Thought I would type up a few thoughts on the things that I am following these days:<\/p>\n
2016 Election<\/b><\/p>\n
It was a short but sweet run by one of my intellectual heroes, Lawrence Lessig<\/a>, but now that he has been flummoxed by the politcal machinery of the Democratic Party, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m back to full-on support of Bernie Sanders. My Bernie 2016 sticker never left the tailgate, I promise.<\/p>\n Despite what you might think of Bernie Sanders, I think this op-ed about immigration policy in the New York Times<\/a> is worth a read. The media has generally treated Bernie as a fringe candidate, despite consistently strong polling and support, and the NY Times has generally followed suit. Bernie is a man of principles though, and when you have a situation like the Syrian refugee crisis, a clear headed approach that calls upon our basic shared values as a country (and, you know, Jesus) just makes sense.<\/p>\n I would encourage the 3 or so readers of my blog (and who among you is undecided, really?) to check out this political quiz<\/a>. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d be interested to know how you scored.<\/p>\n Encryption \/ Privacy Online<\/b><\/p>\n I continue to be very interested in the topic of encryption and privacy. I also continue to have zero friends and family who would like to take the time to set up email encryption with me\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 oh well.<\/p>\n To learn more, the eff<\/a> is your resource.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This New York Times op-ed is worth a read: Mass surveillance isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the answer<\/a><\/p>\n Reading<\/b><\/p>\n Current:<\/p>\n
