Wordslinger: Lacey: December 2007
http://laceyslinger.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 14, 2007. Beacon may violate 1988 privacy law. According to this story. By Computerworld, the Video Privacy Protection Act of 1988 bans rental companies from releasing personal records of movie rentals unless a customer gives them permission to do so in writing. It may mean Facebook's privacy harangle. With Beacon is solved by the opt-out they added. In fact, it likely means the opt-out they've already installed becomes legally necessary. Links to this post.

Wordslinger: Lacey: Zombies in the California capitol - and beyond
http://laceyslinger.blogspot.com/2008/12/zombies-in-california-capitol-and.html
Thursday, December 11, 2008. Zombies in the California capitol - and beyond. Two weeks ago, L.A. Times columnist George Skelton accused the California legislators of acting like zombies. Mired in a fog of unresponsiveness to our current fiscal crisis ($15 billion smackaroos in the hole). I was glad to see the column, because he's absolutely right. The state needs money; too many people depend on state spending in their livelihoods for cuts to make sense; it's time for a tax increase. And rightfully so...

Wordslinger: Lacey: Normalcy, hype, and sex offenders: Internet ban may be too handicapping
http://laceyslinger.blogspot.com/2008/01/normalcy-hype-and-sex-offenders.html
Wednesday, January 2, 2008. Normalcy, hype, and sex offenders: Internet ban may be too handicapping. New Jersey has recently passed a law banning some sex offenders from using the internet. Under the legislation, anyone who has been convicted of a committing a sexual offense and used a computer in that offense will not be allowed to use the internet. The law makes exceptions for work use and job hunting. New rules created by NJ's state Parole Board follow in the same vein, according to the New York Times.

Wordslinger: Lacey: November 2007
http://laceyslinger.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 25, 2007. When legality and morality don't match: cyber-bullying and internet shaming. Five days ago, a small town in Missouri passed legislation outlawing online harassment in response to the story of one teen who committed suicide after insulting MySpace bulletins were posted about her. According to the Suburban Journals story. After reading the online insults, Megan hanged herself in her closet. She died the next day. According to an AP story. The law comes too late to allow Tina to p...

Wordslinger: Lacey: Concert Review: Apocalyptica drowns beneath drums at the Boardwalk
http://laceyslinger.blogspot.com/2008/04/concert-review-apocalyptica-drowns.html
Tuesday, April 15, 2008. Concert Review: Apocalyptica drowns beneath drums at the Boardwalk. The chance to hear heavy metal classics played on acoustic cellos (and played by four beautiful Finnish men) doesn't come every day. And if you enjoy head banging and a great beat, you'll love the experience of seeing the band Apocalyptica live. But if you go to a concert to - oh, I don't know. Hear the music -. Stay home when Apocalyptica comes to your town. Head bang and play masterfully at the same time? I shu...
