If CISPA passes, companies could vacuum up huge swaths of data on everyday Internet users and share it with the government without a court order. I oppose CISPA, and I’m calling on Congress to reject any legislation that:<br/> *  Uses dangerously vague language to define the breadth of data that can be shared with the government.<br/> *  Hands the reins of America’s cybersecurity defenses to the NSA, an agency with no transparency and little accountability.<br/> *  Allows data shared with the government to be used for purposes unrelated to cybersecurity.</em></p> <p><em>Join me in opposing this bill by posting this statement on your own page and using this online form to send a letter to Congress against CISPA:</em></p> <p><em><a href="https://action.eff.org/o/9042/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=8444" target="_blank">https://action.eff.org/o/9042/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=8444</a></em></p>http://anndar.net/post/21266548073http://anndar.net/post/21266548073Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:27:41 -0400CongressTMICISPA<iframe frameborder="0" height="360px" src="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper-watch-for-iphone-and-android/widget/video.html" width="480px"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Just backed this project via Kickstarter- looks awesome</p>http://anndar.net/post/21265444135http://anndar.net/post/21265444135Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:42:00 -0400“There are no coincidences…only synchronicities.”http://anndar.net/post/18669562256http://anndar.net/post/18669562256Sat, 03 Mar 2012 12:19:52 -0500““Do not encumber your mind with useless thoughts.
