We are living in the future, and I like it

Dear hit-and-run assholes,

You are doomed. Because that long-haired freak you just clipped and then zoomed away from? Yeah, he's a net.personality, owns a popular SF nightclub, has his own Wikipedia page, and your sorry ass (license plate and all) are now plastered ALL OVER the digiverse.

Gleefully,
--A rider who has been clipped once too often

Christ. Now I have to spend a good chunk of today hating people again. *sigh*

I did love this bit from one of the BoingBoing comments, though:

Don't think of it as "vigilantism" -- think of it as "open-source, peer-to-peer, D.I.Y., crowd-sourced retribution."

Frakking brilliant.

Hah! Yes, perfect use of schadenfreude. I passed the Cory post to q_e, who will appreciate it, too.

By local standards, jwz ain't nothing like a long-haired freak. Although we buying netik drinks all night Monday over it, because he was (justifiably) really, really rattled.

Ah I was guessing

I haven't seen him in years, and don't know him personally. I did a quick Google image search and the most recent-dated photo showed him with a punk-ish cut with some long locks. But yeah, local standards...
