Wake up, or loose the Internet
As many know the control of information is a powerful tool and letting ISPs and other businesses have that is exactly what John McCain has proposed.
"...there have been many examples of ISPs interfering with network traffic. They backed down when they were caught, but their frameworks for blocking certain traffic are ready for action at the drop of a hat."

Now consider though that Internet Smut and Spam and Pirating might be easier to eliminate as appropriate with some controls, this is not a clear cut issue. But as suggested too much control could build a perfect storm. Before making a decision you should research what controls are being granted in McCain's propsoal and which are proposed for the FCC to have. This is not a ten second sound bite issue.

The Nook (E-Book Reader released)
Barnes and Noble's E-Reader finally arrives... I'm a bit disappointed that the MS-Office compatibility that Plastic Logic has been working on didn't make this release, but they did add color to this reader.

Back on Track and a cheap HD video recorder to boot...
My son has finally just about finished his Varsity Marching Band. With 5 hours per day of practice (before school, during school, and after) these last couple months we could all use the rest. His team did great placing in the top ten at the finals in the Texas State Band Competition.
This is the new flip video I wish I would of had though... Two hours of HD quality with HDMI and USB connecttors, YouTube, FaceBook, and other video conversion software all included for a retail of less than $230? I have only seen this slide show and there may be better ones out there, but it looks like it is time to go HD Digital finally.
