It's the end of Week 1 of Canada's trial of the century and so far absolutely nothing has happened. The jurors have been watching a long interrogation of Pickton from way back when they thought he had killed a couple of women but didn't have evidence that said he killed a lot of women.

Seattlest hopes that the mayor is paying a lot of attention at the gun control summit he's attending right now in New York. Greg, you're not on vacation. Nickels and a dozen other mayors are meeting with Bloomberg in NYC to share notes and listen to a few gun control experts. It sounds like Seattle's big contribution will be the idea of a regional database of gun dealers. Databases, as you intrinsically know as a Seattle resident, can solve anything.

The perpetrator of this weekend's tragedy on the Hill is Kyle Huff, 28, of North Seattle, originally Montana, according to Seattle Police. Huff (pictured) had a twin and attended the Art Insitute of Seattle and North Seattle Community College. He delivered pizzas. He was at the "Better Off Undead" party at CHAC until early in the morning when he went to an afterparty at 2112 E. Republican St. He was there for less than an hour before he went out to his pickup truck and picked up a shotgun, a handgun and an ammunition belt. On the way back in to the party he spraypainted "NOW" (?) on the sidewalks outside and then he shot two people on the porch. This is reported everywhere, obviously, because he continued into the house and ended up killing seven, including himself at 7:05am after being confronted by a police officer.

Seattle police got a tip from a security officer at a Capitol Hill fast food restaraunt yesterday that a vehicle in the eatery's parking lot appeared to contain a weapon.

Five-time All-Star and former Sonics great Shawn Kemp and a friend got tagged for keeping things a little too Seattle this morning. He was arrested for marijuana and cocaine posession after a cop smelled the chronic that Seattlest imagines was pouring from their pickup's windows Cheech and Chong style. The officer approached Kemp and his friend while they were standing around next to the truck in a Shoreliine parking lot.

If you are at all interested in digital media, copyright, technology, and your rights online, you are probably following the Metro Goldwyn Mayer, et al., v. Grokster case currently being tried by the Supreme Court. The essential nuts and bolts of this case is whether or not software creators can be held liable if their technology can be used to perpetrate copyright violations. The case is also a discussion of the famed Betamax case that allows people to make copies of media for their fair use.
