The Revolution Will Not Be Encrypted 22 Aug 2013 | 07:43 pm
This week, Internet law commentary site Groklaw shut down, citing the lack of privacy in a world where the government is (maybe, possibly) reading all your e-mail. On the one hand, you can argue that ...
Summer Streaming 16 Aug 2013 | 04:57 am
It's been a beautiful summer, even by Seattle standards, and Belle and I have gotten at least some good out of it. We've been camping, traveling, and lately we even broke out the grill. Take that, sta...

Magic Missile 27 Jun 2013 | 09:25 pm
I'm not entirely sure why you would make films based on a franchise that you never liked. I'm on record as believing that the first JJ Abrams Star Trek flick was a reasonable popcorn flick but it didn...
Remember the Linkblog! 20 Jun 2013 | 02:36 am
Obviously I've been a little obsessed with RSS the past couple of weeks (get used to it: it'll be everyone else's turn come July 1). Along the way, I've been trimming my subscription list: I've been b...
