Low Activity

Well, I hope some of you guys are following by RSS because I’m updating less often and I think it’s a good trend to keep up. If you’re not—in other words, if you’re check my blog and the others you’re currently reading by going to the individual pages every once in a while to see if it’s been updated—then I really recommend the Bloglines RSS reader service.

DMZ Robocops?

There are so many ways this could go wrong. Courtesy of Gyre.org : The South Korean Defense Security Command has announced that they intend to set up 250 armed, robotic guards to defend the 252-kilometer-long DMZ between North and South Korea.
