[The Tao of Mac - HomePage] Weekend Mood: Only news item of note: Russell Beattie stopped blogging. There's been a downward spiral in the number (and quality) of people writing about the many aspects of mobility and a tremendous increase in "banner click magnets" with rushed posts about gadgetry and new phone models, and I'm chalking this up as a significant data point in that drop.
[Jkobielus.blogspot.com] James Kobielus' Blog: For example, where the issuing authorities and/or relying parties are government agencies with monopoly jurisdiction over some critical identity/credential (e.g., driver’s license, social security number, passport), the designated entity has no choice but to accept that identity regime, regardless of whether it conforms to Cameron’s “laws.” Where the authorities and relying parties are commercial organizations with considerable market share and clout (e.g., credit card companies), one also must largely accept their rules rather than attempt to “buck the system” (for example, by panhandling or living up in the mountains, eschewing money or credit cards altogether). Like it or not, in these real-world instances some major portions of your identity are granted to you by an overpowering authority, who may just as easily take them away from you.
[Grotto11.com] Peeve Farm: Hiker has a post which does a good job of explaining what's so slimy about pro football in a much calmer way than I could do-- to give you a hint, I would talk about double-Y-chromosome prison escapees and drug addicts being paid salaries the size of some countries' GDPs to ram their heads against each other in a gladiatorial arena and break each other's legs for the entertainment of millions of pot-bellied, bald, beer-stained couch primates who will go to bars and discuss pointless statistics with each other and drink till they pass out if their team wins, and go into furious rages and beat their wives and children and crash their cars if it loses. It's about the most quintessentially debasing thing that we as a country do, and it's held up as the Pinnacle of Twentieth-Centry American Culture and the advertisers' paradise, the start of the new sales fiscal year.
