Notes from Howard's Sabbatical from Working. The name comes from a 1998 lunch conversation. Someone asked if everything man knew was on the web. I answered "no" and off the top of my head said "Fidel Castro's favorite color". About every 6-12 months I've searched for this. It doesn't show up in the first 50 Google results (this blog is finally first for that search), AskJeeves says it's: red.

Homeland Security vs Tron
This is a clever piece of fiction that had me fooled for more than a minute.. Homeland Security has classified the 1982 Movie Tron as Sensitive. DHS has "ordered Walt Disney Studios to turn over all copies of the film in its posession. Retailers are also receiving notices to remove all copies of the film from stock shelves and turn them over to Federal officials." It's based on the true fact that portions of the movie were filmed at "Shiva, a nuclear fusion research facility created at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory". Nicely done.
