Finals are Over
Link of the Day White House Correspondence Dinner Video
A huge weight is off my shoulders today. That’s right. I had my last final for the semester this morning. Now, I’m back to work on the recruiting site on Monday. So, I should have most of the programming for that done by the end of this coming week, leaving content as the remaining problem for the page.
As for the NSA phone analysis, I’ve got nothing to hide or worry about. Therefore, I see no problem with what they’re doing. The NSA doesn’t work for the republican party and certainly is not in a big brother conspiracy. I was talking with a democrat, and they were worried that, for example, the phone call database could be used to find out who donated to the democratic party. After thinking that over, I couldn’t care less if that kind of analysis was occuring.
As for the priviledged internet service legislation, deemed by phone companies and ISPS, I truly care about this. For example, I don’t want an ISP deciding not to allow my own content be available through their network. The internet is about freedom of information, and I see this as discrimination towards small business that is a daily normality on the net. Information is not to be governed. That smells of communism.
There you have it, my spur of the moment viewpoints on two similar subjects. If anyone’s interested, I could formulate some more and write a better argument. But hey, finals are over and I’m going on vacation for he weekend.
