Nice to see a punk community springing up in Google+!  Here's my first pick.  Posting the play store link since they don't have many youtube videos available and since Revolution and World on Fire are my faves...

There are almost 100k public schools in the USA.

Let's assume a police officer in each school costs $50k/year.  (And that probably doesn't include pension costs).  That's $5 billion dollars per year.

There are around 10m guns sold in the USA per year.  So to fund this we'd have to add a $500/gun tax.

I couldn't find stats on ammunition sales, but it might make even more sense to tax bullets.  Maybe based on their lethality.  BB guns are free.  Cop Killer bullets are $2000.

[left this originally as a comment +Dan Gillmor's post, but I think it deserves broader sharing since I think it puts this whole thing into perspective...]

Yes, only the 1% should have guns! :-)

Since I posted cats, it's equal time for dogs.  Talking Dogs. With Blogs.

Yes, this is real.  It's typical Disney daytime fare (precocious kids, sacharine humor, and the ever present laugh track.)  The dog is adorable and they do like their puns -- including an episode where the dog drives named The Fast and the Furriest.

NASA swag from the 60s. Anyone want their own scale replica of a lunar lander?

Nice!

I have a soft spot for the LEM -- my Dad's machine shop made the cylinders for the legs; we had a spare in our garage in Massachusetts for many years.  (And have since donated it to a local museum.)

It's high noon for the internet and the ITU.

http://google.com/takeaction

The watch you see was from the 1998 plenipotentiary conference in Minneapolis. I implemented the RealAudio streaming for the conference back when I worked in the IT department at the ITU.

Engraved on the back of the watch is the text "Offered by SWISSCOM".

Instead of tossing that torrent of catalogs consider using Catalog Choice to stop them at the source.  Results have been noticeable after using them for about a year.

Liking btrfs a lot.  This weekend I started upgrading to a 2x2T drive setup for media from a single 1T drive.  A bit of a pain, but I learned a bit.  I also found out that my current drive was probably in worse shape than I thought.

- Upgrading Seagate drive firmware using grub2 chained bootable iso was a no-go.  Will just have to live with it.

I really like the promise of btrfs a lot. I tried migrating to it last year and was very thankful for backups. I'm going to hang on for another year and then move over to it.

What I really like is the promise of seamlessly adding new disks to an array and removing smaller less efficient disks without doing the big software raid upgrade dance.
