Michael David Crawford CFN: 205307 Clark County Jail PO Box 1147 Vancouver, WA 98666-1147 law@softwareproblem.net (###) ###-#### Mobile After My Release: PO Box 6888 Portland, OR 97228 January 18, 2012 Your Honor, Before you proceed with this letter please read the following quite short essay on my company's website: "Every Engineer's Solemn Duty" http://www.dulcineatech.com/ethics/whistle-blower.html. That page is not yet linked from the rest of my website so you'll need to enter the complete URL. Because an aerospace engineer by the name of Roger Boisjoly failed to fulfill his solemn duty by bringing to NASA Mission Control's attention that Cape Canaveral's temperature had fallen well below the rated specification of the O-Rings that sealed the gaps between the sections of the Challenger's solid rocket boosters, seven incredibly brave and completely innocent astronauts were killed in the most horrifyingly gruesome way - they are thought to have been still fully conscious when they struck the ocean - and America lost one-fifth of her shuttle fleet at a cost to the taxpayer of several billion dollars.

What the Clark County, WA courts should know about K5.

The Clark County, Washington Superior Court has been made award of this website, http://www.kuro5hin.org, in the State v. Michael David Crawford case. Since the FAQ is woefully outdated, I thought I would take it upon myself to introduce any visitors from the court(s) of Clark County to the website. Below are some facts you should know.

Jetset Psychopath Pleads Guilty

From the New York Times: Joran van der Sloot, the Dutchman who became notorious as the prime suspect in the disappearance of an 18-year-old Alabama woman in Aruba in 2005, pleaded guilty in a Lima courtroom on Wednesday to the 2010 murder of a Peruvian woman he met at a casino. The case of the American woman, Natalee Holloway, who vanished during a senior class trip, remains unresolved despite being the subject of several books and television programs, as well as many lurid tabloid headlines over the years. The Peruvian woman, Stephany Flores, 21, was strangled in a Lima hotel room five years to the day after Ms. Holloway's disappearance. "I am truly sorry for this act," Mr. van der Sloot told the judges on Wednesday, according to The Associated Press. He bowed his head as his lawyer argued that he had killed Ms. Flores in a state of "extreme psychological trauma" brought on because he was "persecuted" during the Holloway investigation. Prosecutors have asked for a 30-year sentence. There's a partial transcript of Van Der Sloot's confession here. Basically he caught her reading an email on his PC, elbowed her in the nose and strangled her to death. It appears he was psychotically paranoid, and that could be related to the torrent of accusations that he murdered Natalee Holloway. Or, it could just as easily be evidence that he is pathologically violent when it comes to young women.

Fuck the Fat Acceptance Movement

Ms. Drive recently wrote a diary entry on the Fat Acceptance Movement, which is the movement that promotes obesity as not only normal, but healthy. To quote Ms. Drive, "There is no reliable evidence at all that carrying the equivalent of a grown man (or more) in pure fat on your body might put your heart under strain or be bad for you." Sorry Holly, but that's bullshit. Heart disease is the number one killer in America, even worse than lung cancer, and what is the number one cause of heart disease? Obesity. That there is a movement that promotes obesity as an acceptable lifestyle to our nation's children is no less disgusting than the tobacco companies' attempts to advertise cigarettes to children. When I responded to those candy cigarettes they sold in ice cream trucks with "Fuck the tobacco companies!", I made many enemies, but I was vindicated when scientists proved that smoking is unhealthy. I expect to suffer the same outrage but also enjoy the same vindication by my next statement: Fuck the Fat Acceptance Movement!

Is crawl-66-249-71-82.googlebot.com Trying to Root Your PHP Board? (Abridged)

Hey guys, I thought that elite hackers were using Google's servers to run a botnet. Get This: they figured out how to hack into Google's servers but they couldn't figure out how to spoof googlebot's user agent string! Corey Haim pointed out that the URLs they were hitting were from the Domainit.com landing page, which Google had cached. He also pointed out that I'm a dipshit. My bad!

I support SOPA

I support SOPA. To admit this online is the most unpopular action one could take on the Internet as GoDaddy.com recently learned; it is equivalent to admitting you're a Jew in Nazi Germany. The average netizen sees the legislation as the devil, but I look past the FUD and see the many benefits it offers.

The Open Proxy Party's Electoral Corruption Killer

Introduction The Electoral Corruption Killer (TECK) is a publicly verifiable proxy voting system designed to stop the on-going betrayals of the public by Congress such as occurred with the 1998 expansion of H-1b visas when Congress overwhelmingly opposed the will of 82% of the public, at the behest of hundreds of millions of dollars of campaign contributions from industry lobbies. Under TECK, constituents contact their local office and, with call-back or in-person authentication, vote for bills and/or proxy their votes for bills before congress or state legislatures. Their representative is elected on the Open Proxy Party's political platform which has one plank: Their representative will vote the way the constituents say via their open proxies. TECK is the seed technology for what is to become the US third-party that succeeds in dramatically decentralizing, reducing and changing politics for the better:
