"Now that it's easier than ever to pick yourself, the question is, "why haven't you?"
I always feel that Seth is talking about #selfpublishing as that's how I am picking myself - how do you pick yourself?

Academic publishers are pushing their own open access platform. Too bad it isn't actually open access.

“When I was brought up my dad taught me, for example, [that when] other countries got prisoners in a war, they tortured them. But we, Americans, didn’t torture them. We gave them good food, clothing and everything. And I was so proud of my country” Wozniak says.
“And now I find out it’s just the opposite. And all these things we talk about in the Constitution, that made us so good as a people, they all dissolved with the Patriot Act.
“When I was bought up, I was taught that communist Russia were the ones that were going to kill us, and bomb our country. Communist Russia was so bad because they followed their people, they snooped on them, they arrested them, they put them in secret prisons, they disappeared them. These kinds of things were a part of Russia.
“And nowadays, we’re getting more and more like that.”

"What governments need first and foremost is the infrastructure to deploy content — limiting users is secondary."
Um...why must it be governments? That would not be an open platform.

What's the most #kid-friendly #Linux distro?
Is it #Edubuntu?
I'm thinking of installing Linux and a bunch of free #educational software and games on the ole #Asus laptop for Sophia.

Road technology we could have possibly seen years ago, if only the people calling themselves "government" hadn't forcefully taken on the mantle of road creation.

"Why Are There No Libertarian Countries?" | The Freeman
[Excerpt quoting +Jeffrey Tucker ]
"Government doesn’t create anything. It just takes stuff, overrides our preferences, and threatens us if we fail to comply. It has the same relationship to human liberty that a tick has to a dog. Just because ticks exist doesn’t mean that dogs aren’t real or are some untried experiment. Similarly, just because theft and murder exist doesn’t mean that we should not rather have a world in which they did not."

I uninstalled the Orbvious Interest extension for Chrome, which is a third-party app for Pocket (formerly ReadItLater), for sneaking "Similar Products" pop up adware by "Superfish" into the latest version. Alas, it was a good extension, but I won't be using it any longer.

Shockingly, this looks good. I originally laughed at the notion of a "sequel" to the inimitable "300," but this doesn't look too bad at all.

In a bid to improve my health and my workspace, I'm thinking of buying a standing desk. The prices I see for them make me uncomfortable, but I'm thinking of biting the bullet anyone. I know it'll be better for my health and my productivity.
Here's one I'm looking at:

Cali Lewis recently featured one of a different color on a tour of her work desk:
A Tour of Cali's Desk
Heres's the GeekBeat.tv review of the UpDesk:

Does anyone here use a standing desk? How's your experience been?
