This by @kkakaes is one of the more challenging and thoughtful pieces I've seen on the limits of speech and drones. http://www.cjr.org/the_feature/drones_can_photograph_almost_anything_but_should_they.php …

Cause I gotta say, this daily "FLAKY CELEBRITY SAYS CRAP THING" clickbait cycle sure feels parasitic and destructive

Trying to administer a class from a phone at baseball practice: suboptimal.

Of the 11 agencies contacted, four responded with PDFs, one with Word documents, three with Excel files. The rest did not respond.

The Department of Health and Human Services responded with a 321 page scanned PDF of a database report.

My employer responded to a request for data on the state of dorm rooms on check-in by saying it would threaten the entire university network

Of the three (out of 8) agencies that responded with actual data, all of them responded with Excel files.

A new one: Agency responds to request for data with Word documents.

Four presentations, three agencies responded to requests for data with PDFs.

The first student presentation had a government entity respond by giving him a screenshot of a spreadsheet.

This term, my students had to get a public-but-not-online record from a state/local govt. The presentations should be a legislative hearing.

'Cause in this life Things are much harder than in the after world In this life You're on your own

Instead of asking him how much of your time is left Ask him how much of your mind, baby

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills You know the one, Dr. Everything'll Be Alright

A world of never ending happiness You can always see the sun, day or night

Electric word life It means forever and that's a mighty long time But I'm here to tell you There's something else The after world

Dearly beloved We are gathered here today To get through this thing called life.
