Two Quick News Stories
This first story is probably the strangest news story I've ever read about candy in my entire life. Apparently an Iowa who like to try and lure kids to his van is not a problem, in fact, he just wants to give kids free candy. He's either a really strange person, or trying very hard to break down stereotypes.
Click here to read about him.
The other story is about a baker that has been charged with selling treats on the Internet laced with drugs. Now I'm sure this wasn't that hard a connection for police to make. Once you see cookies on sale for 20 dollars each, you can pretty much assume that it's not just cookies.

I just read an interesting article about theft from vending machines and some of the new technologies being designed to deal with it. When I first read the headline "Vending Machines Try Electronic Self-Defense", I had visions of vending machines that would actually fight back.
