Just contributed $695 to the Ubuntu Edge Campaign: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge/x/917214. It's an interesting gamble: I think there is about an 80% chance that funding will fail, but if it succeeds, and if they pull it off, I will have a potentially delicious gadget to deal with...

Update 5 years later: Yes, it failed, and my $695 went down the toilet.

Daniel Ellsberg's "Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnamand the Pentagon Papers"
Just finished reading Daniel Ellsberg's "Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers" -- a really great book, and a sad reminder that the institutional bureaucracy of the US government is capable of enormous evil.
There is no meaningful comparison between 2,000,000 dead in Indochina and the NSA PRISM program, but the mechanisms that kept us in Vietnam for 25 years are alive and well, and just as much a concern.
