Marylaine Block's Neat New Stuff
For several years, I have subscribed to
Marylaine Block's weekly email of "neat new stuff" she finds on the internet. I recommend that you do the same. Here are some of the neat new things for this week:
Freedom-to-tinker is a blog written by Ed Felton, a professor of Computer Science and Public Affairs at Princeton University, and J. Alex Halderman, a graduate student in Computer Science at Princeton University. According to Ed and Alex, the focus of the weblog "is on issues related to legal regulation of technology, and especially on legal attempts to restrict the right of technologists and citizens to tinker with technological devices. But we reserve the right to write about anything that strikes our fancy."
A May 2006 CRS Report for Congress on Government Access to Phone Calling Activity and Related Records: Legal Authorities.
Information about the "Bad Boss Contest" on the Working America website. The winner gets a free vacation. All you bad bosses out there can relax because entries including names of companies or personal names or identifiers will not be posted. There are weekly semifinalist competitions and voting for the grand prize winner ends in August, so you have plenty of time to enter and vote. The website includes almost a thousand stories already, so there are plenty for you to enjoy!
