I was running late today, so it's an afternoon update. It was kind of a dreary day, and combined with going out for an adult beverage or two with some friends last night, then coming home and staying up sending off some probably ill-advised emails until about 4, for some reason I didn't hit the floor running this morning. But I went downtown to have lunch with another friend, and all the tall buildings were being swallowed by clouds, so I took a couple pictures. And now I'm getting the posting done for the day, only about six hours late.
- This is what Molly Ivins had to say about the appointment of war criminal emeritus Henry Kissinger being appointed by the Bush administration to investigate 9/11.

- Perspective: Tech's answer to Big Brother is to use databases that don't actually store user information, but can verify it. A darned good idea, I think. [boing boing]
- Set aside some time, and go read Guns and Freedom. It's long, but worth it.
If civilization is worth having (and I believe it is) then it has to be defended.

- librarian.net : avoiding the PATRIOT Act since 2001. Some technically legal signs librarians can display to warn patrons that their reading habits may end up in a file in Washington D.C. [boing boing]
- Check out the New Government Emblem. Heh! [endwar]
