MAID IN SINGAPORE

I’m back in Hong Kong.

And in case you thought I was kidding about the cosplay restaurant in Chijmes ... I bring evidence.



Sadly it was closed, as they only open after 3pm, which is when I had to ship out for the airport. The menu looks fairly typical for trendy eateries, but I hear it’s all right, if a little pricey.

As it happens, I’m going back to Singapore in a few weeks, so I could eat there for yr entertainment if you like.

Still, if it’s cute Asian women dressed in maid costumes you want, I’m sure you can find pics of that on the Interwub somewhere.

And yes, I owe you words + pics from Hainan. I'll get to that. Soon.

Maid in the shade,

IT’S NOT WHAT YOU DO BUT HOW YOU DO IT

ITEM [via Schneier]: Lawmakers in Louisiana approve a bill that would make crimes committed using virtual maps even more heinous than crimed committed without them.

Rep. Henry Burns, R-Haughton, who handled Adley's bill on the House floor, said that if the map is used in an act of terrorism, the legislation requires a judge to impose an additional minimum sentence of at least 10 years onto the terrorist act.

If the map is used in the commission of a crime like burglary, Burns said, the bill calls for the addition of at least one year in jail to be added to the burglary sentence.

In other words, if you use Google Street View to plan a terrorist attack or rob a house, yr even more evil and deserving of jail time than if you use an ordinary map (or no map at all) to commit the exact same crime.

Which is not only unlikely to deter either crime, but also makes no f***ing sense. But then politicians are not in the problem-solving business. They are in the look-busy-between-elections business. And business is good.

Googling with intent,
