Tonight on their news cast I saw them use a technique that caught me offguard. They were doing a story on the most arrested criminal in the country. The odd thing was that instead of simply showing his series of mugshots, they started each somewhat out of focus mugshot at a normal frame and then zoomed in. The effect was that this black guy was coming after you. I was taken aback. I've never seen them do this to a white guy (even the most disgusting ones). I'm not black but the implied message is something only an apologist could miss.

![zen habits]( "Zen Habits")
A geek who has a family, and maybe a life. Papa taught me the binary number system and how to read when I was four years old. For fun as a kid I used to read papa's assembly language 5" code greenbar printouts. All his efforts paid off as I followed in his footsteps.
