This looks like a pretty good deal on a spacious, seemingly solid little backup unit. One of these and a little more native capacity (which I keep meaning to pick up) to cover normal wear-and-tear failure, and I think a person could be pretty well set for data reliability.

“Going commando” on the TSA, redux: a kilt-wearer speaks
I still don’t believe this agency should exist. I have nothing against the employees themselves, and I understand the need for jobs. But jobs without a purpose are no good. I do find these articles and approaches interesting, because it will make it just that much harder to find people willing to take these jobs. And eventually, if nobody’s willing to do the job, it’s going to resolve itself (… or they’ll start stealing even more of our money to pay higher wages; wouldn’t put that past a government that determined the TSA should exist in the first place). I’d rather take my chances with terrorists than take my chances losing more freedoms to an already-too-large government.

Looks interesting. It has sometimes felt like there’s a lack of bidirectionality between blogging and social media accounts, and Livefyre looks like it might be one piece in completing the circle. Of course, there are other things that would help with that as well, but finding the time to learn and understand them is sometimes challenging.

The relatively short duration of individual existence
As I returned from taking out my trash this evening and looked upon some of my possessions, it struck me in an unusual way that a “me” 50 years into the future might look upon those same and similar structures in reflection rather than anticipation. It was difficult to comprehend. Is it just me, or does everyone do this?
