Dumb criminal o' the year:
Murderer Caught Because He Had the Murder Scene Tattooed on His Chest
In retrospect, it may have been a bad idea for Anthony Garcia to commemorate his first killing by having it inscribed on his chest. When a LA County homicide investigator was later looking through pictures of gang members, he noticed something important:
Each key detail was right there: the Christmas lights that lined the roof of the liquor store where 23-year-old John Juarez was gunned down, the direction his body fell, the bowed street lamp across the way and the street sign — all under the chilling banner of RIVERA KILLS, a reference to the gang Rivera-13.
I'd love to see
Homicide
tackle this case....
wrod.
Tommy, I hope your parents get through it okay...that sounds hard.
That's actually pretty cute. And no irritating t-shirt rolling or bunching. Hmmm.
I am intrigued by the chemise. I wonder how long it is.

Thanks. My sister and her gf are going to meet my parents at the hospital today. The doctors will decide today if my dad needs to go to a nursing home to recover, so I'm waiting to see how that goes....
Yay Perkins!
~ma to tommy's parents, and him, and sister, and gf.
Does anyone have any recommendations for podcasts to listen to at work. I have listened to the entire archive of This American Life and Fresh Air. I think I just want more This American Life.
Radio Lab! I love Radio Lab.
That reminds me - I think I successfully recorded that City Arts and Lectures with Ira Glass and also the broadcast of the Spelling Bee for Cheaters (I haven't listened to them yet, they may be full of dropouts or end after 30 seconds or something, I don't know for sure). If anyone wants an mp3 of either, drop a note to my profile address.

Here are some of my favorites: [link]
The Stoop! [link] ( you can listen online or go get it from iTunes.)
Yes, it is Baltimore-centric, but...
I also like Snap Judgment, which just started airing in my market. [link] (Their main site is snapjudgment.org, but is down at the moment.)
Most of the podcasts I listen to are skeptical/science/tech/parenting or some combination of those. The two I can recommend that are more general-interest are "My History Can Beat Up Your Politics" (most eps take a current American political issue and put it into historical context - I've learned more about US history from this guy than the entirety of my high school education) and "The World's Technology Podcast" which focuses on how people are using technology to solve problems around the world with a special focus on developing nations.
