Ian on the disease, not the symptoms:

What is worrisome is the increasing arrogant disregard for the 4th amendment, not the specifics of the manifestation of that disregard. Worry about the watchers, not the tools/technology.

One of the things I want is one box to rule them all. A text box that is. One that I can type into and it updates the site, the site’s FB page, twitter page, and all the other spigots I have to get posts where people like to read them. And one place to read the whole internet every day. So, from Bob, I learned of RockMelt. I was digging it then realized it had one fatal flaw: no wordpress interface.

Last night’s dream was one where I had this ray gun. And if I shot someone with the ray gun they would immediately start dancing like the zombies in Michael Jackson’s Thriller. So, I did what any reasonable person would do given such awesome power and responsibility. I drove around The City (My The City) shooting everyone I saw with it. I drove home with everyone in town dancing after me while I wondered if it was permanent or not.

A press release from The Second Amendment Foundation:

A federal court ruling in Maryland, that the Second Amendment right to bear arms extends beyond the home and that citizens may not be required to offer a “good and substantial reason” for obtaining a concealed carry permit, is a huge victory, the Second Amendment Foundation said today.
