Listen, dudes: the history of consumer tech is branching, not replacing.

Another TSA Horror Story
If you touch my junk, I’ll have you arrested.
This is getting out of hand. Would this be allowed anywhere else? There are better ways to reduce threats.
Be sure to check the follow up posts, and check out Gruber’s TSA postings on Daring Fireball (where I found this story).
And then go sign the petition at Fly With Dignity.
Einstein Explains the Network Economy
A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labours of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.

Three Weeks with Kindle (a.k.a. Instapaper Reader)
I’ve owned the Kindle for about three weeks now. It’s still primarily an Instapaper reader for me. Mainly because I’m hesitant to buy a digital version of a book that I can’t share with others, especially when I can get a used, hard copy for cheaper than the Kindle edition in most cases. Also, I can’t use it at my library.
So, while I really like the device, I’m frustrated by my lack of options for sharing and purchasing books.
I knew all of this before I made my purchase, and I’m still using the heck out of it. But, as I mentioned, it’s primarily for web articles, oddly enough.
Rumor has it Amazon will allow sharing, but only for 14 days (not bad, but not long enough) soon. I wish Amazon was more open about their plans for Kindle and the community aspect (and potential) of the device.
Stephen also has some good questions from the view of a librarian.
