US official threatens employees with magic

No real Wiccan would threaten people with cursing. It would rebound on her threefold. She's just a fake, like a holier than thou Christian who preaches hate and not love. Sadly, no religion is exempt from having bad people join it and misrepresent its message.

Comcast actively blocks P2P traffic

This is reprehensible. There are legitimate, licensed, even commercial uses for the bit torrent program. For instance, in addition to the officially licensed downloads sold at Bit Torrent.com, the anti-spyware program Spybot Search & Destroy offers downloads through bit torrent. Also, a number of online games have used BT to distribute their installers, particularly for beta tests but sometimes permanently (where their business model does not charge for the game software, only for the online account). This isn't just like having an operator bust in and say "sorry, have to go" to two people conversing; this is like it doing that in the middle of a call to HSN where someone's placing an order.

Very nice! For some reason, it seems like lately a lot of very good new content has cropped up. First Morgan Webb put together her daily capsule report of tech & associated news (from gaming to tech-related financial). Next I found out that Adrian Pasdar of Heroes posts to Youtube under the name 'buckshotwon' featuring funny little films he makes of his castmates and behind the scenes of their TV show. Now you guys have the random cool stuff corner staked out. It's especially nice to see and hear the people behind boingboing because it makes it a little more personal. (I'm looking for highlights, personally). Of course, with Xeni's broadcast experience her delivery is amazing.

If I had a camera I think I'd be starting that "cooking for beginners" show I always wanted to host! ;)
