- I added a review of The Epson Perfection 640U to Dave's Consumer Reports. It's a mixed bag. Good hardware (with a few quality control problems), sucky software.
- Toward a Disidentification Movement. When stopped by the police and asked for identification, do you hear the voice of a jack-booted thug thug asking you for your papers? Why not? People aren't meant to be tracked and herded like cattle, no matter how unsafe it may prove, or inconvenient for the cops.
- Was I Dancing - or Yawning - on the Grave of Carlo Giuliani last Friday? My problem is that many who attend protests assume that the state is benign, and they're not going to get assaulted. Giuliani was reportedly an anarchist, so at least intellectually, he didn't hold that assumption. Which makes charging the police wielding a fire-extinguisher either stupid or the act of someone intent on martyrdom.
- A Requiem For A Mighty MoPar. A bit of good reading for the motorhead.
- A Casino Odyssey discusses the impact of casino gambling. It's long, but an interesting enough read that I think it's worth the time.
