I don’t want to alarm you, but Memorial Day is this coming Monday. I know. It feels as if we skipped most of March, and all of April. But here we are. I hope you’re able to enjoy the coming holiday with family and friends in some manner.

As always, here's a bunch of links I hope you find useful. Enjoy!

Parents

  • Nice view at Goats Rock.  We have a couple like that up here in Duluth; if you ever get up this way, look me up.  I'll take you on some nice hikes or car drives.  Weather permitting, a boat ride in the Duluth Harbor, the lower St. Louis River, and Lake Superior.

    But back to the topics at hand.  Being able to search anyone's history of web activity is the tip of the iceberg that will sink our privacy.  If you've ever forwarded a non-PC link or image, ever shared anything someone else might be offended by, ever done anything you'd rather your parents or kids or spouse or employer didn't see, this can't continue.

    Talk to your representatives and senators and put an end to this if you value your privacy.  Because it's less private than ever because of this legislation.
