      The Commuter Bike Redesigned and Electrified
      “The Commuter Bike Redesigned and Electrified - http://nyti.ms/hbq5Z0” 
      Penny farthing.
      I have electrified bicycles.  This one is pushing the price point.
      Welded or brazed powder coated carbon steel would be a better choice of material.
      I used a Curry scooter in much this fashion.

    Printing did not kill drawing.  
    Neither did photography.  
    If it is art it will not be killed.
    Craft is always changing.  
    Art is that part that is independent of craft.

      Same-Sex Marriage Is a Mixed Blessing
      “Same-Sex Marriage Is a Mixed Blessing - http://nyti.ms/mc7YCW” 

      "Of course, lots of same-sex couples will want to marry as soon as they are allowed to, and we will congratulate them when they do even if we ourselves choose not to. But we shouldn’t be forced to marry to keep the benefits we now have, to earn and keep the respect of our friends and family, and to be seen as good citizens."
      This makes a good deal of sense. 
      It is not the law she is complaining of but the employers and the contractors that support the employers.
      Columbia does not set the policy of the insurance company that pays its benefits to employees.
      Talk to your benefits manager.
      Cohabitation is my goal.  Other things are negotiable. A durable health care proxy is a feature.

      Ai Weiwei, Dissident Chinese Artist, Is Released

      Throughout history, political and social change only existed in the forms we knew because protest actions, be they violent or peaceful, were carried out with a lack of resources, especially in terms of communications. Individuals could mobilize and share information with others only to a limited extent. Such circumstances posed obstacles to protest actions that people can take and hindered the impact of their efforts.
      Today, we are in a very different world. The Internet and computer technologies liberate individuals and let them act as one. Ideas, plans and actions can be shared with others at lightning speed, and anyone may participate autonomously. New technologies finally enable humans to truly act as individuals. We no longer need to ask where an idea comes from. It gets shared quickly, and other individuals can carry it out within a short period of time. The real revolution is in each individual’s mind.
      Everybody has to learn to become different from how they perceive themselves. The ways of bringing change and facing political and social struggles have become very different from the previous era. The work of individuals and the path to social change will continue to surprise us."

      We no longer need to ask where an idea comes from.    Wrong
       Not knowing will get you killed or maimed.

      Who Should Speak for Activists in China?

      Published: November 23, 2011
      To the Editor:
      In “Why China Won’t Listen” (Op-Ed, Nov. 16), Chen Min advises Westerners not to speak out about the house arrest of the Chinese rights advocate Chen Guangcheng. The “face” of China’s rulers is at stake, he observes, and concludes that Americans should be “a bit more considerate” and understand that Chinese leaders prefer to keep criticisms “behind closed doors.”
      His advice contrasts sharply with what China’s dissidents themselves have been saying for years.
      A decade ago, Liu Xiaobo, China’s imprisoned Nobel Peace laureate, won a prize for promoting democracy from a group in San Francisco. In his acceptance statement, Mr. Liu wrote that “I should emphasize that for people like me ... every little bit of good-hearted encouragement that springs from the human nature of people who live in other places ... causes us to feel gratitude and awe.”
      Here Mr. Liu echoes Wei Jingsheng, Xu Wenli, Liu Qing, Wang Dan, Jiang Qisheng, Ai Weiwei and many other veterans of China’s political prisons.
      Are we to believe that Chen Guangcheng is different?
      Or can we wait for him to speak for himself on what should or should not be kept “behind closed doors”?

      It really comes down to who pays the bill.
      If your employer pays you must follow its rules.  If you pay the bill and use it on your time your employer has limited rights.  Powering down during working hours may well be a good idea.  Leaving it in your car may be a good thing to do too.  I am ignorant of the rules.
      Encryption that the powers can't easily crack makes them very nervous.

      "it was most likely a German shepherd or a Belgian Malinois"
      I have a preference for the Malinois.  The shepherds I have known were delicate dogs.

    An Academic Author’s Unintentional Masterpiece
    “An Academic Author’s Unintentional Masterpiece - Geoff Dyer on Michael Fried, http://nyti.ms/pF0ueo” 
    It took me years to learn that art can't be explained.
    It is very frustrating to academics and other politicians.
