So, weev has claimed responsibility for #amazonfail. Clever - he managed to cause massive havoc with about ten lines of code and the cooperation of a few webmasters. I've used similar attacks for more innocuous purposes (eg. I created a page that auto-upvotes itself on Reddit when you visit it), so his method is certainly plausible.

Slash makes the Internet cry.

Even Google thinks so.

Arrived in Silicon Valley - finally. This morning was a miserable New England morning - slush, snow, sleet, wintry mix, the works.
