As you reflect on the gun bill vote yesterday, it’s worth watching Larry Lessig’s TED talk “We the People”.

Explosion at Boston Marathon. Know only that Jim Bernard is fine.

On related news, the Boston Marathon iPhone app is really, really bad. Unfortunate. Such potential.

Digging some ideas of putting Panic Status Board panels together with data from WikiApiary. Hmmm…

Catalog Unsubscribing

I make it a routine task to request removal from any and all catalogs that show up in our mailbox. Sometimes there is a bit of detective work to get removed from them, they don’t go out of their way to make it obvious. This made me wonder why email is required to have an unsubscribe method clearly displayed while catalogs and regular mail don’t have any requirement.

There should be a requirement for unsubscribe information to be presented plainly and near the mailing label. In fact, how about a URL printed for each mailing address that unsubscribes that address? Heck, I might even use a QR code for that!

There is something so beautiful about running water and snow.

I can’t wait to fire up both Big Green Eggs soon. I need to get some grilling going!
