Weekend Weirdness: I wasn't planning on posting anything today, but in my cursory news scan, a couple things just were too interesting not to mention. The Leopold Museum in Vienna kicked off a new exhibit by offering free entry to people wearing... nothing. A Virginia guy bought a town in Canada. He's not planning on making it a nudist colony, but I think his ideas for it are really cool. Italian PM Berlusconi thinks the euro is not cool... in fact he thinks the euro "screwed everybody." (Maybe he was displeased with how much his fat soap went for?)
And in e-voting news, California has rejected Diebold's electronic voting machines. As I have mentioned before, I think electronic voting without a paper trail is a terrible idea, and Diebold has been especially resistant (and exploitative) about making paper printouts available. (I also finally posted my TM speech on this issue, which I mentioned in a previous post.)
