US Air Force Shoots Down Blogs
From ars technica:
The United States Air Force has stirred up controversy with a new Internet filtering policy that aims to prevent Air Force personnel from reading blogs while on the job. The ban has been implemented by the Air Force Network Operations Center (AFNOC), which houses the Air Force Cyber Command. The block is said to extend to virtually every web site that contains the word "blog" in the address, but doesn't impede access to sites that are deemed by AFNOC to be "reputable media outlet[s]".
Sucks for them.

Obama vs. ... Obama?
Ahhh.....Free trade.
From US News:
As Barack Obama would happily concede, words are powerful. Words matter. So let's briefly look at the words of Obama on trade. Here is Obama from his book The Audacity of Hope, sounding all Tom Friedman:
We can try to slow globalization, but we can't stop it. The U.S. economy is now so integrated with the rest of the world, and digital commerce so widespread, that it's hard to imagine, much less enforce, an effective regime of protectionism. A tariff on imported steel may give temporary relief to U.S. steel producers, but it will make every U.S. manufacturer who uses steel in its products less competitive on the world market.... U.S. Border Patrol agents can't interdict the services of a call center in India, or stop an electrical engineer in Prague from sending his work via email to a company in Dubuque. When it comes to trade, there are few borders left.

On a side note I happen to be a free-market capitalist (oink oink bitches).
How to Seduce a Geek
The fastest way to a Geek's bedroom is through the brain.
Ask him for a reading recommendation -- Geeks love to be consulted about intellectual matters.
If you've got specialized knowledge of a particular subject, be sure to bring it up. Geeks tend to be attracted to experts -- the more obscure your subject, the better.
If a Geek mentions their latest hobby, be sure to ask for a crash course. Nothing will get a Geek in the mood like showing off their know-how.
Thanks hon.
