Michael Bloomberg vs. the Cult of American Identity. Will Wilkinson, Will Wilkinson (2010-08-03). Hero of the day: Michael Bloomberg! The simple fact is, this building is private property, and the owners have a right to use the building as a house of worship, and the government has no right whatsoever to deny that right. And if it were tried, the courts would almost... (Linked Friday 2010-08-13.)

Why would you give your music away for free? Michael Forrest, Canonical Design (2010-08-09). Photo (cc) Matt McGee You're an up and coming band. You're gonna get signed soon. You'll get played on the radio. You'll tour the world. You're gonna teach Nigel Godrich and Brian Eno a thing or two in the studio. You're gonna have so...so many groupies scrabbling for pieces of...

How are your users feeling? Example from Rhythmbox. Charline Poirier, Canonical Design (2010-08-11). When conducting and writing up user research findings, I make a point of defining the experience goals alongside participant’s actual real life goals.  This is because, as users interact with a system, they are made to feel a certain way – just as people can, software can bring the best...

Darth Nader. Who Is IOZ? (2010-08-13). But what's dangerously myopic about going ballistic as Gibbs did in his statements is that just 10 years ago we had a little event in which only a tiny portion of the base went with a third party bid from the left --- and the consequences were catastrophic. Democrats, of... (Linked Friday 2010-08-13.)

Yes, this is a litmus test. KN@PPSTER, KN@PPSTER (2010-07-27). People who refer to themselves as "libertarians" spend a lot of time arguing over exactly what they mean by "libertarian."Personally, I try to be fairly "big tent," figuring that people who once self-identify as libertarian tend to get more consistently libertarian after doing so, if they're a) accepted and b)...

Saving Our History Books For The Singularity. rechelon, Human Iterations (2010-07-26). Some noble soul has labored to put the two most important history books on Individualist Anarchism’s first wave in America online — and in very accessible condition.   Anyway, I felt I had to pause in my projects and distractions to let you know.  This is the shit. Eunice Minette Schuster’s... (Linked Tuesday 2010-07-27.)

What does it mean to love your enemies? Ryan, The Peaceable Kingdom (2010-07-26). A question many Christians aren’t really asking. This moving video lays it out very simply. It is not wide-eyed optimism in the sense that it doesn’t portray automatic world peace and love in the face of violence. It means that to truly love your enemies you might have to receive...

A squealing leftie writes. chris dillow, Stumbling and Mumbling (2010-07-23). Tim says something that puzzles me:Human beings really are status seeking beings. The method of ranking it, enforcing it, discovering it, may change, but that there will be a social hierarchy is a given. And that’s the bit that our squealing lefties seem to forget….Simply because we are human beings... (Linked Tuesday 2010-07-27.)

Three from Vienna. Austro-Athenian Empire (2010-07-27). Including an excellent anthology from my teacher Kelly Jolley, also including essays by my other teacher Roderick Long; and a Tractarian musical number. About the latter, all I can say is that he would have been better off trying to whistle it. (Linked Tuesday 2010-07-27.)

Remember Furkan Dogan. Sheldon Richman, Free Association (2010-07-27). Furkan Dogan was the 19-year-old American fatally shot five times by Israeli commandos aboard the Mavi Marmara headed for Gaza -- without a peep from the Obama administration, which has time to get involved with everything else happening in the world. Dogan was a bright young man with a promising... (Linked Tuesday 2010-07-27.)

Wikileaks releases classified Afghanistan war logs: "largest intelligence leak in history" Xeni Jardin, Boing Boing (2010-07-25). An archive of classified U.S. military logs spanning six years, more than 91,000 documents, and 200,000 pages, was today made available by WikiLeaks. The papers show a picture of the war in Afghanistan that is far more grim, and far less hopeful, than previously portrayed. The New York Times, London's... (Linked Tuesday 2010-07-27.)

Guadec Day 2: In pursuit of critical mass. Ivanka Majic, Canonical Design (2010-07-27). Today I was reminded of this quote by Jane Goodall: If everyone could think a little bit about small choices they make every day: What do you eat, does it result in animal cruelty? What do you wear, how was it made, does it damage the environment? When people start... (Linked Tuesday 2010-07-27.)
