Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Anonymizing data is hard-verging-on-impossible — what do we do about it?<\/a> – Something to remember when someone promises your data will only be used anonymously. That’s fine for that one data set, but combine it with another and …<\/li>\n
  2. Like a Virgin<\/a> – I actually liked the old V Australia decor, though I’m glad they are retaining “Mustang Sally.”<\/li>\n
  3. Debunking the Mythical “Sharia Threat” to Our Judicial System<\/a> – But! But! They’re Scary Others! We have to be afraid of SOMEONE, don’t we?!<\/li>\n
  4. AMERICAblog Elections: Santorum: torture victim John McCain doesn\u2019t understand torture<\/a> – “Ron Paul may be the wackiest candidate in the GOP field. But for pure, blind stupidity nobody beats Santorum.”<\/li>\n
  5. The post-PC era is happening, but not yet at the expense of PCs<\/a> – I’m sure I could find use for a tablet, but a huge amount of my computer activity requires a keyboard — and not a virtual one on a tablet. What I think the “Post-PC Era” means that that a PC is not the only<\/b> choice you have for computing and communication — and, yes, as suggested, people are likely to have multiple devices they use for different circumstances.<\/li>\n
  6. Senate bill would require warrant for e-mail, cloud searches<\/a> – A fine idea, that is very unlikely to get anywhere.<\/li>\n
  7. Gingrich: If Democrats Make An Ad Quoting What I Said, It\u2019s False<\/a> – Newt’s self-destructing before our eyes.<\/li>\n
  8. Camel Thorn Trees<\/a> – Very, very cool.<\/li>\n
  9. Veteran U.S. Diplomat: We Are Becoming the USSR – Battleland – TIME.com<\/a> – Complete with a war in Afghanistan, too.<\/li>\n
  10. Your Body is Obscene if You\u2019re a Woman, or Look Like One<\/a> – “Pejic isn\u2019t being censored because he\u2019s skinny. He\u2019s being censored because he is styled like a woman, and women\u2019s torsos are sexualized to the point that we consider them obscene while men\u2019s are not.” Which is what makes this so sad and so hysterical. Is the fear that someone will be offended by a bare woman’s torso without anyone having the chance to explain it’s actually a man? Or that some guy will get all lustful over it, thinking it’s a woman, then fly into a rage when they realize it’s not? It’s just plain crazy. Granted, I have a vested interest in wanting to see pictures of women’s torsos, but frankly our sexually schizophrenic American society is just plain crazy-making.<\/li>\n
  11. ginandtacos.com \u00bb Blog Archive \u00bb PROHIBITION<\/a> – “The purpose of the War on Drugs is not to keep people safe or healthy. The purpose of the War on Drugs is to put people in prison, and from that perspective it has been a smashing success.”<\/li>\n
  12. Inspirational pro-book poster<\/a> – Man, I’d buy that poster, too.<\/li>\n
  13. Palestine<\/a> – “Or will it turn out that our paeans to non-violence were just cynical tactics in an amoral international power contest staged by militaristic Israeli and American right-wing groups whose elective affinities lead them to shape a common narrative of the alien Arab\/Muslim threat?”<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
