At the Internet Movie Firearms Database for several years its been:

...a website that allows users to find which guns were featured in certain movies, television series, video games, and anime, as well as contribute to the site in a wiki format.

Of course I’m a sucker for the Featured Quotes on the main page:

In the Spotlight: A Way With Words.

2009-07-10T13:47:13Z

Back when I was working part-time looking for a full-time job it would be obvious I had too much time on my hands. One of the benefits of that time was listening to an absurd amount of public radio. It just so happens one of the newer shows I gained an affinity for I can still enjoy due to the miracle of the internet. That show is A Way With Words.

A Way with Words is a lively hour-long public radio show about the English language. Co-hosts Martha Barnette and Grant Barrett take calls from listeners about linguistic disputes, grammatical pet peeves, the origins of words and phrases, and curious regional expressions. Martha and Grant also do battle with quiz guys from the National Puzzlers’ League.

What makes this show a bit magical is that each shows theme is made up as people call in describing different origins of words and phrases. Sometimes you didn’t know you’ve been curious about an expression until someone else mentions it.

Ethnic Clashes in Western China Proving the Rise of Government Controlled Information

2009-07-06T15:26:08Z

Does anyone else see the media blackouts done by governments these days as a step closer to a Ghost in the Shell world?

The Chinese state news agency reported Monday that at least 140 people were killed and more than 800 injured when rioters clashed with the police in a regional capital in western China after days of rising tensions between members of the Uighur ethnic group and Han Chinese.

The casualty toll, if confirmed, would make this the deadliest outbreak of violence in China in many years.

The rioting broke out Sunday afternoon in a large market area of Urumqi, the capital of the vast, restive desert region of Xinjiang, and lasted for several hours before riot police officers and paramilitary or military troops locked down the Uighur quarter of the city, according to witnesses and photographs of the riot.
