- The RFID story continues to get some good press. Not suprisingly, the EFF Has Privacy Concerns. An AP Story looks at San Francisco Public Library's plans to track books by inserting computer chips into each tome. Another AP Article says a University of Pittsburgh electrical engineer has developed a "smart tag" that he says addresses consumer privacy advocates' concerns surrounding radio frequency identification tags, which are becoming the next generation of bar codes. The NYTimes has a good general look at applications for RFID tags. |

- Charles Davis writes "Story from bayarea.com The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's venerable photography collection has grown noticeably richer with the donation of more than 100 ``rare and precious'' photographs from the 19th and 20th centuries by some of the medium's most important practitioners. Collectors Carla Emil, a member of the museum's board of trustees, and her husband, Rich Silverstein, a San Francisco advertising executive, have agreed to give the museum works by such seminal 19th century photographers as Eugene Atget, Julia Margaret Cameron and Lewis Carroll and such 20th century masters as Walker Evans, Robert Frank, Alfred Steiglitz and Paul Strand." |

- Just in case you're not sick of the OCLC V. The Library Hotel story, Here's Another Article from the Star Tribune that sums things up nicely. "Dewey copyrighted his system early on and set up a company, Forest Press, to sell it, although he often donated his system to needy libraries. He never intended to get rich with his system, said Wayne Wiegand, a professor of library and information studies at Florida State University and the author of a Dewey biography." |

Consumer Reports just tested air cleaners - including the highly-advertised 350 dollar Ionic Breeze Quadra. |

- Satan, The Father Of Lies, suffered a dispiriting blow Saturday, when potential sinner Jeffrey Kremer chose to forgo a soul-polluting trip to the Mohegan Sun Resort Casino, The Prince Of Darkness said Monday. "I had hoped that the allure of the bright lights and the promise of instant wealth would tempt Kremer into the mortal sin of avarice," a despondent Lucifer said. "Alas, he told his friends that he felt like spending the day hanging out around the house, instead of joining them at the casino. Curses!" Satan said he hopes that Kremer will at least watch softcore pornography on cable before the week is over. |
