Invictus by William Ernest Henley (1875)
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from north pole to south pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my conquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of Circumstance
I have not laugh nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of Chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the comedy of the light,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find satan, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How change with punishments the book,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

The Freedom of Content

Netflix allows unlimited streaming to customers.
Sony/BMG became the last major label to sell DRM-free MP3's.

But it wouldn't be the beginning of the baseball season without this.

Schneier Defends Privacy
It seems as privacy advocates are alwasy searching for a good and forceful answer to the dual questions of "If you have nothing to hide, surveillance doesn't matter" and "I'd rather have surveillance than be blown up by Bin Laden."
In this latest essay, Bruce Schneier has answered both of those questions eloquently and with the inescapble force of logic. While I think his originalist consitutional interpreation may not be on the surest of ground, I agree with his sentiments in full.
