Pretty much the best explanation of the current Greek/Eurozone financial crisis I’ve been able to find. And with a notable lack of the typical morality play nonsense that goes in to a lot of these discussions.

I’m always a bit jealous that I never think of these interesting geo visualizations first.

We all know how much Jesus loved money.

Reminds me of this guy I used to work with back in Buffalo. He was a reverend at a local church, who always wore this large, ostentatious gold cross. Every time I spoke with him I made sure to mention how much Jesus loved gold. He never seemed to catch on.

I wonder if the Verisign VIP access software is based on RSA tech. If not, the relatively sudden move to using that software internally (as opposed to the RSA secureID) that was used before makes sense. If the VIP access tech is based on the RSA tech then why switch at all?

And since Symantec owns Verisign, I wonder what this information leak means for Symantec.

This is utterly unsurprising, and in fact is what everyone with half a brain said would happen when the PATRIOT act was passed.

Very interesting questions, with no good answers available. And don’t even get me started on the Private Student Loan lenders.

The only parasites involved in this are the content companies and the congress critters involved in this travesty of a proposal.

Not surprising, but scary when you consider just how much information Google has on the average user. Consider something like http://www.google.com/history (seriously, check that link out when logged in to your google account. Prepare to be shocked.)

It’s nice to have these statistics to see exactly how often Google complies with requests of this type. It also helps to put the 4th Amendment and it’s protections into perspective.

I’ve actually been wondering about this recently, since I restarted kendo. I was originally taught to use shibori, and now speaking with sensei, its actually been somewhat discouraged.

I wonder if this would fit on a poster? I’d totally buy it.
