SAFE Bill Makes Me Feel Vulnerable
I’ve read a lot of bellyaching today about the SAFE Act. Mostly people are worried that free WiFi access will disappear from Starbucks, hotels, bars, bike shops, and airports. But Ars Technica says: the bill doesn’t require any active surveillance of user behavior, and it won’t affect your local coffee shop’s WiFi, despite what you [...]

One of the sites I check out pretty regularly, Daily Blog Tips, has a post writing contest going on right now. The topic is “Tips and Tricks”. Of course, there were several “how to get more traffic” and technical posts listed there, but I liked the ones that were a little “off” the best–tips and [...]
Two More Things I Love About This Country
1. We still produce men as tough as Randy Couture, the UFC Heavyweight Champion Couture, 44, who defeated contender Gabriel Gonzaga by technical knockout in the third round, broke an ulna bone in his left forearm during the third round, said his assistant Valerie Haney. “It happened on [Gonzaga's] high leg kick at Randy’s head,” [...]
Anchor Text Matters!
Sending out the 411 to the other bloggers who read this–yes, the anchor text you use when linking to other bloggers matters, technically.
