  2. Oz has net filtering, UK has cameras, US has TSA, Canada infringes my freedom to not freeze during winter. Where's an English-speaker to go?
  3. A List Apart's survey lists 17 options for job title, and the word 'engineer' does not appear a single time. bizarre
  4. analogous to a Fight Lung Cancer organization whose affiliate started promoting Philip Morris and Marlboro in its news feed
  5. Neil Postman very well-represented on Alan Kay's reading list: http://ur1.ca/hr41 . imo "Amusing Ourselves To Death" definitely a must-read.
  6. playlist gonna be all Death all day today in memory of Chuck Schuldiner
  7. welcoming budokan to the family. joins mycroft, radian, and deliverance. and yes, I have no convention for naming my local systems.
  8. "Shut up. I know things. You will listen to me. [Backup] anyway." http://ur1.ca/hlk4 . So... how'd that work out for you?
  9. "my provider lost my data" <=> "my dog ate my homework"

  13. omg the pair of shoes I bought Just Works out of the box! putting them on was *so* intuitive! thus I must rave about them online!!11one
  14. Heinlein's form letter for fanmail replies: http://ur1.ca/hd2g
  15. privacy-wise, amazon scarier than facebook or google. you can swamp fb+goog with fake data. but giving amazon fake data costs money
  16. the x200 arrives tomorrow. haven't decided whether to go with tried & true archlinux or experiment with freebsd.
  17. headline I'd like to see for sheer humor value: "FusionGarage announces exclusive deal with Last.fm"
  18. new keybinding for: iron --incognito `xclip -o`. vimperator for sites with accounts, iron for the rest. vimp->iron: ;y NN Alt_R-w. love it
  19. project owners should take note: http://ur1.ca/h5li . negative campaigning is generally distasteful.
  20. reading "Learning from Unicorn: the accept() thundering herd non-problem" http://ur1.ca/h52j
