Why no secure Blogger login?

How come Blogger doesn't have a secure (https) login page?

Update: It does, but there's no visible link to it from the main or sign-in page. To make signing in use https, manually convert the protocol to https in the url of the sign-in page.

"badness" indicator more important than phishing alerts

There's been interest in having browsers display a phishing warning. What would be more useful is if browsers displayed a badness warning, especially before the user followed a link.

"Be careful where you browse". That's popular advice, but how does someone know what the bad parts of the web are? It would be useful if the browser itself gave some clue, e.g. a "bad" link could be in a different color, or the browser prompted the user before displaying/processing the contents of the risky link.

The browser could consult a database of "bad" links, preferably a database that is updated frequently to catch problems like "good" sites being hijacked or newly created "bad" sites.
Browsers could also preprocess the content of the link to gauge it's safety. Of course that means browsers would have to have a mechanism of checking safety that doesn't cause them to do "bad" things.

bi-wite?

bi-rite is a good little market in the gourmet and guerrero area of the Mission.
Have you been there? Have you been to the rest of the Mission?
Doesn't something seem unusual about the customer-facing workers?
The same thing goes for tartine too.

style wars: what happened?

Style Wars is a really cool documentary about early hip hop. The focus is on graffiti artists in New York City in the early 80's. It was re-released on DVD in 2003. However, it seems to have already gone out of print. Plexifilm, which released the DVD, no longer lists it on their web site. Amazon doesn't have any new copies for sale. The Style Wars website takes orders, but payment is via Paypal!

Does anyone know what happened?

Update: Netflix lists it now. There are also new copies available on Amazon. The studio is Music Video Dist. and the release date is August 23, 2005. I wonder if it was re-re-released.

Update: The wayback machine indicates that Plexifilm stopped distributing the DVD sometime between April and June 2004: April and then June, look for "PLEASE NOTE: THE STYLE WARS DVD IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE."

Red vs Blue, Jeopardy's view

Being blue is good because you have positive money and will make it to final jeopardy.
