Commented on British police use unprovoked violence and restraint as punishment for observers who ask them to identify themselves at protests
Use 'qik' or something like it. Phones can be confiscated, but if video and pics are streamed live to remote servers, the act of confiscation itself is recorded. http://qik.com/ Anybody know other apps doing this job?...

Commented on Neal Stephenson's researcher teaching "Research for Writers" seminar
It's what we do and is why we're valuable: intense research ain't a particularly easy vocation, and is usually a thankless one. Yr library can help carry you to the water, but for the further work, writers had best call...

Ark, thanks for the Boujou links! Although that's a little out of the price range for the home hobbyist, alas.

What this guy's using, PFHoe, is a lot cheaper, and seems to do a great job....

Yep, his solution seems well up to the task - it's very impressive work. I wonder if his talent is what makes it so, or is it actually that decent a set up. Boujou is (almost) click and go. I've worked with other apps that took a lot more work to get a result....
