The New Freedom
This is my website. I write about privacy and internet and encryption and free culture and digital politics and that sort of thing.

Howard Berman (D-CA) to step down, leave Internet and IP issues behind
I fucking hate this guy. Hopefully he’ll be replaced by somebody young and […]
I noticed something very peculiar last night. I saw a link on Reddit which said “The DHS edited my freakin’ blog!”. I clicked on it and it linked to a post on a blog called Stolen Bikes Ride Faster: The musings and adventures of a secretly insane (but not necessarily mad) scientist.
The original post was […]
The BUFC Blog is up and running, and our first meeting will be this Thursday. Check the blog and the flier for more info!
I’ve got a couple of articles I really want to write about international torrenting and about possible improvements to the Science Commons, but I’m really bogged down by school and Star Trek […]
I’m proud to announce that Free Culture has just received a go-ahead from BU. I’ll be starting a teacher’s rights campaign to give teachers and researchers the right and the methods to grant open access to their lectures and materials. More details once things start rolling..
Anyway, I got a note from the ORG/EFF about the […]
I was reading a Slashdot article about Chinese iPhone knock-offs (I want one) when I noticed a comment about a new type of license called MORALip. It has been created by Adam Dada, an anarcho-capitalist cat freak from Chicago. His blog, Unanimocracy currently serves, not surprisingly, to give Ron Paul a handjob.
The MORALip License is […]
Let’s try something.
Google’s GMail service provides two gigs of space to play with. The GSpace Firefox extension lets you use this space as a type of online storage drive. I’ve created a gmail account so that we can all use it to share files on Google’s bandwidth bill.
To use it:
First, install the GStore into […]
Don’t have time to do a full write-up because I’m about to leave for New York, but that amendment which would force colleges to spy and punish students has been withdrawn and replaced with a far tamer one. From the EFF:
News.com reports that Sen. Harry Reid has withdrawn a dangerous proposal that threatened to make […]
I’m back! The conference was cool, I’m glad I went. Here’s my wrap-up:
Left on Thursday. Pretty long journey, R5 to Philly, New Century Bus to NYC, Fung-Wah to Boston, MBTA to my hotel. The connections were fast and to be honest I was disappointed by the lack of explosions/chickens on the buses.
Conference began early the […]
I’ve been playing with some of Google’s services. I’m really big on passive income (money without having to do any work), and Google’s AdSense program seems like a pretty good way to do that. To try to generate some clicks, I’ve come up with a few custom search engines.
The first is Wiiggle, a search engine […]
Bit of a redesign. Thoughts?
Not sure if anybody remembers these, but I’ve found my old blogs from 2002/3 on the internet archive:
7thCircle.com: Which is unfortunately just the splash page, the blog itself is apparently unarchived. It was just my musings on various things and hosting for pictures I made for b3ta.com. I ran it […]
