CULTURE BUZZ: This pigeon was caught by Colombian prison guards with a tiny suitcase of cell phone parts on its back. You crazy bird! Every day they get smarter. By my calculations, we have about 9.5 months before they conquer the human race and turn their bird eyes towards the robots.

CULTURE BUZZ: Fascinating daily blog by a nameless inmate currently serving a life sentence in the Texas Penitentiary. He updates the blog daily with the help of a friend on the outside. The way it works is he hand writes and mails 5 posts once a week to a friend outside of the jail. His friend then types out a post for each day that week. You can post comments or e-mail the blog and the friend will mail all of them back to the inmate who can then respond to you through the blog.
