“Cellphones Track Your Every Move, and You May Not Even Know - http://nyti.ms/h5XKOU #digitalself #personaldata #privacy”Rooted Nook Gets connectivity without an identity. beat that.To trace you they need to know which you are.

Montreal Bagels, Now South of the Border
“From City Room: Now Mile End's bagels are fresh at least 1 day a wk: http://nyti.ms/bSVzcP”The only way is to make them locally.I can buy some and deep freeze them or even ship them with liquid nitrogen or dry ice.Really, make and bake. Best if you can find an honest baker.Heavy work is required to do it right.

A $30 Cable and an iPad on a Television
“A $30 Cable and an iPad on a Television - ”A very familiar tale.These are "walled garden" problems. Get a real computer. Run at least a double boot, Windows, Linux is my choice.Get fibre optic service if possible or the biggest pipe available. Pay for no other connections unless mobile connectivity is required. If you must be mobile, a rooted colour Nook seems to be the way.

Obama Cites Limits of U.S. Role in Libya
President Obama defended the American-led military assault in Libya, saying it was in the national interest of the United States to stop a potential massacre.I doubt that but it feels good. -
Tools for Thinking
Science offers some help in the everyday as we navigate the currents of this world.A wikipedia search brings up no entry for "emergent systems" but several mentions in the texts. This looks right:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence
A discussion of self organization.Another attempt by Conservatives to co-opt an inherently liberal concept.Social Darwinism. -

A Stealth Downsizing, as Shoppers Pay More for Less Food
In downturns, companies reduce the size of some products, disguising price rises and avoiding comparisons on same-size packages.I notice. Mostly I buy less processed products. Demand is down here. -
