Here’s an update on the Dad from the HBO documentary, Small Town Ecstasy. If you remember my earlier post, Small Town Ecstasy focused on a man who starts going to raves and dropping ecstasy with his children. He’s been charged with child endangerment based on the footage in the film. Makes you wonder why people would agree to having their crimes taped. Guess we’ll have to ask R. Kelly.

I stumbled across the Police Log from the Arcata Eye, the self-proclaimed, “America’s most popular obscure small-town newspaper.” If all Police Logs were this lyrical and poetic, I would enjoy being arrested and detained quite a bit, just to see my listing. You want to go to the Police Logs section to see the listings. Enjoy!
Looks like the golf ball diver is getting out of hot water (see article here). Turns out that collecting golf balls with scuba gear only warrants two years of probabtion instead of six months in jail. Justice prevails!
I just read a disturbing article on the ABCNEWS.com Web site. The article discusses a recent ruling in San Francisco’s Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals that has some impact on what small Web sites do in linking to content. It’s definitely something worth watching as legislation starts to hit the Internet. I’m going to do my best to make sure content is freely-available while protecting the copyrights of the owners.
I just read this story on the CNNSI Web site. It seems that a person in England who makes his living diving for golf balls in ponds at golf courses has been arrested and jailed for six months. You can check out the story by clicking here. I’m guessing that the judge (or magistrate) in this case was a member at the club and dropped quite a few into the pond.
