- damn, i have been dreading the end of this peaceful weekend all day.... just think how much more we would all get accomplished if a three day weekend were the standard. if you're like me, you tend to cram so much activity and to do list activities into a weekend, it never feels like you are truly getting things accomplished, without feeling like you are sacraficing your relaxation time, to do it. jr. actually had to go to school today, which wasn't that bad of a deal. |

- I took my camera to Starbucks yesterday. I had every intention of joining the crowd and snapping pics of America's favorite coffee shop when I had an epiphany. Why the hell do I care about snapping photos of Starbucks? The only answer I had to that question was because Lawrence Lessig and a host of bloggers seemed to think it was a good idea. |

- Bello rivedere il mare dopo mesi. Bello rivederlo nella piccola località di villeggiatura della riviera romagnola dove non andavi da quando avevi 13 anni. Bello ritrovare quasi tutto al proprio posto, quasi uguale a 22 anni fa, quando ci passavi settimane con la nonna che ti insegnava a fare la Settimana Enigmistica sotto al portico della Pensione Lina, ora hotel.

- Hate crime reporting is pretty bad in general, and once you're not talking about race it gets worse. Still, HRW did something on post 9/11 hate crimes, and given that there are 10-15 times as many Muslims as Sikhs, and I'm pretty sure that such a gap doesn't exist in the crime numbers. I haven't read the report but my impression was that they were close to even, with Sikhs suffering some of the more violent crimes. |
