End of the Line. Clover, environment editor of London's Daily Telegraph, shows that fishing with modern technology has put us just a hairsbreadth away from destroying entire ocean ecosystems. New England's fisheries have collapsed, the fish stocks of West Africa's continental shelf are overexploited, few cod are left in Newfoundland's Grand Banks.
Song of the week
I remember listening to songs about trains and feeling the rush of wonder at the possibility that the world was infinite and accessible all at the same time. And then it was songs about highways and born to be wild and little red corvette and the road went on forever in my mind- Guy Forsyth, Long long time.

One good thing about the financial crisis
As you may know, the Icelandic economy collapsed a couple of months ago, and was recently followed by the Icelandic government.

Blind teenaged phone-hacker arrested
Matthew Weigman, better known as L'il Hacker, may be put away for up to thirteen years. His crimes include fooling Swat teams into bursting into rivals homes. Also causing cops to detain the father of a girl who refused to have phone sex with him. And eavesdropping on Sprint customer support calls to steal credit card numbers.
Apparently, there's a whole underground subculture of "phreakers", "swatters" and "party lines". Here's the latest news report, and here's a more detailed story on him and his scene. Fascinating stuff. Anyone else see a movie deal in the offing?
