The Regulation of Reality. The Illusion of Protection. June 26, 2011. In The ethics of sunscreen. Seth Godin explains how, in the US, sunscreen is marketed using measures such as SPF (which is largely irrelevant when it comes to protecting consumers from skin cancer and aging) and claims such as ‘waterproof’ (which is often outright false.) He then goes on to ask the question (emphasis mine):. How can consumers look at this example and not believe that the regulation of marketing claims is the only way.

The Goozex Report: September 2009
http://thegoozexreport.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
September 30, 2009. This past Wednesday, Konami set loose Zombie Apocalypse for both the Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, which infected consoles everywhere. Heavily inspired by retro favorites like Smash TV and Robotron 2084, this roughly 300 MB post-apocalyptic world arrives nearly two decades later. Does it become a contemporary successor or a mindless clone or…could it possibly be both? This is one big strategy of a game, believe it or not. You must think on the tip of your toes as zombi...

Geografnik: July 2010
http://geografnik.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 9, 2010. Addendum to Last Post. I mentioned briefly in my last post that all the world's land is claimed by some governmental entity, with the exception of Antarctica. Even Antarctica has claims on it, but these are not internationally recognized, and have not so far had much practical value for the nations claiming them. . Friday, July 2, 2010. FORTY ACRES AND A MANATEE. If you're fed up with the poisonous political climate in this country, I have an idea and a half for you. Look, Bioshock ...

Extropolitica: settembre 2011
http://extropolitca.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Le mie considerazioni sulla politica internazionale, quella interna, il progresso tecnologico e le libertà dei singoli esseri umani. Tecnologie destabilizzanti: Charter Cities e Seasteading. Qualche tempo fa, ha stimato che il costo del parassitismo statale è del 76% della ricchezza prodotta. Se pensate che queste stime siano vere o verosimili (credo che ci voglia poco per convincervi), in questo momento state pensando a cosa fare. Emigrare? Sono una idea di Paul Romer. E Lubecca. Entrambe erano land...

Whoops Singularity: Taller, Deeper, Greener.
http://www.whoopssingularity.com/2015/06/taller-deeper-greener.html
Thursday, 11 June 2015. Taller, Deeper, Greener. I am trying to think forward 50 years or so for a new book. Taller, deeper and greener seem to be the generally accepted trends. But this misses the alienation technology and architecture are causing in our collective psyche. I want to explore the idea of libertarian micro nations, e.g. http:/ www.seasteading.org. And how technology, freedom and architecture play off each other. T he Great Divide. Http:/ www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05v7tbr.

The End Of The World As We Know It And I Feel Fine. This blog comes only slightly filtered. Topics include preparedness, rights, politics, music, Hollywood, and the stinking corpse that is America today. Monday, August 31, 2009. So I thought I would see if some of these thoughts would work for prepping. In a DR scenario you split your applications up into different tiers. Let's take a fictional company's applications for an example. Accounts receivable and billing. Home directories file share. A word abo...
