive of Clarion Alley art by some really cool fans.
• Speaking of the Mission, Mission Hipster Says is pretty funny until you realize how close to a documentary it is.

Crib Notes for Cocktail Hour

It's been a while.  And I've got a cocktail party to attend on Saturday.  Here's what I'll be keeping in my back pocket so I don't look boring.

• Paranoid about quad-copters taking over the world?  So are the Tokyo police -- so they've deployed a drone-catching drone.  A drone just doesn't know who to trust, these days.
• If you missed it, Apple published a letter explaining why they refuse to weaken privacy protections on an iPhone, no matter who's asking for it.  How often does a corporation actually speak truth to power?
• Next time I renew my California Driver [sic] License, I'll be wearing a colander on my head.  In several legal interactions, Pastafarians have won the right to keep their spaghetti-straining religious head covering in place -- as long as their face is completely visible -- despite rules that require heathens to remove things like baseball hats.
• Well, the authors hand-picked their online-only data sources, and only worked with mean and standard deviation ... but who's going to stop a cocktail party conversation to check your sources?  You can now cite an actual article on average penis size.
