How to Use Your Super Power for Good - Peter Bregman

I folded my bike and carried it into the lobby of the office building in midtown Manhattan. The security guard behind the desk looked up at me, grimaced, then looked down again and growled something indecipherable. “Excuse me?” I asked. He sighed loudly and didn’t say anything for a moment. I was already jittery because of a near miss with a taxi on the ride over, and this deflated me even more. I tried to stay calm and upbeat. Finally, after citing the The Bicycle Access to Office Buildings Law, which requires New York City buildings with freight elevators to admit bicycles, he let me in.

The Drones Are Coming

Soon those eyes will be over American skies as well. This coming spring, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) plans to propose rules that will enable civilians to obtain permits to fly drones over the national airspace. Non-military drones can be very useful in a variety of ways – from dusting crops to inspecting dangerous disaster sites – but drones are also powerful surveillance tools. Before unleashing this technology, the FAA must establish basic privacy and transparency rules for domestic use of drones. The FAA should require applications for drone licenses to include a description of how the drone operator intends to handle any information the drone will collect about individuals, and the FAA should make approved drone licenses, along with the licensee’s privacy statement, publicly available.

Of course, law enforcement agencies will not be the only ones using drones. Agreements. Omdraft3-1.jpg (600×800) Occupy Information.

Occupy Xmas

ThinkTanks. Sustainability. Stratfor Hacked, 200GB Of Emails, Credit Cards Stolen, Client List Released, Includes MF Global, Rockefeller Foundation. This Christmas will not be a happy one for George Friedman (who incidentally was the focus of John Mauldin's latest book promotion email blast) and his Stratfor Global Intelligence service, because as of a few hours ago, hacking collective Anonymous disclosed that not only has it hacked the Stratfor website (since confirmed by Friedman himself), but has also obtained the full client list of over 4000 individuals and corporations, including their credit cards (which supposedly have been used to make $1 million in "donations"), as well as over 200 GB of email correspondence.

Chronology of releases from AnonymousIRC starting early this afternoon: If The Night Before Christmas Had Been Written for the Occupy Movement - Brainstorm. Tonight at a marina holiday party, our neighbor and dear friend, Roger Thiel, treated us to his annual gift of a Christmas poem and reading.

If The Night Before Christmas Had Been Written for the Occupy Movement - Brainstorm

Roger has lived in our marina for more than 20 years and has entertained uncountable numbers of live aboards and visitors with song, oratory delights and, of course, his annual holiday poems. The shop of which Roger speaks in this poem is his own, and it makes Santa’s workshop look pretty boring by comparison. In it he runs a professional printing business, writes novels, keeps his Winston Churchill collection, and maintains his antique airplane.
