Westboro Baptist Church Creates GodHatesOklahoma.com, Hacker Hijacks Site, Seizes Domain and Puts It to Good Use











In light of the tragic events of May 20, 2013, when a massive tornado struck Moore, OK and killed at least 24 people, the Westboro Baptist Church, perpetually high in the standings for 'Worlds Biggest Scumbags,' made the website GodHatesOklahoma.com.

A hacker known only as The Jester wasn't having any of WBC's crap though. He stole the domain name right out of the church's hands, made the above image of Jesus flipping the birdy as the site's welcome screen, and redirects it after 5 seconds to this page.

Well done, Jester. Well. Done.

A federal magistrate judge in New York recently ruled that cell phone location data deserves no protection under the Fourth Amendment and that accordingly, the government can engage in real-time location surveillance without a search warrant. In an opinion straight from the Twilight Zone, magistrate judge Gary Brown ruled two weeks ago that “cell phone users who fail to turn off their cell phones do not exhibit an expectation of privacy.”

Coooool: Chandelier Casts Vine Shadows On The Walls

Coooool: Chandelier Casts Vine Shadows On The Walls: vine-chandelier-1.jpg

This is the Forms In Nature light sculpture. When lit, it makes it look like shadowy vines are climbing the walls of your room. When unlit, everything is dark and the chances of stubbing a toe increases exponentially.

Forms in Nature is a artwork with a light source surrounded by a dense and unruly tree and root system created in minature sculpture. The forest is mirrored around it's horizontal central axis and forms a circle 360 degrees around the light source and thereby leads one onto the notion of a real world versus an underworld.

I want one in my playroom. Also a gingerbread house so we can play Hansel and Gretel. I'll be Hansel, and you can can be-- "Gretel." Okay I was going to say the evil witch but you do look like you could eat your way through a wall.
