Shaking to follow

We're moving today. I'm writing this from the laptop while the others are still asleep. After I finish a short piece for Linux Journal (prepping for the upcoming Geek Cruise), I'll put on the coffee, roll up my sleeves and start packing and hauling more boxes.

Most of my office is now in a pile of container boxes in the garage at the new house. I won't move stuff into the new office space until the wiring is done and new shelving is up. We won't have a Net connection until late Saturday, so until then I'll have to either come back to the old place or find a local wi-fi hot spot. No phones until next Tuesday.

Haven't warwalked (or 'driven, or 'chalked) Santa Barbara yet, so I'm not sure where to go for that. The Starbucks outlets here won't have it for another three weeks, they say. If any of ya'll know some APs, pass the info along.

House bets on censorship

Bryan Field-Elliot has alertly spotted the censorship provision in a piece of legislation passed Tuesday in the House of Representatives. Here's the Reuters source.

Here are stories from EuropeMedia and Gambling Magazine. Internet.com, however, quotes a staffer who calls the bill "silly" and says it doesn't stand a chance in the Senate.

That wasn't just fast. It's a new record.

I already have a dependency on Google News, without which I wouldn't have found the last three links in the item above.
