PRISM

Via @SAI

This AP article by Stephen Braun, Anne Flaherty, Jack Gillum, and Matt Apuzo, seems to be the most reasonable and seemingly responsible report on PRISM that I’ve seen yet. It seems to be pretty much in line with my own limited understanding of what the relevant government agencies actually do, based on public information.

Leaping to a New Blogging Platform

Okay, it’s apparently once again time to take the leap. I’m moving Monolith149 Daily from Blogger, where it’s lived since May of 2006. Its new home is a combination of writing posts in Markdown on a local machine, generating a static blog using Octopress, and publishing the blog on Github Pages.
