If you abandon a moral position because that position puts you at risk, then the position was never moral, but merely one of convenience. Bravery is sticking to your beliefs, even when those beliefs open you to danger. No matter what our military strength, we are cowards if we do not fight in a manner consistent with our beliefs. And this is more true the graver the danger, not the other way around as some would have it. There is no way to temporarily lay aside justice. Once it's gone you cannot have it back.
I ran out of disk space on my iMac and my mail program crashes pretty hard. I'm trying to recover right now, but I might have lost email sent to me after 6:00 pm last night.
Check out this new Nokia 6800 phone with regular numeric keypad, and - with a flip - full qwerty keyboard. Genius.

Wired has an article about a company, Vivato, set to introduce a new type of antenna for wifi (802.11) access points that will greatly increase the range of these devices. If we are to believe them their new antenna will provide for 2000 foot radius coverage indoors, and up to 4 miles outside! Holy wow. That would pretty much solve almost everything.

Cory Doctorow reviews Harold Rheingold's new book Smartmobs. Worth a look.
Wow. Long elaborate dream last night. We were on some kind of plush party train Big Jimmy had hooked up rolling across Montana. The countryside was filled with weird space ship launching pads. And I kept trying to blog everything on my mobile. I think that helped me remember so much of the dream.
In one of the cars I met a woman who had a much cooler mobile device. It was called a Bueno Avalanche. I remember trying to write the name into a blog, and it was taking me forever because the letters kept changing around. Anyway, the device folded up in the most improbably manner, so that when closed it was about the size of a book of matches, but then it would expand transformer-style into a much bigger device. I was showing her mine, but she wasn't very impressed. "That's last generation technology."
Don't miss blogs of the day: one, two.
The image upload function is about to get a nice upgrade. I've always wanted these features but didn't think I could do it before. Very satisfying to see it finally working. (Note: it's not working at this site yet.)
