I found it interesting to run across what was going to be where the Bellevue DQ used to be, along with an earlier version of the current plan. I had also not heard about/noticed/remembered the danger on the site.

I wanted a much better murder-related title for this, but too bad for you. The LA Dog Trainer has a Homicide Blog! With associated Homicide Map! That’s interactive! Never has horrible murder been so web 2.0.

Update: the Blog Said MURDER FROM A WHILE AGO! They also have a vintage crime blog, though the author seems to meander into non-crime topics, too.

It would be a shame to see text message voting banned here. On the other hand, everything I’ve seen indicates that US contest administrators are avoiding the abuses that caused it to be axed over there (and maybe the axing is Channel 4-specific).
