Clever Boots

For those who relish such things, here's Nightwatch, a free open-source intelligence digest, put together by one John McCreary, for AFCEA International (Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association). I'd stumbled over Nightwatch about a week ago by accident, then thought of a relatively minor hack — inputting the URL manually with the desired date — which gave access, but I didn't find the much more convenient link above until Friday night. It's not something AFCEA really publicizes. For a $35 membership fee you can get the digest delivered straight to your in-box; I'm not so sure that's worth it as opposed to clicking a link whenever you want but I'm half inclined to become a member just to support the effort. Anyhow, reading the Nightwatch product I must say, I like the way that McCreary thinks. This is a highly valuable news/analysis resource.
