Is the Department of Homeland Security censoring a citizen’s personal blog?; HR.1955

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 MORALip License is […]

To use it:
First, install the GStore into […]

Harry Reid’s Bullshit Legislation Withdrawn

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I’m about to leave for New York, but that amendment which would force colleges to spy and punish students has been withdrawn and replaced with a far tamer one.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:

Report from IS2K7

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 […]
