Band of Skulls Tonight!
I am headed to check out the amazing British group Band of Skulls at Detroit Bar in Costa Mesa tonight. If you haven't yet heard of them, check out their MySpace page and their single "I Know What I Am."
Power Tripping
I don't trust our government to efficiently screw in a light bulb, so I certainly don't think it should have anything to do with policing the internet. But that's just what Congress wants to allow the president to do.
The President. One man. With the power to control our access to information and communication. Think it'll never happen?
First and foremost, I want to know exactly what constitutes a "cybersecurity emergency." I can not think of a single doomsday scenario that would justify turning any region of the United States into Burma, even temporarily.
This is bad news.
