It's the only CD I ever owned where I could hear the engineers turning the mikes down in the middle, because it had just gotten Way Too Loud.

You've released some (all?) of your music under the CC-BY-NC license. What are some of the coolest things you've seen done by other people with your songs?

Without the spoiler, I would venture to guess that despite being given all the clues, around 80% of the audience would fall to one of the many misdirections and identify the wrong actor as the killer.
Heck, when I did it, my daughter thought it was me until the ultimate reveal.

Submission + - Bank Officers Emailing Your Info In The Clear..
Austin writes: "I recently received a email from a loan officer at a major national bank regarding the final documents to my condo closing. The only problem is I am not buying a condo at all, the loan officer made a mistake in the email address domain. I replied and informed her of the mistake. The next day I received thirteen more documents, all unencrypted, non-password protected. The docs pertained to income statements, closing worksheets containing all identifying information (ssn, dob), and, this is good, complete routing instructions for the payment. If banks are going to send this information to external entities like your broker or title lawyer shouldn't they have to protect it in some manner?"
