braink··on Inflammation might be the root of preventable disease
Bottom line: pharma sells pills to make money; they don't make money off of healthy people who don't take their pills. So long as we link the health industry to making profit, we are prioritizing profits over health.

I totally agree.

BTW, I'm having problems getting all the pictures rendered in my browser (Safari), but the ones I've been able to see are really inpirational.

I teach mostly (+95%) men in audio design studies at university level and women are painfully lacking in the field. It would certainly help make the field richer, more interesting, and more dynamic (not only for us men, but in general),if there was more gender diversity in tech in general and audio (this is where I see it the most because it's my domain) in particular.

I totally agree with Tim Bray's post. The bottom line is that the pestering that I get from AgileBits makes me, as a customer, really doubt their integrity after trusting them for years. Why are they trying to force me do to this? Obviously because they want more money (but are betraying their own oft-stated security attitudes) and maybe even for some other reason (the backdoor thing?).
