Beacon Journal | 10/25/2003 | Weak links in U.S. grid: "Several years ago in Australia, for example, Weiss said an operator who worked for a SCADA company was fired. He then tried and failed to get a similar job with a water company.

Angered, the worker built a homemade radio transmitter, Weiss said. Knowing how SCADA worked, he got into the system and opened a sewage valve, dumping hundreds of gallons of waste onto the grounds of a Hyatt Regency hotel.

``You know when they caught him? The 46th time he did it,'' Weiss said.

In his estimation, SCADA vulnerabilities in this country could lead to ``a cyber version of Pearl Harbor.''"

Artist turns animals into everyday objects

Ananova - A Chilean artist is making a name for herself with an exhibition in which stuffed animals are transformed into household objects. Artworks on display include a chick turned into a lamp, and 'sheep bag' - a lamb carcass fitted with handles. Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point. She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful. 'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"

Josh Nimoy @ ITP - BallDroppings

Josh Nimoy @ ITP - BallDroppings : "BallDroppings is an addicting and noisy play-toy. It can also be seen as an emergence game. My brother Marc takes this software seriously as an audio-visual performance instrument. Balls fall from the top of the screen and bounce off the lines you are drawing with the mouse. The balls make a percussive and melodic sound, whose pitch depends on how fast the ball is moving when it hits the line."
