So, I'm just a very below average citizen. I love technology. I live near the coolest Great Lake- and I find things on the internet that make me wonder... The biggest thing I wonder about is what the "Vision Thing" is. I want to know how the meta and micro worlds collide. And, yes, I have found another thing to wonder about:

A home science experiment that probed billions of Internet devices reveals that thousands of industrial and business systems offer remote access to anyone.

You probably haven’t heard of HD Moore, but up to a few weeks ago every Internet device in the world, perhaps including some in your own home, was contacted roughly three times a day by a stack of computers that sit overheating his spare room…

Reading the paper of record this afternoon, and Krugman was interesting (something about fake money tanking)- but this one was really intriguing...

Now, If I didn't know any better, this sounds just a bit undemocratic... right at the steps of justice, doncha know? Here's my take on it: It worked for homeless people to be WiFi hotspots at SXSW last year, so maybe the Supremes really are trying to stimulate the economy from the grass roots in a similar vein. What do I know? One person, one vote... represent yourself... don't pay someone to do something I should be doing myself... work for a better democracy...

Is this the sound that whimper makes?

Dear President Obama:
An open letter to the main guy

Needs Testing.

It’s an interesting combination of words. Immediately one thinks of experiments- like democracy, and how when some things evolve, and others don’t catch up, there needs to be some testing- and then some tweaking, or, if the problem is too entrenched, some reformation. If it’s way far behind there needs to be a revolution, the wheel needs to keep on turning to move along this experiment we call democracy. It’s of course more complicated than one wheel spinning. We need gyros, we need many wheels, and cogs, gears, switches, levers, people maintaining the whole works- you get the picture.
