See Something Say Something

On the Metro buses of King County, there are warning posters which urge you to "See something? Say something!" This one has a picture of someone who looks like someone I know.


What I can't tell is: is the expression on his face supposed to reflect how vigilant the passengers should be in seeking out suspicious people or behavior? Or are we supposed to call 9-1-1 when we see this guy on the bus? He looks like he is up to something, and it ain't good.

Some LOL-ness from my online voicemail tool. Someone tell these guys to use s/(\d{3})(\d{3})(\d{4})/($1) $2-$3/ to match a phone number pattern instead of /(.{3})(.{3})(.{4})/. For a text manipulation geek -- and nobody else -- this is (HYS) TER-ICAL!

Frosty The Cylon Spy

This USB Snowbot appeared on my desk. Is it spying on me? Is there a microphone or camera hidden inside it?

Who's watching me? This is not helping my paranoid panic attacks.

Sweet Supari

This was at a local Indian grocery store. My wife tells me supari is something people chew in South Asia. Do they have pictures of wanted fugitives on all Indian snack boxes? My new expression of surprise: Sweet Supari!
UPDATE: Some more info and in-depth analysis of this issue here. Thanks to Owais Mughal for that article.
