• Los Angeles Times: Arizona sheriff ups the ante against his foes
  I don't understand why Phoenix Sheriff Joe Arpaio isn't in prison. He has absolutely no interest in the rule of law, flagrantly abuses the legal system, and is corrupt on the level of the leaders of Chicago or New York in the early 1900s. It's baffling.

• Diovo: Get cached images from your visitors
  You run a website. Through a combination of oversight and error, you lose every image on your website. O noes—now what? This fellow has the solution: Return a 304 for each image request, triggering past visitors' browsers to load the image from cache, and then using a bit of JavaScript to grab each image's data and send it back to the server, which saves it. Very clever!
