"We need to start over with a transparent process. Instead of using lobbyists to try and do this over the holidays, we need a transparent process to start over and include the community. There's a fundamental difference between people who want to see the internet and say "Let's lobotomize and censor parts of it because we need to control it" and those like us who see the internet as a method of growing the economy and innovating in front of the world. And we have to reconcile those two positions. And we believe it is better to protect this crown jewel of civilization, which is the ability for us to communicate and express our ideas freely, then try to lobotomize it." -Ben Huh

Website outages and blackouts the right way
tl;dr: Use a 503 HTTP status code but read on for important details.
Sometimes webmasters want to take their site offline for a day or so, perhaps for server maintenance or as political protest. We’re currently seeing some recommendations being made about how to do this that have a high chance of hurting how Google sees these websites and so we wanted to give you a quick how-to guide based on our current recommendations.
The most common scenario we’re seeing webmasters talk about implementing is to replace the contents on all or some of their pages with an error message (“site offline”) or a protest message. The following applies to this scenario (replacing the contents of your pages) and so please ask (details below) if you’re thinking of doing something else.
1. The most important point: We... more »

Before Solving a Problem, Make Sure You've Got the Right Problem
I was pleased to see the measured tone of the White House response to the citizen petition about #SOPA and #PIPA
https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions#/!/response/combating-online-piracy-while-protecting-open-and-innovative-internet
and yet I found myself profoundly disturbed by something that seems to me to go to the root of the problem in Washington: the failure to correctly diagnose the problem we are trying to solve, but instead to accept, seemingly uncritically, the claims of various interest groups. The offending paragraph is as follows:
"Let us be clear—online piracy is a real problem that harms the American economy, and threatens jobs for significant numbers of middle class workers and hurts some of our nation's most creative and innovative companies and e... more »

Rick Santorum just blatantly equates Blacks with welfare. Someone asked a question about expanding welfare and Santorum says "I don't want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money." WTF is the matter with the party of Lincoln that welfare just automatically means black and brown people?
Pro-Tip: Only 9% of Iowans on welfare are black.

Et tu, Brute?
Microsoft and Apple are using a front group supporting the Internet Censorship Bill SOPA. I feel a horrible sense of betrayal of the Internet...

Don't get why we're all up in arms over SOPA? I'll let someone more articulate-er than me explain:

It took me less than a minute to send a message to my representatives asking them to actually represent my interests for once.

Hey Congressman/woman,
If you censor my Internets, I will vote you the fuck out, period.
Share it on. #anti-SOPA

Also, it's so easy a tiny old dog could set the temperature. (With out even having to look directly at the screen.)

I would like you to welcome to the world, Mr.ComfyPantz, our new Nest Thermostat. We happened to be the 11% of the US that actually set the thermostat schedule and we're curious to see if this will still save energy. It's awesome that it actually connects with our WI-FI and backs up our settings. Installation took about 15 minutes.
