1.	NaNoWriMo is almost here. National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) -- the annual challenge to write a book in 30 days -- is fast approaching. National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30. Link (Thanks, Randy!)
2.	Kevin Sites: Back to Iraq with MSNBC, back to kevinsites.net blog. Blogger and journalist Kevin Sites is back in Iraq, this time on assignment with MSNBC. He's also re-starting the kevinsites.net blog. Snip from his first post, this time around: The blog is reopen for business. It has been seven months since this site went silent. Time for everyone to get back to work. To all of you who have made this place so interesting with your informed and intelligent discussions, I thank you. For all who have been so kind as to inquire about my welfareâ��I also thank you and apologize for not being able to respond. When CNN politely (I mean this sincerely) asked me to stop blogging I felt it was my obligation to do so immediately and completely. CNN was signing my checks at the time and sent me to Iraq. Although I felt the blog was a separate and independent journalistic enterprise, they did not. Period. We move on. Now I am freelancing again, but currently on-assignment in Iraq with MSNBC. I had been a long time staff member with NBC News and feel comfortable back with my old friends. MSNBC has also agreed to allow me to continue with my PERSONAL and may I stress, NON-AFFILIATED weblog. However, there are a few understandable stipulations which I want to relate to you: 1) Iâ��m here because NBC News has hired me to be here, therefore the observations and experiences in Iraq that I relate to you this blog would probably not happen without them. 2) They have the right of first refusal on anything that I write that relates to this assignment. That means I run it by them and if they want it they will publish it on MSNBC.COM. It will be republished here. 3) If itâ��s something theyâ��re not interested in or not directly related to an assignment theyâ��ve paid me to doâ��it can appear here first. I think thatâ��s fair and bypasses any of the editorial oversight and ownership issues that we encountered in the first run of kevinsites at kevinsites.net That being said, I look forward to a renewed dialogue on the very serious as well as the inane. We hear so much about the â��synergyâ�� of media companies with the so-called vertical integration of different communication businesses, well hereâ��s the chance for individual â��synergyâ�� to impact media coverage. Iâ��d like to know what you see as the shortcomings of media coverage in Iraq and elsewhere. What arenâ��t you getting? What are you getting too much of? I welcome your well-conceived story ideas, relevant information and observations or valuable sources that may contribute to better journalism and a more informed public. Link
3.	Free webhosting for "life" in exchange for getting a logo tatt. Stefan sez, "About ten years back, NPR's morning show ran an April Fools gag story about teens getting corporate logo tattoos on their earlobes in exchange for discounts. Now, a Pennsylvania company will give you free web-page hosting services for life if you get a tattoo of one of their mascots. By 'lifetime,' they mean of their company, of course." Link (Thanks, Stefan!)
4.	URGENT: Tell the FCC to say no to the Broadcast Flag. The FCC is ruling on the dread and dreadful Broadcast Flag, a technology mandate that would give Hollywood a veto over general-purpose PC and home electronics technology, in order to prevent the potential infringement of copyrighted movies on a potential national digital television broadcast network. Breaking PCs and VCRs and PVRs and such today, before there's any evidence of any problem (indeed, Hollywood makes more money every single year, and just closed the books on its best year since 1959) -- it's stupid. Passing a technology mandate before anyone can point to a problem is about as stupid as eating your seatmate before the plane crashes. Nevertheless, there's every indication that the FCC will make the Broadcast Flag happen -- unless we slashdot them with letters telling them not to. EFF has an action center item on this, a letter you can tweak and send in to the commissioners with one click of a mouse. A Broadcast Flag mandate today will make tomorrow's technology dependent on the sufferance of the movie studios -- the companies that Business Week called "The most change-resistant companies in America." If you don't want these companies speccing your PC in a couple years, send a letter now -- this is easily the most important thing you can do this year to safeguard your technology freedom. Tell your friends. Re-blog this. This is big, important stuff. Hollywood is at it again, trying to control the design of new digital technologies. If the motion picture studios have their way, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will force all future televisions to include Hollywood-approved "content protection" technologies. Fair use, innovation and competition will suffer. What's more, the "broadcast flag" technology that the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has proposed is so weak that it will do nothing to stem Internet redistribution of television programs. In fact, the only people hurt by this are legitimate consumers, innovators and researchers. The FCC has promised a ruling before the end of October. We need you to tell the FCC that we don't need "broadcast flag" regulations that hurt competition, consumers and innovators. Link

1.	Scannell needs money to keep fighting CAPPS II. Bill Scannell (the cypherpunk who has devoted his energies to outing Delta, Jet Blue, Cendant and the CAPPS II/TIA unpatriotism emanating from the Feds) needs help if he is to continue doing his good work. He's broke, basically -- spending all your time blowing whistles puts a big dent in your earning power. So he's soliciting donations. Running the anti-CAPPS II campaign costs a lot of time and money. The Boycott Delta and Don't Spy On US websites require a team of graphic artists and web designers. As you can imagine, the bandwidth usage is enormous. The over 40 million dollars in publicity generated for the ongoing anti-CAPPS II awareness campaign came at a cost of hundreds of media interviews, astronomical telephone bills, and all of my time and energy. Up to now, I have funded this project out of my own personal savings. America has been good to me and spending money to keep our country free seemed only fair. Unfortunately, I can't do this alone anymore, which is why I am turning to you for help. Link

The site scrapes Hansard, the badly designed website for the UK Parliamentary record, reformats all the information to be had therein, and presents it in inforgraphic Tuftean glory, as a series of easy-to-digest and permalinkable charts, stats and so forth.

It's a website wherein he plans to post one daily photo for the next ten years. Why? A few weeks ago I realized how quickly everything has been changing since I've turned 30, and how much I miss doing daily photos. I came up with the idea of doing it over ten years for a couple reasons. Although it sounds like a lot of work, it's only about 3650 images if I posted every single day, and I've taken more than that many shots in just the last year alone. During the upcoming ten years, from the time I turn 31 until I turn 41, I expect I'll be witnessing a great deal of major changes and would love to have a way to remember them. Link
3.	How do you get the sheet metal Bill of Rights home?. Little did I suspect, when I slipped my pal Nelson a sheet-metal Bill of Rights, that it would be the source of a flash of horrible realization that we're in deep crap: I'm not one to make displays like that so it was an accident it came with me to New York. But now where do I put it going home? In checked luggage, where security may find it while I'm not around and decide to punish me for being clever? Or in my hand luggage, where it may cause my bag to be searched and an awkward conversation? Maybe I should just leave it behind. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated Then I realized, I was stressing about what people would think about me having a copy of the Bill of Rights! It's a terrible thing we've done to ourselves. Link
